  • Publication number: 20250110377
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11860500
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5514797
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5514796
    Abstract: 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%.
