Abstract: Curved, insulated glazing structures and their preparation are disclosed. The glazing structures comprise two rigid outer surfaces (generally glass) and a suspended inner film surface parallel to the outer surfaces. The inner film is adhered to the outer surfaces only on its curved edges-its straight edges being unattached. The inner film is generally heat shrunk in the direction parallel to the straight edges and preferably carries a heat reflective coating.

Abstract: Apparatus for sputter depositing a layer of metal onto a laterally extended substrate includes a substrate support, a deposition station, a downstream sensing assembly and a computerized controller. The deposition station includes a cathode and anodes extending the width of the substrate. Gas supply is provided to each of a plurality of zones through a common distribution chamber with a plurality of inlets which in combination cover the width of the substrate on which a thin film layer is to be deposited. The gas flow is directed through each anode into the plasma region and is individually controlled for each zone. The downstream sensing assembly includes, for each zone, a four-point contact assembly usign four electrically conductive wheels. Two of the wheels are used to apply current to the thin film and two are used to sense the resistance of it. This information is fed into the computer for use in controlling the gas flow into the deposition station, by zone.

Abstract: A plasma display filter is formed to include an alternating pattern (12) of infrared blocking layers (22, 24 and 26) and ZTO (zinc oxide/tin oxide) dielectric layers (14, 16, 18 and 20). In one embodiment, the alternating pattern comprises four ZTO dielectric layers and three infrared blocking layers. Benefits of the plasma display filter are enhanced if the ZTO dielectric layers are sputter deposited in an environment which is intentionally hydrogenated. As another possible enhancement, a sacrificial layer or glue layer may be deposited over the infrared blocking layers prior to formation of the subsequent ZTO dielectric layer, so as to protect the underlying layer during formation of the ZTO dielectric layer. Suitable materials include titanium and nichrome. The chemical durability of the ZTO dielectric layers enables the omission of the conventional protective overcoat layer (28), if desired.

Abstract: In a method of forming micro traces (64; 110, 112 and 114; and 409), stamping techniques are employed to define a target pattern of the micro traces. The stamping is applied to electrically conductive material (405; 700) and may be limited to pressure, but a thermal stamping approach may be utilized. Following the stamping, a portion of the conductive material is removed (305), leaving the target pattern of conductive micro traces. In the pressure-application step, the pressure or the combination of pressure and temperature is sufficient to at least weaken the integrity of the bulk conductive material along the area of contact. Typically, this step causes shearing of the conductive material. Following the pressure-application step, excess conductive material is removed. In some embodiments of the invention, the thickness of the micro traces is not determined in a single step. The original thickness may be formed using a "seed" material (104). The subsequent material buildup (108) may occur after the target pattern is established.

Abstract translation: 在形成微迹线（64; 110,112和114;和409）的方法中，使用冲压技术来定义微迹线的目标图案。 冲压被应用于导电材料（405,700），并且可以被限制到压力，但是可以利用热冲压方法。 在冲压之后，去除导电材料的一部分（305），留下导电微迹线的目标图案。 在压力施加步骤中，压力或压力和温度的组合足以至少削弱沿着接触区域的体导电材料的完整性。 通常，该步骤导致导电材料的剪切。 在压力施加步骤之后，除去过量的导电材料。 在本发明的一些实施例中，微迹线的厚度在单个步骤中未确定。 原始厚度可以使用“种子”材料（104）形成。 随后的材料积累（108）可以在目标图案建立之后发生。

Abstract: An optical filter is formed of a layer stack that includes metallic layers (106, 107, 108 and 109) and dielectric layers (101 , 102, 103, 104 and 105), with at least one dielectric layer being defined by more than one zinc-based film (112, 114, 118 and 120). These zinc-based films have different percentages of zinc. The selections of the percentages are based upon the positions of the films within the dielectric layer. An unexpectedly low sheet resistance is available if the zinc-based film that immediately precedes forming a metallic layer has a percentage of zinc in the range of 80 percent to 100 percent. Process stabilization and manufacturing cost are provided by placing the percentage of the lower zinc-based film closer to 50 percent (25-75 percent). Process stabilization is further enhanced by providing an indium-based film (110 and 116) within the dielectric layer adjacent to the metallic layer.
