  • Patent number: 9512666
    Abstract: An airflow reduction system includes an insulating panel assembly for sealing a window within a jamb. The insulating panel assembly has a frame configured to fit within the jamb and a glazing panel in the frame coated with a low-emissivity or solar control coating or film. The frame may include one or more cavities extending along its length. The assembly may also include a blind stop and/or a trim stop installed on either side of the frame within the jamb. A compressible seal around the external perimeter of the frame bears against the jamb to form a first barrier impeding the flow of air, and the blind stop or the trim stop forms a second barrier impeding the flow of air. Also disclosed is a mounting assembly including an insulating panel assembly and at least one bracket and a method of installing the same.

  • Patent number: 8097302
    Abstract: Tin oxide having high mobility and a low electron concentration, and methods for producing layers of the tin oxide layers on a substrate by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) are disclosed. The tin oxide may undoped polycrystalline n-type tin oxide or it may be doped polycrystalline p-type tin oxide. When the layer of tin oxide is formed on a crystalline substrate, substantially crystalline tin oxide is formed. Dopant precursors for producing doped p-type tin oxide are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080199618
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of strengthening brittle oxide pieces such as glass pieces with a siloxane-acrylate coating system that has superior weatherability, particularly hydrolytic stability. The coating system comprises a combination of a silane solution and a radiation-curable acrylate solution. The mixture is applied to a clean, brittle oxide surface. The silane solution comprises one or more silanes in a non-aqueous solvent and the radiation-curable acrylate solution comprises one or more acrylate or methacrylate monomers, acrylate or methacrylate oligomers, and initiators, such as photoinitiators.
