The invention concerns a glazing comprising a first glass sheet having a surface; a printed layer on a part of the surface of the first glass sheet; a conductive coating on a part of the printed layer forming a coated print portion and on a part of the surface of the first glass sheet forming a coated glass portion; first and second busbars in electrical contact with the conductive coating and comprising a first or second busbar portion arranged on a different axis therefrom; a first printed layer portion adjacent the first or second busbar portion forming an adjustable coated print portion between the first and second busbars.

A glazing comprises first and second busbars for connection to an electrical supply; a third busbar between the first and second busbars; plural conductors electrically connected to the first busbar; wherein a first group of the conductors extends from the first busbar to the third busbar to form a first resistor; a second group of the conductors extends from a side of the third busbar facing the second busbar and is electrically connected to the second busbar to form a second resistor; fewer conductors extend from the side of the third busbar facing the second busbar than extend from a side of the third busbar facing the first busbar; at least one gap on one side of the third busbar opposite a conductor on the other side and an information acquisition area between the third busbar and the second busbar, the at least one gap being outside the information acquisition area.

An article includes a substrate and a resistance heating element bonded to the substrate. The resistance heating element is comprised of, by weight, 10 to 45% of graphene, 0.25 to 45% of carbon nanostructure (CNS) material different than the graphene, and a remainder of glass frit. The graphene and the CNS material include a coupling agent that bonds the graphene and the CNS material with at least the glass frit.
