A flush-flush horizontal vehicle window assembly is provided that includes a sliding panel with guide pins, formed with a load-bearing shoulder, on sliding panel corners, and a frame defining a window opening. The frame is attached to two fixed panels. Upper/lower tracks are attached above/below the window opening. Each track has a leading and a trailing guide path formed through a surface of the respective tracks, where the pins partially project into the guide paths and where load-bearing shoulder surfaces smoothly and reliably slide on the track surfaces. Each leading guide path is “S” shaped and each trailing guide path is shaped in a perpendicular manner at one end, which causes the sliding panel to smoothly enter and seal the window opening in a flush manner. An aesthetically pleasing flush-flush slider results when the sliding panel is in the plane of the window opening and further in the plane of the outer vehicle body panel.
A vehicle slider assembly has a fixed panel (10, 11), with a window opening (13) defined therein. The panel has multiple drain holes (48a, 48b, 48c) that remove moisture inside a vehicle, at the window opening. The holes are located where adhesive (44a, 44b) between a lower track (16) and a frame (14) or between the track (16) and a glass surface (20') has not been applied. Alternately, holes (52a, 52b, 52c) may be formed in the lower track (16) to drain the moisture down an area of the glass surface or drain down an area of the frame member that is below the adhesive, which bonds the lower track to the glass panel /frame member. Further, the moisture may be drained through a hole in the frame member. Open cell foam, (62a, 62e) which may extend above the interior entrance of the holes, may be disposed in the holes to assist in draining moisture to the vehicle exterior while reducing noise from entering the vehicle.
A vehicle slider assembly has a frame, upon which a fixed panel and an upper and a lower track are attached, and a slider panel assembly that moves in the tracks. The frame defines a window opening that the moving slider panel assembly opens and closes. The interior surfaces of the frame provide constant sealing surfaces for seals attached to the outwardly directed slider panel surfaces. The lower horizontal portion of the frame is adjacent to the lower track and has drain holes through it. The lower track has a reservoir channel defined in it, such that, moisture that is interior to the vehicle slider assembly accumulates in the reservoir channel and flows through the drain holes to the exterior of the vehicle slider assembly. An appliqué may be disposed over the exterior of the lower frame portion so that the flow of the moisture is hidden in an unencumbered and aesthetically pleasing manner.
A multi-layer, low-emissivity, solar control article comprises a dielectric substrate, a first dielectric metal oxide layer deposited on the substrate, a first highly conductive, silver-free metal oxide layer deposited on the first dielectric metal oxide, and a second dielectric metal oxide deposited on the first highly conductive, silver-free metal oxide layer. The aforementioned coating layer sequence may be repeated as necessary to achieve the desired properties. An iridescence suppressing interlayer may, optionally, be utilized in connection with the low-emissivity, solar control coating.
A glass bending line for quickly shaping a complex bent glass sheet is provided that includes moving a ring-type female mold, which has a heated glass sheet placed on it, and a full face heated male mold, toward one another. Upon making shaping contact between the glass sheet and the male mold, a vacuum is applied through holes extending through the male mold, for a time sufficient to form the glass sheet to a desired shape. When the glass sheet has been shaped, the vacuum is terminated and pressurized air is connected to the holes to release the bent glass sheet from the male mold. The bent glass sheet is then quickly transported to a quenching station or an annealing station on a continuous conveying device. Hence, the complex bent glass sheet is achieved without the use of a shuttle ring.

The present invention relates to a rain sensor that adaptively functions in a variety of different modes when deployed on vehicle windows of different thicknesses and compositions. The arrangement of multiple lens segments and reflecting surfaces in a nonsequential configuration allows utilization of a greater proportion of light rays from the at least two emitters. Further, a greater portion of the light rays emitted by the at least two emitters is captured by the lens segments and reflectors arranged about at least two detectors, and directed to the detectors. Connection to analytical circuitry then allows interpretation of electrical signals, which in turn control, for example, window wiper systems.
A flush-flush horizontal vehicle window assembly (10) is provided that includes a sliding panel (20') with guide pins (22a-d), 'formed with a load-bearing shoulder (23a-c), and with a load-bearing shoulder surface (24a-d) on sliding panel corners, and a frame (14) defining a window opening (13). The frame is attached to two fixed panels (11, 12). Upper/lower tracks (15, 16) are attached above/below the window opening. Each track has a leading (28a, b) and a trailing guide (29a, b) path formed through a surface of the respective tracks, where the pins partially project into the guide paths and where load-bearing shoulder surfaces (24a-d) smoothly and reliably slide on the track surfaces. Each leading guide path (28a, b) is 'S' shaped and each trailing guide path (29a, b) is shaped in a perpendicular manner at one end, which causes the sliding panel (20') to smoothly enter and seal the window opening in a flush manner. An aesthetically pleasing flush-flush slider results when the sliding panel is in the plane of the window opening and further in the plane of the outer vehicle body panel.

A partial and a full drop vertical vehicle slider assembly are provided that do not require a horizontal beltline support member. For the partial drop assembly, two fixed panels each with a division member, an upper header member, and a horizontal vehicle body opening edge abut to form the slider panel opening. For the full drop assembly, an upper header member, two upper slider assembly side members, and a horizontal vehicle body opening edge abut one another to form a slider panel opening. In both cases, the horizontal vehicle body opening edges have seals attached, through which a slider panel vertically slides up and spans the vertical extent of the slider panel opening to close the slider assembly, and slides down into the vehicle body to open the slider panel opening. In the case of the full drop assembly, unimpaired backlite viewing is provided.
A CVD process is defined for producing a ruthenium dioxide or ruthenium metal like coating on an article. The article is preferably for use as an architectural glazing, and preferably has low emissivity and solar control properties. The method includes providing a heated glass substrate having a surface on which the coating is to be deposited. A ruthenium containing precursor, an oxygen containing compound, and optionally water vapor, in conjunction with an inert carrier gas, are directed toward and along the surface to be coated and the ruthenium containing precursor and the oxygen containing compound are reacted at or near the surface of the glass substrate to form a ruthenium dioxide coating.

Abrégé
A press bending station includes an annular mold (5) and a full-face mold (6). Holes (10), selectively connected to a negative pressure source, are placed in portions of the full-face mold (6) that are determined by the configuration of the annular mold when the annular mold comes into contact with a heated glass sheet (2) during the press bending process. The sheet (2) is drawn by negative pressure through the holes (10) towards the full-face mold (6) and thus acquires its shape. Positive pressure may be selectively applied to the holes (10) to release the sheet (2). According to the invention, at least some of the holes (10) are arranged in at least one groove (11) formed in the mold face of the full-face mold. The grooves (11) according to the invention accelerate considerably the removal by negative pressure of the air between the molding face of the full-face mold (6) and the glass sheet (2) to be bent and thus improve the press bending process.
