Abstract: The present invention relates to variable optical transmission windows and window panels (VLTP) which are used for architectural applications such as building entryway systems and windows. The optical transmission of the VLTPs is reversibly changed by applying an electrical voltage. The emphasis is placed on doors which can be placed in the field without having certified technicians. The doors and windows having these VLTPs may also have other electronic devices which provide added user functionality.

Abstract: Energy efficient building windows with variable light transmission panels are disclosed. The focus is on low-cost solution in terms of the type of variable light transmission panels used, installation, maintenance and operation. The windows are not wired to building power sources and are self-regulating to provide energy efficiency, comfort, privacy, and several other useful attributes. The windows are powered by power sources such as solar cells located within each window. These windows can be linked wirelessly for communication. The principles of self-regulation, user interaction, and forming a wireless networks and their operation are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to variable optical transmission windows and window panels which are used for architectural applications, particularly in building entryway systems. This disclosure is directed to the use and powering of such panels in door and windows that, in part, physically open by manual or automatic sliding, tilting, pushing or rotating about the hinges, unless specifically mentioned otherwise. The doors may also have other electronic devices which provided added user functionality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to variable optical transmission windows and window panels (VLTP) which are used for architectural applications such as building entryway systems and windows. The optical transmission of the VLTPs is reversibly changed by applying an electrical voltage. This disclosure includes combination of more than one VLTP in a single window which darken to different colors. This disclosure is directed to the use and powering of such panels in door and windows. The doors and windows having these VLTPs may also have other electronic devices which provide added user functionality.
