Patent number: 12078906Abstract: Onboard EC window controllers are described. The controllers are configured in close proximity to the EC window, for example, within the IGU. The controller may be part of a window assembly, which includes an IGU having one or more EC panes, and thus does not have to be matched with the EC window, and installed, in the field. The window controllers described herein have a number of advantages because they are matched to the IGU containing one or more EC devices and their proximity to the EC panes of the window overcomes a number of problems associated with conventional controller configurations.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: View, Inc.Inventors: Dhairya Shrivastava, Anshu Ajit Pradhan, Stephen Clark Brown, David Walter Groechel, Robert Tad Rozbicki

Publication number: 20240045299Abstract: This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows. A smart window may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a window unit includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. A wire assembly may be attached to the edge of the insulated glass unit and may include wires in electrical communication with electrodes of the optically switchable pane. A floating connector may be attached to a distal end of the wire assembly. The floating connector may include a flange and a nose, with two holes in the flange for affixing the floating connector to a first frame. The nose may include a terminal face that present two exposed contacts of opposite polarity. Pre-wired spacers improve fabrication efficiency and seal integrity of insulated glass units. Electrical connection systems include those embedded in the secondary seal of the insulated glass unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Stephen Clark Brown, Dhairya Shrivastava, David Walter Groechel, Anshu Ajit Pradhan, Gordon Edmund Jack, Disha Mehtani, Robert Tad Rozbicki
