Abstract: A glass forming system includes a support that is configured to be installed in a glass bending furnace. The glass forming system further includes rods that are located adjacent to one another and spaced from each other to define a perimeter that encloses an open space. Each of the rods is coupled to the support. The glass forming system further includes actuators that are attached to the support. Each of the actuators is configured to move a corresponding one of the rods independently from the other rods. The glass forming system further includes a pad that is carried by the rods and that defines an engagement surface upon which a glass substrate is placed. A geometry of the engagement surface is reconfigurable based on movement of one or more of the rods.

Abstract: A system may have structure. The structures may include laminated structures formed by attaching inner and outer layers together with a layer of adhesive. The inner and outer layers in a structure may be formed from polymer such as polycarbonate. Forming the structure layers from polymer may allow the structure to have desired curvature. To improve safety and/or acoustic performance of the structure, the inner and outer structure layers may be formed from different materials. The outer polymer layer may be formed from polycarbonate and the inner polymer layer may be formed from a more brittle polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Abstract: A panel includes an outer layer and an inner layer. A mask layer is positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. An active layer is positioned between the mask layer and the inner layer and adjacent to an outer edge of the panel. The active layer extends from the outer edge of the panel toward a central portion of the panel and includes an independently controllable active element configured to limit viewing of the mask layer.

Abstract: A panel (100) of a structure includes an outer layer (220) and an inner layer (222) that is positioned closer to an interior surface (104) of the structure than the outer layer (220). An intermediate layer (224) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the inner layer (222), and a mask layer (106) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the intermediate layer (224). The mask layer (106) includes an outer portion (228) and an inner portion (230), where the outer portion (228) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the intermediate layer (224), and the inner portion (230) is positioned between the outer portion (228) and the intermediate layer (224). The outer portion (228) and the inner portion (230) include different visual attributes.
