Abstract: A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly includes at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit that has a first glass pane, GP1, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face and a second glass pane, GP2, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face. A set of discrete pillars is positioned between the first and second glass panes and maintains a distance between the first and the second glass panes. A hermetically bonding seal seals the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter. An internal volume, V, is defined by the first and second glass panes and is closed by the hermetically bonding seal. There is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar and the inner pane faces face the internal volume, V.

Abstract: A vacuum insulating glazing unit comprising a planar area, first and second glass panes, k discrete spacers distributed over the planar area and positioned between the first and second glass panes, wherein k∈ and k>8, and a peripheral bonding seal hermetically sealing the distance between the first and second glass panes defining an internal volume under vacuum, enclosed between the first and second glass panes and bounded by an inner perimeter of the peripheral bonding seal defining the planar area. The inner perimeter has a substantially rectangular geometry with a length, L, a width, W, with L≥W. The discrete spacers are arranged according to the stress field lines of the combination of atmospheric pressure stresses, σp, applied by the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the vacuum insulating glazing, and of thermal stresses, σt, resulting from a temperature difference between exterior and interior environments.

Abstract: A glazing unit with a glass panel that is low in reflectance for RF radiation, a coating system that is high in reflectance for RF radiation disposed on the glass panel and creating onto the glazing unit a dual band bandpass filter. The glazing unit further features at least one frequencies selective decoated portion of the coating system extending along a plane, P, defined by a longitudinal axis, X, and a vertical axis, Z; having a width, DW, measured along the longitudinal axis, X, and a length, DL, measured along the vertical axis, Z. The frequencies selective decoated portion includes a first decoated element with a plurality of unit cells forming a regular grid, and a plurality of second decoated elements wherein a second decoated element is placed in each unit cell of the first decoated element and no second decoated element is in contact with the first decoated element.

Abstract: A method for preparing catalyst particles includes providing a catalyst starting material and an ion beam and implanting the catalyst starting material with an ion beam dose comprised between 4.5×1018 ions/g and 2×1019 ions/g comprising monocharged or monocharged and multicharged ions with an energy of the monocharged ions in the ion beam from at least 10 keV to at most 100 keV, thereby obtaining a catalyst. Such catalyst particles are useful in NOx, CO, and/or HC emission reduction devices, fuel cells, or as a catalyst in chemical reactions.

Abstract: A method for preparing catalyst particles that includes providing a catalyst starting material, an ion beam, and an electrostatic charge reduction device selected from a source of UV light, a source of X-rays, an electron beam, and an electrically grounded catalytic starting material carrier. The method further includes implanting the catalyst starting material with an ion beam dose primarily made of monocharged or monocharged and multicharged ions with an energy of the monocharged ions in the ion beam from at least 10 keV to at most 100 keV thereby obtaining a catalyst. The obtained catalyst particles particles are useful in NOx, CO, and/or HC emission reduction devices, fuel cells, or catalysts in chemical reactions.
