A glass sheet semiconductor deposition system () for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof by a pair of conveyors () through a housing () including a vacuum chamber (). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles () through an entry load station () into the housing vacuum chamber (), through a heating station () and at least one semiconductor deposition station () in the housing (), and to a cooling station () prior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (). The semiconductor deposition station construction includes a deposition module () and a radiant heater () between which the vertical glass sheets are conveyed for the semiconductor deposition.

System for glass sheet semiconductor coating and resultant product

A system () and method for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof through a system () having a housing () including a vacuum chamber (). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles () through an entry load lock station () into the housing vacuum chamber (), through a heating station () and at least one deposition station () in the housing (), and to a cooling stationprior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (). The resultant semiconductor coated glass sheet (G) has tong marks (') formed during the coating processing.

Method for glass sheet semiconductor coating

A controlled zone defrosting system is provided for disbursing electrical energy, according to predetermined priorities, to a plurality of defrosting devices, formed of an electrically conductive glass coating material, in an automobile or the like. The defrosting devices could, for example, be effectively located to melt ice formed on such areas as the driver and passenger sides of a windshield, a rear window, etc. The disbursement of electrical energy may, in addition to being dependent on preselected priorities, be made dependent on a number of factors such as time, temperature and the remaining amount of energy. The electrical energy may be supplied by an associated automobile's battery, an independent battery, or an electrical energy generating mechanism such as a photovoltaic device. Available remaining electrical energy may be monitored and, as it is diminished, be disbursed only to zones given top priorities. If a photovoltaic device is used, electrical energy supplied thereby may be disbursed to maintain the charge of an associated battery.
