  • Patent number: 9125247
    Abstract: A plastic window including a transparent plastic substrate having first and second sides. Bonded to the first side of the substrate is a plastic film, the film being thinner than the substrate. An electrically conductive grid, including at least one conductive connector location, is encapsulated between the substrate and the film. Extending into the substrate, at least one electrical connector is positioned in electrical contact with the conductive mounting so that an electrical voltage supply can be connected to the conductive mounting and an electrical current can be caused to flow through the conductive grid.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7977573
    Abstract: A cable-in-conduit-conductor (CICC) joint for use with a hybrid magnet. An elongate copper member is disposed in sandwiched relation between a first and second cable that are disposed in parallel, spaced apart relation to one another. A first elongate member is disposed in overlying relation to the first cable and a second elongate member is disposed in underlying relation to the second cable. All of the parts are positioned within a joint box, and the joint box is sandwiched between first and second flat plates that are interconnected to one another by elongate bolts. Tightening the bolts compresses the parts within the joint box. A heat treatment completes the solderless joint.
