Abstract

The present invention provides a method for state switching of a switchable glass to resolve the time delay in switching conventional switchable glass from a hazy state to a transparent state. The method includes a transparency stage, an operation stage and a state switching stage. In the transparency stage, no voltage is applied to the switchable glass and the switchable glass is in a transparent state. In the operation stage, an alternating current is applied to the switchable glass, with an amplitude of the alternating current maintained at a first voltage, and the switchable glass is in a scattering state. In the state switching stage, the amplitude of the alternating current is raised to a second voltage after the operation stage, with the second voltage greater than the first voltage, and the switchable glass maintains in the scattering state. An application of the alternating current is stopped after the state switching stage is maintained for a duration to return to the transparency stage, and the switchable glass is restored to the transparent state.

Abstract

A coated article having a coating system comprising a layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC), a metallic, single or multilayer release coating and an oxygen barrier layer. The metallic, single or multilayer release coating comprises one or more layers of silver or silver containing metal alloys, or one or more layers of copper or copper containing metal alloys. The silver or copper comprised in the coating system are advantageous as they do not react with the underlying DLC layer and are sufficient to be provided as thin layers to protect the underlying DLC layer during heat treatment rendering the heat-treated coated article scratch resistant comprising the DLC layer and optionally one or more ion diffusion layers between the glass substrate and the DLC layer. The coating has good mechanical stability and good ageing resistance before heat treatment. The release layer and oxygen barrier layers can easily be removed after heat treatment. Thus, a DLC coating of exceptional quality and high scratch resistance is obtained.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a glazing handling system (1) comprising a support structure (10) carrying a support base (20), characterised in that the support base comprises movement means (22) for allowing the glazing to be rotatably moved when the glazing is laid flat, the movement means having a resistive force whose value allows the movement means to be rotated when a translational force that is larger than the resistive force in terms of strength is applied to the glazing, the resistive force also being large enough to keep the glazing sufficiently stable on the movement means when the only force applied to the glazing is its own weight.
