Patent number: 8486213Abstract: A method of making a composite light diffusing panel including at least spaced apart lites with a fabric layer applied to an inner surface of at least one of said lites, involves applying a transparent adhesive to the layer of fabric or the lite(s), firmly applying the layer of fabric onto the lite(s) to avoid wrinkling fabric, curing the adhesive to bond the fabric to the lite(s), and assembling the lites to form the light diffusing panel. In this way, a functionally useful product can be obtained that does not suffer from wrinkling and other distracting effects.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Advanced Glazing Technologies Limited (AGTL)Inventor: Douglas I. Milburn

Patent number: 8110258Abstract: A glazing unit has a at least one self-supporting insert of light-transmissive insulation material in the form of honeycomb arrangement of cells sandwiched in a gap between a pair of glass lites. A granular, light-transmissive, thermally insulating filler, such as silica aerogel, substantially fills the cells.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2005Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Advanced Glazing Technologies Limited (AGTL)Inventor: Douglas Milburn

Patent number: 7540119Abstract: A point-supported cladding system for finishing the exterior of a building or like structure has a plurality of like rigid box-like glazed cladding units. Each cladding unit includes a rigid spacer frame bounding the cladding unit, a pair of parallel light-transmissive glass lites having a thickness of not more than about 9 mm mounted at their periphery on said rigid spacer frame by means of a resilient seal, and a plurality of first attachment elements provided at discrete attachment points on said cladding unit. The cladding unit is dimensioned and configured to have sufficient rigidity to maintain its structural integrity when supported only at the discrete attachment points. A plurality of complementary second attachment elements are provided for mounting on structural members of the building.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Advanced Glazing Technologies Limited (AGTL)Inventor: Doug Milburn
