Publication number: 20250144919Abstract: Methods of manufacturing electrochromic windows are described. An electrochromic device is fabricated to substantially cover a glass sheet, for example float glass, and a cutting pattern is defined based on one or more low-defectivity areas in the device from which one or more electrochromic panes are cut. Laser scribes and/or bus bars may be added prior to cutting the panes or after. Edge deletion can also be performed prior to or after cutting the electrochromic panes from the glass sheet. Insulated glass units (IGUs) are fabricated from the electrochromic panes and optionally one or more of the panes of the IGU are strengthened.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: View Operating CorporationInventors: Mark A. Collins, Ronald M. Parker, Robert T. Rozbicki, Dhairya Shrivastava

Patent number: 12260269Abstract: Disclosed are platforms for communicating among one or more otherwise independent systems involved in controlling functions of buildings or other sites having switchable optical devices deployed therein. Such independent systems include a window control system and one or more other independent systems such as systems that control residential home products (e.g., thermostats, smoke alarms, etc.), HVAC systems, security systems, lighting control systems, and the like. Together the systems control and/or monitor multiple features and/or products, including switchable windows and other infrastructure of a site, which may be a commercial, residential, or public site.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: View Operating CorporationInventors: Dhairya Shrivastava, Stephen Clark Brown, Ronald F. Cadet

Patent number: 12248225Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to systems for powering electrochromic windows in a building. Systems may include photovoltaic panels configured to generate electrical power, energy storage device(s) configured for storing generated power, and one or more controllers on a network of electrochromic windows that are configured to receive power from the energy storage device(s) and power tint transitions in one or more electrochromic windows. Systems may include various additional circuit components described herein for regulating and/or controlling the generation, storage, and application of electric power. The systems and techniques described herein can be used to design networks of electrochromic windows that are hybrid-solar or off-the-grid (“OTG”).Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2024Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: View Operating CorporationInventors: Brandon Dillan Tinianov, Dhairya Shrivastava, Stephen Clark Brown, Erich Robert Klawuhn

Patent number: 12240206Abstract: Methods are provided for fabricating electrochromic devices that mitigate formation of short circuits under a top bus bar without predetermining where top bus bars will be applied on the device. Devices fabricated using such methods may be deactivated under the top bus bar, or may include active material under the top bus bar. Methods of fabricating devices with active material under a top bus bar include depositing a modified top bus bar, fabricating self-healing layers in the electrochromic device, and modifying a top transparent conductive layer of the device prior to applying bus bars.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignees: View Operating Corporation, Corning IncorporatedInventors: Ronald M. Parker, Anshu Ajit Pradhan, Abhishek Anant Dixit, Douglas Samuel Dauson

Patent number: 12057220Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method of managing building wellness. The method may include the steps of: obtaining wellness parameters for a building (e.g., an office building) having an occupant(s); processing the wellness parameter to determine a current wellness index for the building and, based on the current wellness index, sending a message regarding the current wellness index to a recipient(s) (e.g., a building occupant), displaying the current wellness index for a user(s), and/or identifying a remediation action(s) to improve the current wellness index.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: View Operating CorporationInventors: Eric Schlameuss, Michael Aisner, Paul Rode, Greg Zimerman, Cory Gordon Clarke, Scott Rechler, Francis Pusinelli
