PROCESS OF DETERMINATION OF A PERCENTAGE OF GLASS SURFACE TO TREAT AND ASSOCIATED MOBILE APPLICATION
The invention relates to a process of determination of a percentage of glass surface to treat (Ds) with a decoating process in a defined enclosed space in order to reach a predetermined level of electromagnetic reception and/or transmission (La) at a predetermined frequency (Fo), using a database (14). Said process comprises the following steps: measurement (101) of the inside and/or outside electromagnetic signal amplitude (So); calculation (104) of an expected attenuation level (Ta); identification (105), in said database (14), of reference percentages of treated surface (Ds_ref) where the corresponding reference attenuation levels are inferior or equal to said expected attenuation level (Ta); determination (106) of a percentage of glass surface to treat (Ds) in said defined enclosed space corresponding to the identified reference percentage of treated surface (Ds_ref) where the corresponding reference attenuation level is minimum.
The invention relates to a coated glass sheet comprising a glass substrate and on at least one major surface of the glass substrate a UV reflecting coating, wherein the UV reflecting coating comprises at least first, second, and third layers in this order moving away from the glass substrate, and wherein the first and third layers comprise a dielectric material chosen among a mixed oxide of titanium and zirconium, or a mixed nitride of zirconium and silicon and the second layer comprises silicon oxide SiOx.
