Abstract

A laminated glazing includes first and second sheets of glazing material joined by an interlayer structure including a first sheet of adhesive interlayer material having a first (window) region for positioning a (LIDAR) sensor thereon and a second region that is a through-vision region. The first region comprises a first portion and the second region comprises a second portion of a major surface of the first sheet of glazing material. The laminated glazing has a first transmittance of electromagnetic radiation transmitted by the sensor at the first portion that is higher than a second transmittance at the second portion. It also has a visible light transmission greater than 70% at the second portion. The separation of the first and second glazing material sheets varies in at least one direction and/or the first sheet of adhesive comprises heat absorbing particles such as lanthanum hexaboride particles or certain metal-doped metal oxide particles.

Abstract

A process for preparing a laminated glazing comprises providing a first glass sheet formed into a desired shape with a first thickness by a first procedure and providing a second glass sheet formed into a desired shape with a second thickness by a second procedure with an interlayer located therebetween, and laminating together the first and second glass sheets and the interlayer at a temperature and pressure sufficient to adhere the interlayer material to the glass sheets and in which the process further comprises applying a mould which is shaped substantially the same as the first glass sheet, against the second glass sheet, during laminating to adhere the interlayer material to the two glass sheets such that after lamination, the shape of the second glass sheet is substantially the same as the shape of the first glass sheet.

Abstract

The invention is a nonwoven fabric characterized by satisfying 0.25≤(L2/V)≤10, when an average fiber diameter of all fibers is L (μm) and a volume per m2 is V (cm3). The nonwoven fabric leads to a solid electrolyte-carrying sheet in which solid electrolyte particles are carried between fibers and which can achieve a good balance among thickness reduction, powder falling property of the solid electrolyte particles, and electrical conductivity.
