The present disclosure relates generally to methods for the integration of electrochromic films onto a substrate, such as a glass window, and the systems/structures formed via such methods.

A low-E coating has good color stability (a low ΔE* value) upon heat treatment (HT). Thermal stability may be improved by the provision of an as-deposited crystalline or substantially crystalline layer of or including zinc oxide, doped with at least one dopant (e.g., Sn), immediately under an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of or including silver; and/or by the provision of at least one dielectric layer of or including an oxide of zirconium. These have the effect of significantly improving the coating's thermal stability (i.e., lowering the ΔE* value). An absorber film may be designed to adjust visible transmission and provide desirable coloration, while maintaining durability and/or thermal stability. The dielectric layer (e.g., of or including an oxide of Zr) may be sputter-deposited so as to have a monoclinic phase in order to improve thermal stability.

The invention relates to a trim element for interior vehicle. According to the invention, the trim element is made of glass sheet.

In various embodiments, electronic devices such as touch-panel displays incorporate interconnects featuring a conductor layer and, disposed above the conductor layer, a capping layer comprising an alloy of Cu and one or more refractory metal elements selected from the group consisting of Ta, Nb, Mo, W, Zr, Hf, Re, Os, Ru, Rh, Ti, V, Cr, and Ni.

A metallic lustrous member with radio wave transmissibility is provided, which is capable of being easily produced, while ensuring a structure in which not only chromium or indium but also any of some other metals such as aluminum is formed as a metal layer on a continuous surface of any of various materials, and also an article using the member is provided. A production method for a metallic lustrous member with radio wave transmissibility, which is capable of easily forming, as a metal layer, not only chromium or indium but also any of some other metals such as aluminum, on a continuous surface of any of various materials. The metallic lustrous member comprises a substrate having radio wave transmissibility, and an aluminum layer formed directly on a continuous surface of the substrate. The aluminum layer has a discontinuous region including a plurality of separated segments which are mutually discontinuous.

An end-to-end system for data generation, map creation using the generated data, and localization to the created map is disclosed. Mapstreamsor streams of sensor data, perception outputs from deep neural networks (DNNs), and/or relative trajectory datacorresponding to any number of drives by any number of vehicles may be generated and uploaded to the cloud. The mapstreams may be used to generate map dataand ultimately a fused high definition (HD) mapthat represents data generated over a plurality of drives. When localizing to the fused HD map, individual localization results may be generated based on comparisons of real-time data from a sensor modality to map data corresponding to the same sensor modality. This process may be repeated for any number of sensor modalities and the results may be fused together to determine a final fused localization result.

A material includes a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers including an alternation of three functional silver-based metallic layers. This material makes it possible to obtain a multiple glazing having good thermal performance results, in particular a selectivity greater than 2, excellent color neutrality and low optical sensitivity.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, which includes a separation step and has a high yield, is provided. A metal layer is formed over a substrate, fluorine is supplied to the metal layer, and the metal layer is then oxidized, whereby a metal compound layer is formed. A functional layer is formed over the metal compound layer, heat treatment is performed on the metal compound layer, and the functional layer is separated from the substrate with use of the metal compound layer. By performing first plasma treatment using a gas containing fluorine, fluorine can be supplied to the metal layer. By performing second plasma treatment using a gas containing oxygen, the metal layer supplied with fluorine can be oxidized.
