  • Publication number: 20240140860
    Abstract: A method of tinting or coloring glass. The following layers are deposited onto the glass: a first dielectric layer, a subcritical metallic layer; a primer layer; and a second dielectric layer. Alternatively, these layers may be deposited onto the glass: a first dielectric layer, a subcritical metallic layer; and a second dielectric layer. Alternatively, the invention is a coated article that includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, an absorbing layer, and a second dielectric layer over the primer layer. The absorbing layer can be Inconel, titanium nitride, cobalt chrome (stellite), or nickel chrome material, and has a thickness in the range of 50 ? to 150 ?.

  • Publication number: 20230274854
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. In one embodiment, the cables are configured with elastomeric cabling and circuitry. For example, a flexible circuit line (or lines) may be wrapped about an extruded elastomeric substrate (e.g., a polymer). Integrated circuits (e.g., sensors, accelerometers, light emitting diodes, controllers, microprocessors, etc.) may be disposed at various points along the circuit line(s). The cable may then be wrapped with a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape than can be heated to shrink about the cable for protection of the underlying circuitry. Then, the cable may be surrounded with a layer of polymer and extruded to form an elastomeric and flexible cable.

  • Patent number: 10090587
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. One cable includes a first insulator extruded as a tube. The cable also includes an elastomeric conductor comprising conductive particles embedded in a polymer. The elastomeric conductor is extruded with the elastomeric insulator through a conduit of the tube. Other cables include flexible wires extruded with elastomeric tubes. In some embodiments, the cables are configured with stay cords that limit a length of stretching in the cable.
