The present invention is directed to a method for preparing a coated optical article including providing a non-conductive substrate; forming a conductive coating layer over the substrate; electrodepositing a first electrodepositable coating composition over the conductive coating layer to form a first electrodeposited inorganic coating layer; and electrodepositing a second electrodepositable coating composition over the first electrodeposited coating layer to form a second electrodeposited inorganic coating layer thereover, thereby forming a multi-layer antireflective inorganic coating over the conductive coating layer. Each of the first electrodepositable coating composition and the second electrodepositable coating composition is different one from the other, and each includes a sol prepared from a composition of a metal oxide precursor and protic acid such that each coating composition is hydrolyzed. Coated optical articles are also provided.

A low-E (low emissivity) coating includes a multilayer overcoat designed for reducing fingerprints. The multilayer overcoat includes a layer comprising an oxide of zirconium (e.g., ZrO.sub.2) sandwiched between and contacting first and second layers of or including silicon nitride (e.g., Si.sub.3N.sub.4, SiO.sub.xN.sub.y, SiZrO.sub.xN.sub.y, or the like). The uppermost layer comprising silicon nitride modifies the surface energy of the layer comprising the oxide of zirconium so as to make the uppermost surface of the coating more hydrophilic, thereby reducing or minimizing interaction between zirconium oxide and finger oil to reduce fingerprints on the uppermost surface of the coating.

A material includes a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers I including a lower coating including at least one absorbent layer, a single silver-based functional metal layer and an upper coating including at least one dielectric layer. The absorbent layer is separated from the substrate and from the functional layer by one or more dielectric layers. The material, once fitted in a double glazing, makes it possible to obtain a high selectivity, in particular of greater than 1.45, an interior and exterior light reflection of less than 25% and bluish hues in exterior reflection and in interior reflection.

A material includes one or more transparent substrates comprising two main faces, wherein one of the faces of one of the substrates is coated with a functional coating which can have an effect on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation, and a face not coated with the functional coating of one of the substrates includes a reflective color-adjustment coating comprising at least one dielectric layer including a reflective dielectric layer with a thickness of between 2 and 100 nm, all the dielectric layers of the reflective color-adjustment coating have a thickness of less than 100 nm.

A spectacle lens having at least one antibacterial and/or antiviral coating and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The spectacle lens includes (i) an anti-reflective coating or (ii) a mirror coating. The (i) anti-reflective coating or the (ii) mirror coating are made from a stack or a plurality of stack layers. The stack has an outermost stack layer containing silver (Ag). The outermost stack layer further contains a SiO.sub.2-matrix having a plurality of separated silver (Ag) atoms and/or a plurality of silver (Ag) clusters. Each of the silver (Ag) clusters has a maximum expansion of less than 20 nm.

An end-to-end system for data generation, map creation using the generated data, and localization to the created map is disclosed. Mapstreams—or streams of sensor data, perception outputs from deep neural networks (DNNs), and/or relative trajectory data—corresponding 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 data—and ultimately a fused high definition (HD) map—that 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.
