The present invention includes a method of making a slotted waveguide antenna structure with a matched ground plane comprising: forming in a photosensitive glass substrate a coaxial-to-coplanar waveguide (CPW) section connected to a power divider, an emission cavity area for the slotted antenna and one or more vias; depositing a metal ground plane to a first surface of the photosensitive glass substrate; depositing a copper layer on the photosensitive glass substrate with a pattern of slots that form a slot antenna above the emission cavity; forming one or more glass pillars in the emission cavity under the slot antenna; etching away the photosensitive glass in the emission cavity while retaining the one or more glass pillars; connecting a micro coaxial connector to the coaxial-to-coplanar waveguide (CPW) section; and one or more solder bumps at the vias that connect to the ground plane, to form a slotted antenna.

A method and an apparatus for embossing a pattern into a varnish on a sheet-like substrate are provided. The method applies a planar stamp using a roller, while the apparatus includes a roller having a planar stamp.

Described herein are apparatuses and methods for holding a substrate in a position that minimizes particle contamination of the substrate when the substrate is being coated. Along with the apparatus, processes for reducing particle reduction on substrates are provided. The articles and processes described herein are useful in making coated glass substrates, such as used in electrochromic, photochromic, or photovoltaic technologies.

Provided is a laminate that includes a water absorbing layer (B), an antireflective function-imparting layer (C) and a hydrophilic layer (A) provided in this order on a substrate, wherein the hydrophilic layer (A) is formed of a crosslinked resin having an anionic, cationic or nonionic hydrophilic group, and has a gradient of hydrophilic groups (intensity of hydrophilic group on surface of the hydrophilic layer (A)/intensity of hydrophilic group at ½ of thickness of the hydrophilic layer (A)) of not less than 1.1; the water absorbing layer (B) is formed of a crosslinked resin having a water absorption rate per unit mass (g) of in the range of 5 to 500 wt %; and the refractive index of a layer forming the layer (C) satisfies a specific condition. The laminate can provide higher antifogging properties and antireflective properties.

A glass composite includes a first glass member and a second glass member. The first glass member and the second glass member are at least partially connected with each other at the surfaces. The glass composite has a light transmittance not lower than 95% of the light transmittance of the one, with the lower light transmittance, of the first glass member and the second glass member.

A glass article includes a glass substrate, a colored film formed on one of main surfaces of the glass substrate, an uncoated portion where no colored film is formed which is present in part of the one of main surfaces or on an edge face of the glass substrate, a boundary between the colored film and the uncoated portion, and a film thickness varying portion where the colored film gradually tapers in thickness toward the boundary. The uncoated portion is visible in the glass article used as a window, the glass substrate has an absorbance in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm of 0.10 or lower per mm of thickness, and the glass article has a portion blue in color, gray in color, or pink in color where the colored film is formed.

A method of manufacturing a coated glass pane comprising the following steps in sequence a) providing a glass substrate, b) depositing by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at least one CVD coating on a surface of the glass substrate using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as a precursor, and c) depositing by physical vapour deposition (PVD) at least one PVD coating on said at least one CVD coating.

A glass composite includes a first glass member and a second glass member. The first glass member and the second glass member are at least partially connected with each other at the surfaces, and a contact interface is formed on the contacting position of the first glass member and the second glass member. The contact interface is visually observed to have no crevices; and when the glass composite is in contact with an acid solution, crevices are suitably formed in the glass composite at the contact interface.

A method for manufacturing a bent substrate, having a masking step of forming a masking member (M) on a bent substrate (10) and forming a predetermined pattern, and a printing step of forming a print layer (P) on a surface to be printed of the bent substrate (10) including the masking member (M).
