Patent number: 8112860Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a glazing panel from an inside location. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method of treating glazing panels used in windows and patio doors. Initially, a hole is formed on both inside and outside panes on windows and on the side and outside frames of patio doors. Next, a filter is attached to the outside pane to cover the hole whereby the filter membrane is designed to allow the passage of air and inhibit the ingress of moisture. Finally, a seal is used to cover the hole on the inside pane or to ensure that the building air does not enter the interior of the glazing panel. Where the panes are tempered glass, the hole(s) may be drilled through the frame. If necessary, one or more tubes may be inserted through the hole. Various kinds of filters are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Inventor: Stephen Collins

Patent number: 8079185Abstract: A window element has a cover pane which is substantially flush with an outer skin of an aircraft or other transport, achieving a fluid-dynamically favorable, substantially unbulged exterior surface. As a result of the presence of an additional back-ventilated cover pane arranged in front of the actual outer pane of the window element, a fluid-dynamically favorable integration of the window element into the outer skin of an aircraft fuselage airframe is achieved. Any deformation, such as any buckling or bulging of the outer pane of the window element, as a result of a difference in pressure between the interior of the aircraft fuselage airframe and the exterior space at cruising altitudes, has no fluid-dynamically disadvantageous effect. The outer pane is covered by the cover pane which remains substantially undeformed with respect to the outer skin of the aircraft fuselage airframe, for example. Any deformation of the cover pane is largely eliminated by back-ventilation.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2005Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Airbus Deutschland GmbHInventor: Bernd Paspirgilis

Publication number: 20100048123Abstract: An airflow management device is described that assists air cooling, exchange, and circulation of interior spaces by creating inward and outward airflow through a window opening. The device measures temperatures outside and inside a room, and determines when to exhaust warmer ceiling air and to draw cooler outside air. The exhaust component of the device captures warmer air at a higher level of the room and exhausts it through a window opening at a lower level. The intake component of the device draws cooler outside air through the window opening and discharges it into the room at a lower level than exhaust inflow. By expelling air from a high level and drawing it at a lower level, the room vertical temperature gradient is maintained thus optimizing cooling effectiveness. By microcontroller regulation of inflow and outflow, air pressure equilibrium between outside and inside is maintained thus maximizing airflow efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2008Publication date: February 25, 2010Inventor: Lawrence O'Gorman

Patent number: 5083501Abstract: A window unit is provided for reducing heat loss through the window while at the same time providing a desirable inflow of prewarmed ventilation air to maintain interior air quality and thermal comfort. The window unit comprises an outer window frame and a sash frame designed to support an inner dual pane sealed window unit together with a separate outer single pane thus providing a triple pane action. The sash frame is also modified to provide a slot at the lower edge for entry of exterior air into a channel defined between the outer pane and the outer surface of the sealed window unit. The building is maintained at reduced pressure to cause air to flow in a laminar action along the channel toward a slot above the top of the sealed window unit so that heat escaping from the outer pane of the sealed window unit is carried by the laminar air flow back through the upper slot and into the interior of the building.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1990Date of Patent: January 28, 1992Assignee: Willmar Windows Industries Ltd.Inventors: Grenville K.
