Abstract: A modular fenestration system includes a collection of standardized functional units such as double hung window units, casement window units, picture window units, transom units, and the like. The functional units all share common sightlines, common glass set-back, common interfaces, common design language, and are sized according to a unique modular or incremental sizing grid. The sizing grid specifies individual window units in terms of the rough opening size in which they are designed to be installed. Individual functional units are easily combinable in a vast array of combinations to create a large number of possible composite window units. The above attributes of the functional units ensures that the composite window units are architecturally pleasing and appear as though they were custom crafted.

Abstract: A window assembly includes a window frame defining a frame perimeter and at least one window mounted in the frame. A media panel incorporating a video display is associated with the window assembly and can be moved selectively into the frame perimeter for displaying video information and out of the frame perimeter for storage when not in use. A motorized transport mechanism is coupled to the media panel for selectively and automatically moving the media panel between its storage and operational positions.

Abstract: A media window system includes a window unit having a window frame defining a frame perimeter and a glass unit located within the frame perimeter. The window unit includes a display area adapted to receive a display image. A display image source is configured to project an image onto the display surface. The window unit also includes a speaker element disposed on the window. The display are of the window unit is capable of transforming from a first transparent state to a second increased opacity state for receiving the display image.

Abstract: A window is mounted in a wall between two adjacent rooms. The window has at least one suspended particle device glass pane that can be switched from a clear window mode to a partially reflective, partially translucent screen mode. A video image, such as a television program, can be projected onto the pane in its screen mode and is simultaneously viewable from either side of the pane and thus either of the two adjacent rooms. The window allows a parent in a kitchen, for example, to view continuously the programs children in an adjacent den are watching without physically leaving the kitchen to visit the den. The window screen provides dual room video program viewability without requiring multiple television sets.
