Abstract:
An insulative separation element ( 110) bridges first and second conductive spacer ends (107) of a spacer frame ( 110,105A, and 105B) of an active or insulated glazing unit (100). The insulative separation element ( 110) includes first and second outer sections (140) dimensioned for placement into the first and second conductive spacer ends (107). The insulative separation element ( 110) includes an intermediate section (145) connecting the first and second outer sections (140). The intermediate section (145) has opposing first and second faces dimensioned for abutment with and insulative separation of the first and second spacer ends (107), respectively.

Abstract:
An insulated glazing unit (11) is provided. The unit (11) includes a spacer frame (105) separating a pair of substrates (2, 2A). The spacer frame (105) has a length and a width transverse to the length. The unit further includes a conductive element (15) passing through the width of the spacer frame (105). The unit further includes a first conductive component (16) within the spacer frame (105). The first conductive component (16) is in electrical communication with the conductive element (15). The conductive element (15) is adapted for electrical communication with a second conductive component (75) on a side of the width of the spacer frame opposite the first conductive component (16).
Abstract:
A system for providing an electrical interface (10) across a sealed boundary (2,3) may include a frame (1,9A) in sealed engagement with at least a portion of a substrate (12,13). The substrate (12,13) may be in communication with an electrochromic device. The system may further include first and second conduits (75,80). The first conduit (75) may be on a first side of the substrate (12,13) and a second conduit (80) may be on a second side of the substrate. The second conduit (80) may be in communication with the first conduit (75) through at least one of the seal (2,3), a space between the seal (2,3) and the frame (1,9A), and a space between the seal (2,3) and the substrate (12,13).
Abstract:
A window transmissivity control assembly having a power source with scalable size and power capacity is provided. The assembly includes an insulated glazing unit including a variably transmissive glazing, a photovoltaic module attached to the insulated glazing unit and electrically coupled to the variably transmissive glazing, and a control module having a control circuit for controlling transmissivity of the glazing and a battery for providing power to the glazing. The photovoltaic assembly is attached to an exterior face portion of the insulated glazing unit, and a control module is attached to an interior face portion of the insulated glazing unit. Each module may extend from a first end of the insulated glazing unit to an opposing second end of the insulated glazing unit, wherein the length of the module being substantially the same as the distance between the first and second ends of the insulated glazing unit.
