A method of coating a surface of a glass ribbon during a drawing process using atmospheric vapor deposition is provided. The method includes forming a glass ribbon in a viscoelastic state, desirably with a fusion draw. The glass ribbon is drawn in the viscoelastic state. The glass ribbon is cooled in the viscoelastic state into an elastic state. The glass ribbon is directed into an open end of a reactor. The reactor includes multiple channels. A first channel directs a first reactant gas, a second channel directs a second reactant gas and one or more third channels draw excess reactant, or purge it with inert gas flow, or both.

An electrochromic structure is disclosed, which includes a first transparent non-conductive (GLASS-I) layer, a first transparent conductor (CONDUCTOR-I) layer coupled to the GLASS-I layer, an ion storage layer coupled to the CONDUCTOR-I layer, an electrolyte layer coupled to the ion storage layer, an electrochromic layer coupled to the electrolyte layer, a second transparent conductor (CONDUCTOR-II) layer coupled to the electrochromic layer, and a second transparent non-conductive (GLASS-II) layer coupled to the CONDUCTOR-II layer, wherein the electrochromic layer includes perovskite nickelates thin films formed on a transparent conductive film substrate and which has crystalline grains of the size of about 5 nm to about 200 nm resulting in intergranular porosity of about 5% to about 25%.

Bird collisions with windows or other glazings are minimized or prevented with a glazing comprising as least one substrate with a UV reflectance coating deposited over the substrate in a patterned arrangement comprised of a plurality of stripes, and each of the plurality of stripes has a thickness that changes by 10 nm or less over every 1 mm in width. Such an arrangement of stripes having soft edges are less apparent, and thus more aesthetically pleasing, when compared with a similar arrangement of stripes formed with hard edges, while providing an effective deterrent to bird collisions. The glazing may also be utilized as part of a laminated glazing or insulated glazing unit. A method of manufacturing the glazing is also provided.

Various embodiments herein relate to electrochromic windows that are bird friendly, as well as methods and apparatus for forming such windows. Bird friendly windows include one or more elements that make the window visible to birds so that the birds recognize that they cannot fly through the window. Bird friendly windows can be used to minimize avian-window collisions, and therefore minimize avian deaths resulting from such collisions. In various embodiments, a window may be patterned such that the pattern is visible to birds. In these or other cases, the window may be made hazy, where the haze is visible to birds. The pattern and/or haze may be visible at wavelengths that fall in UV, and minimally noticeable (if at all) in wavelengths within the spectrum visible by humans.

An electronic device having an electrode pattern for a touch sensor is provided. The electronic device include a touch sensor; and a touch key that is formed at a position corresponding to the electrode pattern for the touch sensor and corresponds to a touch region. The electrode pattern is an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) pattern.

A single glass panel for a fire door and a double glazed glass panel for a fire door that have a fireproofness with which the glass sheet passes an international standard ISO 0834 flame insulating performance test and are as inexpensive as possible. For example, the single glass panel for a fire door is obtained by forming a heat reflecting coating with a low emissivity on at least one surface of a glass sheet that is a heat strengthened glass sheet or is more thermally strengthened than a heat strengthened glass sheet, and the double glazed glass panel for a fire door includes a first glass sheet (2B) obtained by forming a heat reflecting coating (4) with an emissivity of 0.07 or less on at least one surface of a glass sheet that is a heat strengthened glass sheet or is more thermally strengthened than a heat strengthened glass sheet and a second glass sheet (2C) that is a heat strengthened glass sheet or is a glass sheet more thermally strengthened than a heat strengthened glass sheet, the first glass sheet (2B) and the second glass sheet (2C) being arranged to face each other with a gap therebetween such that at least one layer of said heat reflecting coating (4) is placed between the two glass sheets (2B) and (2C).

The invention concerns a glazing, comprising a pane of glass, a conductive coating on a surface of the pane of glass, a data transmission window in or adjacent the conductive coating, wherein the data transmission window is at least partly coating-free, wherein the data transmission window comprises, a rectangular portion having a shorter edge and a longer edge; and a protrusion from the shorter edge or the longer edge, wherein the protrusion comprises an axial portion having an axis parallel with the longer edge. A method for manufacturing the glazing and use of the glazing for example as window of a motor vehicle is also claimed. The invention is suitable for radio frequency identification transponders operating for example in the UHF frequency band.
