    Abstract: Controllers and control methods apply a drive voltage to bus bars of a thin film optically switchable device. The applied drive voltage is provided at a level that drives a transition over the entire surface of the optically switchable device but does not damage or degrade the device. This applied voltage produces an effective voltage at all locations on the face of the device that is within a bracketed range. The upper bound of this range is associated with a voltage safely below the level at which the device may experience damage or degradation impacting its performance in the short term or the long term. At the lower boundary of this range is an effective voltage at which the transition between optical states of the device occurs relatively rapidly. The level of voltage applied between the bus bars is significantly greater than the maximum value of the effective voltage within the bracketed range.

    Abstract translation: 控制器和控制方法将驱动电压施加到薄膜光可切换装置的母线上。 施加的驱动电压被提供在驱动光可切换装置的整个表面上的转变的水平,但不会损坏或降低装置。 该施加的电压在器件的位于包围范围内的所有位置处产生有效电压。 该范围的上限与安全低于器件可能经历在短期或长期内影响其性能的损坏或劣化的电平相关联。 在该范围的下边界处是器件的光学状态之间的转变相对快速地发生的有效电压。 母线之间施加的电压电平明显大于括号内有效电压的最大值。

    Abstract: This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows. A smart window may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a window unit includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. A wire assembly may be attached to the edge of the insulated glass unit and may include wires in electrical communication with electrodes of the optically switchable pane. A floating connector may be attached to a distal end of the wire assembly. The floating connector may include a flange and a nose, with two holes in the flange for affixing the floating connector to a first frame. The nose may include a terminal face that present two exposed contacts of opposite polarity. Pre-wired spacers improve fabrication efficiency and seal integrity of insulated glass units. Electrical connection systems include those embedded in the secondary seal of the insulated glass unit.
