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 light-emitting device includes a substrate that is at least partially transparent to optical radiation and has a first index of refraction. A diode region is disposed on a first surface of the substrate and is configured to emit light responsive to a voltage applied thereto. An encapsulation layer may be disposed on a second surface of the substrate and has a second index of refraction. An antireflective layer stack is formed within the substrate directly below the second surface of the substrate. The antireflective layer has an amorphous non-porous first layer, a porous second layer, an optional amorphous non porous third layer, and a fourth layer with modified crystallinity. The encapsulation layer may also be omitted and the substrate's second surface may separate the substrate, which has an antireflective layer stack within the substrate, directly below the second substrate surface, from air.

Abstract: A vacuum insulating glazing unit is described. The vacuum insulating glazing unit has a first glass pane and a second glass pane; a set of discrete spacers positioned between the first and second glass panes, maintaining a distance between the first and the second glass panes; a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter thereof; an internal volume defined by the first and second glass panes and the set of discrete spacers and closed by the hermetically bonding seal, where the internal volume has an absolute vacuum pressure of less than 0.1 mbar. The outer pane face of the second glass pane is laminated to at least one glass sheet by at least one polymer interlayer forming a laminated assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to solar-control glazings intended to be fitted in buildings, but also in motor vehicles. They comprise a glass substrate carrying a transparent multilayer stack comprising an alternation of n silver-based functional layers that reflect infrared radiation and of n+1 dielectric coatings, with n≥1, such that each functional layer is surrounded by dielectric coating. At least one of the dielectric coatings comprises a substantially metallic solar radiation absorbing layer based on Pd, enclosed between and in contact with two dielectric oxide layers of at least one element selected from Zn, Sn, Al, In, Nb, Ti and Zr.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode pair for generating a linear plasma wherein the electrodes (21, 22) are segmented. More particularly, the present invention relates to a plasma source, for instance a hollow-cathode plasma source, comprising one or more plasma-generating electrode pairs wherein the electrodes are segmented. The present invention further relates to methods for controlling the uniformity of a linear plasma and also to methods for surface treating or coating substrates in a uniform way with linear plasma sources.
