  • Heated vehicle sliding window assembly
    Patent number: 9894717
    Abstract: A heated vehicle sliding window assembly has a fixed glass panel with an opening formed in it and a slidably movable glass panel capable of closing the opening. Disposed on the fixed glass panel are electrically conductive grid lines that form two grid resistors which are connected together as a series circuit, which is connected between two electrically conductive bus bars deposited on the fixed glass panel. Disposed on the slidably movable glass panel are electrically conductive grid lines that form a third grid resistor, which is connected between two other electrically conductive bus bars disposed on the movable glass panel. Both sets of electrically conductive bus bars may be connected together as a parallel circuit when the opening is either opened or closed by the movable glass panel.

  • APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A LIQUID MATERIAL TO GLASS AND METHOD OF USING SAME
    Publication number: 20130108797
    Abstract: An applicator is capable of being used manually, or as a component of an automated system, to simultaneously apply a liquid material, such as an adhesive or an adhesion-promoting primer, to a peripheral portion of a major surface of a vehicle window and to a corresponding portion of the substantially perpendicular edge of the vehicle window. A method of using the applicator is also provided.
