Patent number: 11174667Abstract: A laminated glass retention system for securing a laminated glass subassembly within a window sash or frame member or door panel or similar component includes a retention member applied to the laminated glass subassembly. The retention member generally can include a leg portion that engages of the laminated glass subassembly, and can further include a base portion that is coupled to the frame member in which the laminated glass subassembly is seated. The retention member helps retain the insulating glass subassembly within its frame member when subjected to high winds and wind-borne debris.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Andersen CorporationInventors: David J. Weiss, Clifford W. MacDonald, Loren M. Jacot, Joseph Guy Reithmeyer, James C. Guhl, Duane Fier, Scott Thom

Patent number: 11149969Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to controlled low humidity storage devices and related methods. In an embodiment, the device can include a housing defining a storage compartment and an access aperture with a door. The device can include a dry gas supply system in fluid communication with the storage compartment configured to deliver low humidity gas to the storage compartment. The device can also include a control unit in electrical communication with the dry gas supply system. The device can also include a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure differential between the inside of the storage compartment and the ambient environment, the pressure sensor in electronic communication with the control unit. The control unit can be configured to initiate delivery of low humidity gas from the dry gas supply system in response to a signal received from the pressure sensor. Other embodiments are also included herein.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Andersen CorporationInventors: Philip Brand, Scott Thom, Kevin Alex Nelson, Mitchell Hunt

Patent number: 9567045Abstract: For a self-powered marine lifting vessel or catamaran having static buoyancy, a working deck is forcibly raised or lowered by flexing or extending each of a plurality of articulated pairs of fixedly mounted support beams connecting each hull and the deck. One version uses locally applied forces at the joints from adjacent hydraulic cylinders, incidentally causing the hulls to rotate about their axes. Another version forces the hulls to rotate axially from a non-rotating aft inter-hull linkage. Applications include routine harbor maintenance and hull cleaning, then emergency marine pollution including oil cleanup at a polluted site.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Inventors: Donald Scott Thom, Norman Clifford Smith
