Application 10/150,014
I. BACKGROUND
The invention relates to coated glass used in windshields and
windows. According to the Summary of the Invention, the coating includes
at least ten layers (a) through (j) comprised of specific compounds
(Specification 8:15-9:12). Further according to the Summary of the
Invention, layer (e) can be separated into two layers (e1) and (e2) and another
layer (m) imposed between them (Specification 10:3-8; fig. 1A). Other
layers may be added to the ten or twelve layer systems (Specification 28:10-
15). While the Summary of Invention identifies specific compounds for the
layers, the claims more generically identify some of the layers of the system.
Claim 11, to which the layer lettering of Summary of the Invention has been
added, is illustrative of the subject matter on appeal. In parentheses are the
specific compounds recited in the Summary of the Invention.
11. A coated article including a coating supported by a glass
substrate, the coating comprising from the glass substrate outwardly:
a) a first dielectric layer (tin oxide)
b) a layer comprising a metal oxide (titanium oxide or nickel
oxide)
c) a first layer comprising Ag
d) a first layer comprising an oxide of NiCr
e1) another layer comprising a metal oxide (tin oxide)
m) a layer comprising silicon nitride
e2) a layer comprising tin oxide
