A vehicle window with an anisotropic light sensor, has a first glass layer and a second glass layer, wherein an arrangement of light-sensitive elements is arranged, substantially parallel to the first glass layer, between the first glass layer and the second glass layer, wherein the pane furthermore has an aperture such that light can shine through the second glass layer and the aperture onto at least one of the light-sensitive elements, wherein, depending on the direction of incident light, the sensor provides a signal that is indicative of the direction, wherein the arrangement of light-sensitive elements has a camera chip and wherein the arrangement of light-sensitive elements is arranged on a flexible film.

A laminated glazing includes an outer sheet of clear glass and an inner sheet of clear glass, which are joined to one another by an interlayer of plastic, includes the succession of the following elements, from the inside to the outside of the glazing: the inner sheet of clear glass, a stack of layers reflecting infrared radiation between 780 nm and 2500 nm, the interlayer including successively a) a first thin sheet including a layer of a polymer compound or of a varnish, the polymer compound or the varnish including a dye, the dye absorbing substantially all of the light within the visible region and being substantially transparent to the infrared, b) a second thin sheet of an untinted plastic, the outer sheet of clear glass.

The present invention is directed to packaging films comprising a coextruded film having alternating individual layers of glass and plastic. These packaging films may be used for flexible food and pharmaceutical packaging. These packaging films provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier protection while having superior flexibility.

A laminated glazing for a head-up display (HUD). The laminated glazing has an outer glass pane and an inner glass pane, which are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The intermediate layer in the vertical course (C) between a lower edge L and the upper U edge of the laminated glazing is variable at least in sections between two virtual points P1 and P2 taken along the vertical course (C). The calculated surface area (S) surrounded a straight line connecting a first value V1 defined by a position (d(1)) and a thickness (Tk(1)) of the virtual point P1 and the last value V2 defined by a position (d(2)) and a thickness (Tk(2)) of the virtual point P2 is above 10.000 mm×μm.

A window unit including a glazing panel, a frame which has a frame profile and encompasses the edge of the glazing panel on at least one peripheral side and includes a plastic primary part, with the primary part having at least 10% in weight of recycled material.

A laminated glazing includes a first transparent sheet intended, in the mounting position of the glazing, to constitute the exterior face thereof, a second transparent sheet bonded to the first by an adhesive interlayer, a heating layer supplied with electric current by leads positioned at the periphery of the glazing, and a mask also positioned at the periphery of the glazing between the first transparent sheet and the leads so as to hide the latter from view from the outside in the mounting position of the laminated glazing, wherein the heating layer and the mask are on the same plane of the laminated structure of the glazing.

Pressure sensitive adhesives and tapes having flame-retardant properties include a substrate layer and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the substrate layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive is a UV-cured composition of a curable composition. The curable composition includes a polymerizable (meth)acrylate-based mixture, a polymerizable aromatic (meth)acrylate oligomer, a liquid flame retarding agent, and at least one UV initiator. The UV-cured composition is an optically clear pressure sensitive adhesive with flame retarding properties.
