Publication number: 20220055943Abstract: Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Mark Kozlowski, Eric W. Kurman, Zhongchun Wang, Mike Scobey, Jeremy A. Dixon, Anshu A. Pradhan, Robert T. Rozbicki

Patent number: 8432603Abstract: Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from poor reliability and poor performance. Some of the difficulties result from inappropriate design and construction of the devices. In order to improve device reliability two layers of an electrochromic device, the counter electrode layer and the electrochromic layer, can each be fabricated to include defined amounts of lithium. Further, the electrochromic device may be subjected to a multistep thermochemical conditioning operation to improve performance. Additionally, careful choice of the materials and morphology of some components of the electrochromic device provides improvements in performance and reliability. In some devices, all layers of the device are entirely solid and inorganic.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: View, Inc.Inventors: Zhongchun Wang, Eric Kurman, Mark Kozlowski, Mike Scobey, Jeremy Dixon, Anshu Pradhan

Publication number: 20050006360Abstract: The present invention contemplates a machine and method for performing the laser sealing and laser cutting of flexible material into segments, such as a polymeric web in which the segments will ultimately be individual bags. The machine includes a generally cylindrical drum having openings on an exterior surface. A laser produces a laser beam that contacts the flexible material while the flexible material is being held on the drum. The drum is preferably comprised of drum sections that can be independently moved in the radial direction. The machine includes a cam system causing the drum sections to be sequentially moved in the radial direction. Typically, this radial movement is for the purpose of releasing the individual segments of the flexible material that have been cut by the laser.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2004Publication date: January 13, 2005Inventors: Ian Barclay, Michael McManus, Mark Kozlowski

Patent number: 5411346Abstract: A cutout is formed through a panel for providing a closed slot or channel surrounding a cleat having a tee shape, for receiving a midportion of a tie wrap inserted through the slot on one side of the panel to a position over a narrowed neck portion of the cleat, thereby permitting a component placed over the cleat on the one side of the panel to be secured thereto by tightening the tie wrap around both the cleat and the component, without requiring access to both sides of the panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1993Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: Siemens Stromberg-CarlsonInventor: Mark Kozlowski
