  • Patent number: 9096031
    Abstract: A thermally broken hollow polycarbonate sheet or vessel for day-lighting or sky-lighting applications. The hollow polycarbonate sheet comprises of an internal cavity walls that are thermally broken by thermal breaks and, or, a continuous thermal break component. The hollow polycarbonate sheet is a two sheet component. The two sheets are connected by means of the thermal break or breaks. In another embodiment of the invention, the hollow sheet is a one part sheet. Panels can be connected in series.

  • Patent number: 8109051
    Abstract: An aftermarket application to improve the insulating properties of an existing window using vessels filled with nanotechnology insulating materials. Application does not impede users' ability to see through while minimizing heat transfer allowed through the window. The vessels can be customized by contractors and engineers to control range and direction of vision that viewers from the inside and outside can see.

  • Publication number: 20110206873
    Abstract: An improved insulated glass unit which contains vessels filled with nanotechnology insulating material for superior insulation. Vessels are arranged so that users will still be able to see through the unit without compromising on insulation. The shape and angles of the vessel can be used to determine the range of vision allowed for the user.
