摘要:
The invention relates to using the heat generated during thermal treatment of one or more glass sheets to melt solder. In one nonlimiting embodiment, a lead providing external access to an electrical conductive arrangement, e.g. a conductive member between and connected to spaced bus bars between laminated sheets has an end portion of a connector, e.g. a lead soldered to each of the bus bars during thermal processing of the sheets, e.g. during the lamination of the sheets during a windshield manufacturing process. In another nonlimiting embodiment, the connector is soldered to the electrically conductive arrangement during the annealing of glass blanks following the heating and shaping of the glass blanks. Soldering the leads during the annealing or laminating process eliminated possible thermal damage to the sheet by having the sheet heated during the soldering operation instead of only a small surface portion of the sheet at and eliminates the cost of a separated soldering operation.

A heatable transparency includes a first ply having a No. 1 surface and a No. 2 surface and a second ply having a No. 3 surface and a No. 4 surface. The No. 2 surface faces the No. 3 surface. An electrically conductive coating is formed on at least a portion of the No. 2 or No. 3 surface, with the conductive coating including three or more metallic silver layers. An antireflective coating is formed on the No. 4 surface.

A low temperature solder including indium in the range of 62-65 weight percent and tin in the range of 31-33 weight percent uses the heat generated during thermal treatment of one or more glass sheets to melt the solder. In one non-limiting embodiment, a lead providing external access to an electrical conductive arrangement, e.g. a conductive member between and connected to spaced bus bars between laminated sheets has an end portion of a connector, e.g. a lead soldered to each of the bus bars during thermal processing of the sheets, e.g. during the lamination of the sheets during a windshield manufacturing process. In another nonlimiting embodiment, the connector is soldered to the electrically conductive arrangement during the annealing of glass blanks following the heating and shaping of the glass blanks.
摘要:
An electrically heatable transparency has at least one substrate, a first bus bar spaced from a second bus bar, and a conductive coating formed over at least a portion of the substrate. The first and second bus bars are in electrical contact with the coating. At least one of the bus bars has an end region in electrical contact with the coating. The end region is tapered such that the coating is of substantially uniform thickness on the end region.

An antenna includes a support and an electroconductive first antenna element, e.g., an electroconductive coating, located on the support and spaced from at least one electroconductive second antenna element. The first antenna element is connected to a ground through an electronic filter device, such as an inductor, configured to pass selected frequencies, e.g., AM frequencies, to the ground to eliminate the selected frequencies from the signal provided by the first antenna element. The first antenna element is preferably located between the second antenna element and a source of electronic noise to shield the second antenna element from at least a portion of the electronic noise. The second antenna element receives and provides at least one of the selected frequencies passed to the ground from the first antenna element.

A moisture detection system includes an electrical conductor disposed on a surface of a substrate, an oscillator for outputting an oscillator signal at a predetermined amplitude and a predetermined frequency, and a resonator circuit coupled to the electrical conductor and responsive to the oscillator signal for outputting a resonator signal having an amplitude related to a resonant frequency of the electrical conductor. A filter circuit responsive to the resonator signal can output a rectified and filtered signal, and an analog-to-digital converter responsive to the rectified and filtered signal can output a digital signal related to the rectified and filtered signal. A sensor can be provided having a property that varies as a function of a temperature at or adjacent the electrical conductor. A controller can be responsive to the digital signal and the property of the sensor for causing another system to operate as a function thereof.

An electrically conductive coating of an automotive heatable windshield has a communication window having an enhanced frequency selective surface having arranged passing areas (uncoated areas) and blocking areas (coated areas) to pass and block, respectively, predetermined wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. In one nonlimiting embodiment, the frequency selective surface includes a pattern having a first plurality of arcuate break lines on one side of a dividing break line and a second plurality of arcuate break lines on the other side of the dividing break line. An elongated continuous blocking area is between adjacent break lines. The arcuate break lines of a group are nested within one another with the arcuate break line having the largest radius of curvature adjacent the dividing break line. The break lines each have alternating blocking and passing areas. In another embodiment, the enhanced frequency selective surface has a plurality columns spaced from one another by a continuous elongated blocking area. Each of the columns includes passing areas with each of the passing areas have a perimeter with a blocking area in the perimeter spaced from the perimeter. The perimeters of the passing areas contact one another with the blocking area of adjacent passing areas spaced from one another. The elongated blocking area between the break lines and columns extend to the perimeter of the communication window. In this manner current passing through the coating, passes through the communication window to eliminate hot and cold spots around and within the perimeter of the communication window.
