  • Patent number: 8393120
    Abstract: The present invention provides a skylight frame design that is adapted to receive at least two panels of glass. The skylight frame comprises a stepped frame section that includes a lower step surface and an upper step surface. The lower step surface is adapted to receive a first glass panel so that a section of the first glass panel lies flush against the lower step surface. Similarly, the upper step surface is adapted to receive a second glass panel so that the second glass panel lies flush against the upper step surface. The skylight frame design of the invention is either incorporated into a skylight frame that may be attached to a curb unit on a roof or it may be an integral part of a skylight frame-curb assembly that also contains a curb section.

  • Patent number: 6946628
    Abstract: A method for making a heating element adhered to a substrate by applying a photocurable composition to a flexible substrate in a pattern having one or more grid lines is provided. The photocurable composition is curable into an electrically conductive layer and volatile organic compounds are present in an amount of less than about 10% total weight of the photocurable composition. After the pattern is deposited on the substrate is cured by illuminating the photocurable composition with light for a sufficient period of time to cure the photocurable composition. Heating elements made by the method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5352505
    Abstract: A plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method is provided for depositing an oxide film onto a substrate surface. Deposition is achieved even onto a surface of a glass or other relatively non-receptive substrate. A sub-film is deposited under plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition conditions more strongly favoring deposition, followed by deposition of the desired oxide film under second plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition conditions less strongly favoring deposition. High quality oxide films can be achieved by deposition at second plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition conditions only marginally favoring deposition over etching.

  • Patent number: 5324537
    Abstract: The procsses disclosed is for preparing a film of fluorine-modified tungsten oxide on a substrate. The process comprises providing a tungsten oxide film on the substrate and then exposing the tungsten oxide film at an elevated temperature to a stream of a gaseous fluorocarbon. The exposure takes place for a time sufficient to modify the tungsten oxide with fluorine and form a film having modified infrared adsorption and reflectant properties.

  • Patent number: 5271960
    Abstract: Glazing article comprises a substrate bearing a substantially transparent coating comprising an optically functional layer and a thinner anti-iridescence layer undercoat mediate the optically functional layer and the substrate. The anti-iridescence layer eliminates or substantially reduces iridescence and, in addition, is readily designed to make the overall coating colorless or to provide a substantially uniform, muted color. The anti-iridescence layer comprises a high refractive index zone on the substrate, having a refractive index higher than that of the substrate. Multiple gradient step zones are stacked on the high refractive index zone, including a low refractive index zone. A second gradient step zone having a refractive index higher than that of the first gradient step zone is positioned on the low refractive index zone, such that the low refractive index zone is directly sandwiched between the two higher refractive index zones.
