  • Method of making a window assembly having an electrically heated portion and the window assembly made thereby
    Patent number: 10960609
    Abstract: A method of making a window assembly having an electrically heated portion includes providing a glass pane having a major surface. An electrically conductive material is disposed over at least a portion of the major surface of the glass pane. One or more wire assemblies are attached to the electrically conductive material. A light curable potting material is disposed over the one or more wire assemblies. The potting material covers a portion of each of the one or more wire assemblies and adheres to a portion of the major surface of the glass pane. The light curable potting material flows over the one or more electrical wire assemblies and the major surface of the glass pane such that in 1 minute or less the light curable potting material has an outer surface that is in a parallel relationship with the major surface of the glass pane.
