A transparent pane having at least one heatable, electrically conductive coating is presented. Application of a supply voltage causes a heating current to flow over a heating field. The heating field contains at least one coating-free zone.

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 electrically heatable pane with a switch region is presented. The pane has a transparent substrate, with at least one transparent electrically conductive layer that is, at least partially, arranged on a surface of the pane. At least one separating line electrically divides the layer into a heating region and a switch region. At least two busbars are provided for connection to a voltage source. The busbars being connected to the heating region, form a current path between the busbars. A heating current can therefore flow through the current path. Furthermore, the switch region has at least one contact region, a feed line region, and a connection region, where the connection region can be connected to sensor electronics.

A pane with an electrical heating region is presented. The pane has a substantially trapezoidal first pane, an electrically conductive coating applied on part of a surface of the first pane, a substantially trapezoidal electrical heating region that is electrically divided from the electrically conductive coating by a separating line, and two collecting conductors connected to the electrically conductive coating in the electrical heating region.

A pane, having at least one first pane with an outer face and an inner face is described. The pane has at least one electrically conductive transparent coating which is arranged on the outer face and/or the inner face of the first pane, and at least two busbars which are provided for connecting to a voltage source and which are connected to the electrically conductive transparent coating such that a current path for a heating current is formed between the busbars. The electrically conductive transparent coating has at least three regions with decoated structures.

Disclosed are a transparent heating film and a heating glass including the transparent heating film. The transparent heating film includes a transparent supporting body, a conductive grid, and a penetration window. A side of the transparent supporting body is provided with a plurality of trenches interconnected to each other in a grid shape; the conductive grid is formed by filling the plurality of trenches with a conductive material; and the penetration window is located between and partitioned with the conductive grid. The penetration window located between the conductive grid may disrupt or weaken a shielding effect of the conductive grid, thereby facilitating penetration of a signal.

The disclosure provides a camera module, a monitoring system and a vehicle camera, the camera module includes a lens barrel, a first lens and a heating element, the lens barrel includes a light entrance, the first lens is disposed at the light entrance, the first lens includes an image side surface, the heating element directly acts on the image side surface to heat the first lens. By directly applying the heating element to the image side surface of the first lens, the heating element can directly transmit heat energy to the first lens, thereby achieving the effect of defogging and defrosting automatically.

A composite pane with an electrically heatable camera window, which includes, inside the camera window, a first electrically conductive transparent coating for heating the camera window, wherein the first electrically conductive transparent coating is arranged on the first surface of the inner pane inside the camera window and has two busbars provided for connection to a voltage source, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the camera window such that when an electrical voltage is applied to the busbars, a current flows through the first electrically conductive transparent coating.

The present disclosure relates to a ceramic susceptor. The ceramic susceptor of the present disclosure may include a ceramic plate having a heating element disposed thereon and at least one hole. The heating element may include a plurality of concentric circular patterns, each of the concentric circular patterns may include arc portions extending in a circumferential direction and a transverse portion interconnecting the arc portions, and among the arc portions of the plurality of concentric circular patterns, each of the arc portions, which face each other across the hole, may include, in a portion thereof, a protrusion protruding toward the hole.

An apparatus for making a beverage including an infusion chamber for a capsule containing a food substance, an insertion opening for inserting the capsule into the apparatus, a transfer channel for transferring the capsule from the insertion opening to the infusion chamber, an image acquisition device to acquire at least one image of a portion of the capsule. The image acquisition device includes an optical sensor facing an image capture zone in which, in use, said capsule is located or passes. A viewing window, made of transparent material, is interposed between the optical sensor and the image capture zone. A heating element for heating the viewing window is applied to, or incorporated in, the viewing window.
