Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, a rotatable pin coupling, and a power transfer conduit. The rotatable pin coupling rotationally couples the second arm to the first arm. The first arm defines a first portion of a channel, the second arm defines a second portion of the channel, and rotatable pin coupling defines a third portion of the channel. The power transfer conduit extends through the first portion of the channel at the first arm, the third portion of the channel at the rotatable pin coupling, and the second portion of the channel at the second arm.

Abstract: A driver for an electrically dynamic structure may store and release energy during polarity cycling to improve the energy efficiency of operation. In some examples, the driver includes an energy storage element. In operation, the driver can charge an electrically controllable optically active material to a first operating voltage at a first polarity and subsequently discharge the optically active material during polarity reversal. The driver may store energy released from the optically active material during discharging and subsequently release the energy to charge the optically active material to a second operating voltage at a second polarity different than the first polarity.

Abstract: A controllable privacy structure, such as a window or door, may include an electrically controllable optically active material connected to a driver. The driver can control the application and/or removal of electrical energy to the optically active material to transition from a scattering state in which visibility through the structure is inhibited to a transparent state in which visibility through the structure is comparatively clear. The driver may need to be located in relatively close physical proximity to the privacy structure the driver is intended to control. Devices, systems, and techniques are described for discretely positioning a driver relative to a privacy structure to be controlled.

Abstract: Embodiments (10) of the present invention provide methods and equipment for automatically assembling three panes of glass (212.214,216) and corresponding spacers (218,222) so that air or other gas can be injected into the two between-pane spaces (914,916). The equipment (12) can receive two glass panes (212,216) that each have spacers (218,222) coupled to one of their major surfaces, along with a third glass pane (214) having no spacer coupled to its major surfaces, and can assemble the three glass panes (212,214,216) into a "teepee" configuration in which the two spacers (218,222) each contact two of the glass panes along a common edge of the glass panes. Preferred equipment (10) can receive a glass pane (212) in a first orientation and rotate the glass pane 1800 to a second orientation in which the glass pane's two major surfaces face opposite directions from the first orientation. Such preferred equipment (10) can then receive a two-pane teepee (214,216) from a previous piece of equipment (12) and can add the "flipped" single glass pane (212) to the teepee (214,216) to create a three-pane teepee (212,214,216).

Abstract: The connector key (30) can include a top central depression (42), side walls (46, 48) having top gaps (60, 62), side shoulders (52) having channels and recesses (64). Connector keys can also have holes through the bottom floor of the central depression (42) to the bottom of a connector key (30) and further through bottom channels (76, 78) provided in the connector key (30). Holes may be punched through the spacer material, preferably forming jagged portions which secure the spacer members to the connecting key (30). Sealant may be injected through the punched holes, and through the through holes in the connector key central depression floor. Injected sealant may thus flow into the central depression (42), over the side walls (46, 48) into the side recesses (64), and into the bottom channels (76, 78).
