  • Patent number: 11691482
    Abstract: A vehicular rear window assembly includes a window panel comprising an inner side and an outer side. A spoiler includes (i) a base portion that is adhesively attached at and along an upper region of the outer side of the window panel and (ii) a cover portion that is attached at the base portion. The vehicular rear window assembly, with the spoiler adhesively attached at and along the upper region of the outer side of the window panel, is configured for mounting at a rear portion of a cabin of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230174434
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal-halide composite, articles comprising a metal-halide composite and method of making and using same. The metal-halide matrix materials used in such composite have the desired properties of high thermal conductivity, resistance to thermal induced microstructural changes, and ease of use. As a result, they permit the fabrication of higher performance cryogenic magnets, motors, generators, and cables. Additionally, they permit the fabrication of plate reinforced composites that are useful in lightweight armor and other articles. Additionally, an optoelectronic composite could be built depending on the choice of metal-halide matrix and reinforcement.
