  • Publication number: 20120088042
    Abstract: A decorative architectural glass panel comprises a two or more glass sheets separated by a resin in which one or more decorative objects are suspended. A method of making the glass panel comprises positioning one or more spacers and one or more decorative objects on a first glass sheet, placing a second glass sheet about the first glass sheet, sealing the edges of the first glass sheet and second glass sheet, and filling the space between the first and second glass sheets with a curable liquid resin. The resin can be poured using a substantially horizontal pour in order to keep the decorative objects from substantially shifting when pouring the liquid resin. The resin can also be poured in combination with a vacuum force. In some implementations, the glass panel may also be substituted with a resin panel using polymeric resin sheets.

  • Patent number: 5024177
    Abstract: A stable and versatile wind sailing vessel for sailing over a water surface comprising first and second elongated and buoyant boards, each having a planar undersurface. An arching platform disengagably engages the boards in a spaced, side-by-side relationship and a centerboard centrally located on the platform between the boards, provides maneuverability. A windsurfing sail is pivotally mounted on the platform for propelling the vessel. The platform can be disengaged from the boards, allowing each of the boards to be sailed separately as a typical windsurfing vessel. The platform is modular and can be dissociated for compactness. Adjustable legs on the platform allow different degrees of inclination of the planar surfaces with the water surface for varying degrees of control. A mast stay device can be used to releasably keep the sail in an erect position despite blowing wind.
