Publication number: 20250110377Abstract: A system with one or more smart glass units is provided. The system includes a smart glass unit and a controller. The controller is configured to send, using one or more wires, a tint signal to the smart glass unit to control a tint level of the smart glass unit. The controller is also configured to send, using the same one or more wires, a detection signal, independent of the tint signal, to the smart glass unit for determining a location of the smart glass unit via at least one of an electric field coupling or a magnetic field coupling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: SAGE Electrochromics, Inc.Inventors: Bryan D. Greer, David Best, David Ryan Buszmann, Nicholas Iverson

Patent number: 11860500Abstract: An integrated computerized control system is capable of automating phases of electrochromic glass configuration, commissioning and control using a database synchronized between a provider side (e.g. manufacturer) and a customer side (e.g. installation location). The control system may support an on-site commissioning process that better ensures that each particular piece of electrochromic glass is correctly matched to glass-specific information used to configure a respective controller to control the particular piece of glass having particular characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: SAGE Electrochromics, Inc.Inventors: Troy Liebl, David Best, Sean Kioski

Patent number: 5514797Abstract: A method of purifying melamine produced from urea in a high-pressure, non-catalytic, non-aqueous process is described. In the method impure melamine is heated to a temperature of from about 250.degree. to about 1000.degree. F. under a pressure from about 600 to 3000 psi in the presence of ammonia to provide melamine having a purity of 99.0% or above. The method is economical since chemical treatment and recrystallization steps are not required.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Melamine Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: David Best, Amit Gupta

Patent number: 5514796Abstract: A high-pressure, non-catalytic process for producing melamine from urea wherein the melamine is recovered directly as a dry powder without washing or recrystallization is described. In the process, liquid melamine is fed to a cooling unit where it is quenched with a liquid medium, preferably liquid ammonia. By increasing the pressure within the cooling unit to a pressure in excess of 600 psi and preferably to 1200 to 1400 psi provides melamine having a purity in excess of 99%.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Melamine Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: David Best, Amit Gupta
