An attachment device that suppresses a decrease in the detection accuracy of a sensor. This attachment device is designed to attach a sensor to one surface side of a transmission plate such that the sensor can detect a transmitted wave transmitted from the other surface side.

The present invention provides a windshield on which an information acquisition device that acquires information from outside of a vehicle by emitting and/or receiving light is disposable, the windshield including: a glass plate; and a heating wire that is provided on the glass plate and to which a current is applied. The glass plate includes at least one information acquisition region that faces the information acquisition device and through which the light passes, the heating wire includes a plurality of linear main body portions that pass through at least the information acquisition region and a linear linking portion for linking the plurality of main body portions, and at least one of the linking portions includes a heat generation suppressing means for suppressing heat generation when a current is applied.

A heater assembly for an aerosol generating device includes a flexible heating element; a temperature sensor; and a flexible dielectric backing film with an adhesive on a surface of the flexible dielectric backing film, wherein the temperature sensor and the flexible heating element are supported adjacent to each other on the adhesive on the surface of the flexible backing film. The heater assembly allows for a more precise measurement of the heater temperature to be obtained while simplifying the assembly process.

A control device for a vehicle heater includes: a camera; a heater configured to heat a portion of the window glass located in front of the camera; a temperature sensor configured to acquire a camera temperature; an illuminance acquisition unit configured to acquire an illuminance outside the vehicle; and a control unit configured to determine that a control prohibition condition to prohibit execution of the heater energization control is satisfied when the camera temperature is equal to or larger than a prohibition threshold temperature, execute the heater energization control when execution of the heater energization control is requested, prevent execution of the heater energization control when the control prohibition condition is satisfied, and when the illuminance is lower than a threshold illuminance, set the prohibition threshold temperature to be lower than when the illuminance is equal to or larger than the threshold illuminance.

A window glass for a vehicle includes a glass plate; and a conductor placed on a surface of the glass plate. The conductor includes a conductive film and a strip electrode for applying a DC voltage to the conductive film. The strip electrode is formed to have a gap between the strip electrode and an outer edge of the conductive film, and is positioned between the outer edge of the conductive film and an outer edge of the glass plate in a plan view of the glass plate. The window glass for the vehicle includes a terminal part for electrically connecting the strip electrode to a transmission line.

An apparatus for removing at least one portion of at least one coating system present in a multi-glazed window that includes at least two glass panels alternatively separated by at least one interlayer and forming multiple interfaces. The apparatus includes a decoating device with a laser source that generates a laser beam having a specific direction. The decoating device further includes an orientation means configured to control the direction of the laser beam.

An improved apparatus for removing at least one portion of at least one coating system present in a multi-glazed window including at least two glass panels alternatively separated by at least one interlayer and forming multiple interfaces; the apparatus includes a decoating device including a laser source that generates a laser beam having a specific direction and two motors configured to displace the decoating device along a plane P, defined by a longitudinal axis X and a transversal axis Y, the decoating device further includes an orientation means to control the direction of the laser beam.

An antenna with a heater and method for using the same are disclosed. The antenna may comprise: an antenna aperture having a plurality of radio-frequency radiating antenna elements, the antenna aperture having a ground plane and a material for tuning permittivity or capacitance; and a heater structure in thermal contact with the material.

An electrically heatable antenna pane includes a transparent pane and an electrical heating layer extending over a portion of a pane surface. The pane serves at least section-wise as a planar antenna for receiving and/or transmitting electromagnetic waves. A first busbar and a second busbar electrically connectable to a voltage source and electrically conductingly connected to the heating layer are also described.

Methods and devices for producing a composite pane having a functional coating are presented. The functional coating is applied to part of a surface of a base pane, and a first pane is cut out from the base pane while introducing a frame-shaped peripheral coating-free region into the functional coating having an inner region that is not adjacent a side edge of the first pane. The surface of the first pane with the functional coating is then bonded via a thermoplastic intermediate layer to a surface of a second pane.
