The heat-shielding heat insulating substrate is a heat-shielding heat insulating substrate including a transparent substrate layer and an infrared reflection layer, the heat-shielding heat insulating substrate including: a protective topcoat layer arranged on a side of the infrared reflection layer opposite to the transparent substrate layer; and a protective film arranged on a surface of the protective topcoat layer opposite to the infrared reflection layer, wherein a 180° peel strength of the protective film to the protective topcoat layer under an environment having a temperature of 23±1° C. and a humidity of 50±5% RH is from 0.01 N/50 mm to 0.40 N/50 mm, and wherein a 180° peel strength of the protective film to the protective topcoat layer after storage of the heat-shielding heat insulating substrate under an environment having a temperature of 80±1° C. for 10 days is from 0.01 N/50 mm to 1.0 N/50 mm.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to techniques for laser ablating/scribing peripheral edges of a coating (e.g., a low-emissivity, mirror, or other coating) on a glass or other substrate in a pre- or post-laminated assembly, pre- or post-assembled insulated glass unit, and/or other product, in order to slow or prevent corrosion of the coating. For example, a 1064 nm or other wavelength laser may be used to scribe lines into the metal and/or metallic layer(s) in a low-emissivity or other coating provided in an already-laminated or already-assembled insulated glass unit or other product, e.g., around its periphery. The scribe lines decrease electron mobility from the center of the coating to the environment and, thus, slow and sometimes even prevent the onset of electrochemical corrosion. Associated products, methods, and kits relating to same also are contemplated herein.

The present invention is an antireflective film, including: a support base, and a pattern composed of a photoresist material formed on the support base, the index at a point closer to the support base. The present invention provides an antireflective film that is able to give antireflection effect to decrease the reflection of light, a method of producing the same, and an eyeglass type display.

An electrosurgical instrument includes a jaw member having an electrically conductive tissue sealing plate configured to operably couple to a source of electrosurgical energy for treating tissue. A polydimethylsiloxane coating having a thickness in the range of from about 35 nm to about 85 nm is disposed on the tissue sealing plate.

A method for manufacturing a substrate laminate includes steps Sa, Sb, Sc, Sd, and Se. In step Sa, a photosensitive composition is applied to one surface of a first substrate to form a coating film on the surface. In step Sb, the coating film is irradiated with an active energy ray through a photomask to form an exposed portion formed of the semi-cured photosensitive composition and a non-exposed portion in the coating film. In step Sc, the non-exposed portion is removed from the first substrate with an alkaline developer to form a patterned coating film on the first substrate. In step Sd, the patterned coating film is heated to obtain a first layer. In step Se, the first layer and a second substrate are bonded to each other with an adhesive interposed therebetween, the adhesive is then cured to obtain a second layer.

A method of calibrating a focal point of a laser apparatus inscribed in a parallelepiped rectangle R defined by a longitudinal axis, X, a vertical axis, Y defining a plane P and a lateral axis, Z. The method uses a laser apparatus for treating a window that includes a mounting means to mount a decoating apparatus on the window mounted in situ.
