Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种以氮化钛为主之光学涂层,经由提供一损坏延迟基底层(16)介于氮化层(18)与基板(12)间,可提升该涂层之结构稳定性。此处该光学涂层系提供日光控制,氮化钛层主要被选用以达成预定光学特性,损坏延迟层之厚度主要被选择用以达成预定机械特性。灰金属层可减少氮化钛层裂缝的可能。此种氮化钛层之裂缝以及形成螺旋轨迹之倾向可藉下述方式进一步降低,经由将基板暴露于等离子前置辉光(88)及/或经由使用滑动剂(14)于该涂层欲形成之基板该侧上可进一步降低裂缝与形成螺旋轨迹之倾向。
Abstract:
A method of automatically mounting a sheet from a cutting table onto a spacer frame of an insulating glass unit begins with identifying a position and orientation of a specified sheet on the cutting table and moving a robotic sheet pickup apparatus to a corresponding position to that identified for the sheet. An edge of the specified sheet is lifted off of the table, beginning with mechanical suction that brings a corner of the sheet to within proximity of a primary vacuum suction of the pickup apparatus. In particular, the pickup apparatus may have a substantially planar platen with a set of channels coupled to a vacuum source. Once the sheet is fully picked up by vacuum suction, the sheet is laid upon a top surface of a tilt table, which can be simply the platen inverted. The table (or platen) is tilted to bring a corner of the sheet to abut against physical fences. Once the position and orientation of the sheet is so known, the sheet is oriented to correspond to a frame, and attached thereto.

Abstract:
A solar control member (50; 62; 70; and 90) for determining solar control for a window (52) includes an optically massive layer (58; 66; and 80) between an optically functional layer stack (60; 64; 76; and 86) and a titanium nitride layer (56; 68; 78; and 88). The optically massive layer has sufficient thickness to retard or prevent constructive and destructive interference of reflected light. The optically massive layer may be an adhesive, but also may be one or more polymeric substrates. The layer stack may be a Fabry-Perot interference filter. Also in the preferred embodiment, the titanium nitride layer is closer to the window (e.g., glass) than the layer stack.

Abstract:
A solar control member for determining solar control for a window includes an optically massive layer between a gray metal layer and a titanium nitride layer. The optically massive layer has sufficient thickness to retard or prevent constructive and destructive interference of reflected light. The optically massive layer may be an adhesive, but also may be one or more polymeric substrates. The gray metal layer is preferably nickel chromium, but other gray metal materials provide superior results as compared to the prior art. Also in the preferred embodiment, the titanium nitride layer is closer to the window (e.g., glass) than the gray metal layer.

Abstract:
The defect known as "applesauce" is eliminated from laminated glass structures which include an intermediate plastic film carrying an energy reflective layer by adhering this film to one of the glass sheets of the laminate with an adhesive layer which is less than 5 mils (0.127 mm) thick.
Abstract:
Localized heating of a window, such as a vehicle windshield or sidelight, is provided by dividing an optical coating that is electrically conductive into high and low heating zones. While the conductive coating covers substantially the entirety of the window, the coating is patterned to establish a preselected heating power density pattern. In one application, bus-to-bus dimensions are kept short and opposite polarity high heating zones are placed in a side-by-side relationship, so that the major portion of the window is left unheated and the bus connections may be placed along the same window edge. In another application, the bus-to-bus dimensions are significantly larger, but power concentration is provided by a pattern of isolation lines that narrow the dimensions of current flow through a zone in which heating is desired.
