Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to ultra-fast laser treatment of silver-inclusive (low-emissivity) low-E coatings, coated articles including such coatings, and/or associated methods. The low-E coating is formed on a substrate (e.g., borosilicate or soda lime silica glass), with the low-E coating including at least one sputter-deposited silver-based layer, and with each said silver-based layer being sandwiched between one or more dielectric layers. The low-E coating is exposed to laser pulses having a duration of no more than 10 -12 seconds, a wavelength of 355-500 nm, and an energy density of more than 30 kW/cm 2 . The exposing is performed so as to avoid increasing temperature of the low-E coating to more than 300 degrees C while also reducing (a) grain boundaries with respect to, and vacancies in, each said silver-based layer, (b) each said silver-based layer's refractive index, and (c) emissivity of the low-E coating compared to its as-deposited form.

Abstract: A window unit (e.g., insulating glass (IG) window unit) is designed to reduce bird collisions therewith. The window unit may include two or three substrates and at least one of the substrates supports an ultraviolet (UV) reflecting coating. The UV reflecting coating may be patterned by a laser (e.g., femto laser) which is used to either entirely or partially remove (e.g., via laser ablation) a portion of the coating in a pattern, so that after patterning by the laser the patterned coating is either not provided across the entirety of the window unit and/or is non-uniform in UV reflection across the window unit so that the UV reflection differs across different areas of the window thereby making the window unit more visible to birds which can see UV radiation and detect that pattern.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to an electronic device, including a user interface, and processing resources including at least one processor and a memory. The memory stores a program executable by the processing resources to simulate a view of an image through at least one viewer-selected product that is virtually interposed between a viewer using the electronic device and the image by performing functionality including: acquiring the image; facilitating viewer selection of the at least one product in connection with the user interface; retrieving display properties associated with the at least one viewer-selected product; generating, for each said viewer-selected product, a filter to be applied to the acquired image based on retrieved display properties; and generating, for display via the electronic device, an output image corresponding to the generated filter(s) being applied to the acquired image. The electronic device in certain example embodiments may be a smartphone, tablet, and/or the like.
