| 20080302032 | Fenestration Product Such as a Skylight Having a Laminated Glazing Unit - A fenestration is provided having a peripheral frame defining a frame opening, the frame being adapted to being installed upon an opening in a building panel. Cooperating with the peripheral frame is a laminated panel which is structurally mounted to and sealingly spans the peripheral frame opening to form a structural and leak proof interconnection. The laminated panel is formed of three structural layers; an outer and inner plastic sheet and a resin layer interposed therebetween which are collectively bonded together to form a structural laminate, the laminated panel being capable of transmitting visible light therethrough. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080319984 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY GATHERING INFORMATION OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK - A method of finding relevant content on one or more target storage devices includes the step of receiving an instruction from an instruction queue specifying a content description to be searched for on the target digital storage medium. Content on the target digital storage medium specified by the content description is then search for. A report of the search is created and transferred to one or more predetermined users after the report is created. A discovery hold is implement by preserving content found in the search. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090031649 | PLASTIC FENESTRATION PRODUCT - A fenestration product such as a skylight or a window assembly is provided having a frame with a peripheral wall with a light transmitting central region and a plastic dome formed of a light transmitting material mounted to the frame. The plastic dome has a central region which transmits light, a downwardly extending peripheral wall extending about and mounted to the peripheral frame, and an outwardly extending flashing flange for mounting the assembly to a building structure. Various embodiments of the part illustrated include a skylight assembly having a frame formed of a plastic layer formed into an inverted “U” shape cross-section forming an annular channel filled with insulating foam. A sealed, vertically mounted window unit is also disclosed. Other embodiments have an insulating layer of transparent plastic material spaced from the dome forming an enclosed, gas filled insulating region. Methods of forming and installing a fenestration assembly are also described. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20100134271 | Hazard Ahead Warning Light and Method - A hazard warning apparatus for use in motor vehicles enabling a driver observing a road hazard to warn other drivers. One embodiment is provided with at least one light preferably an array of lights arranged as a hazard warning signal mounted a body associated of the vehicle in a forward facing direction in order to warn oncoming traffic when illuminated. A power supply circuit provides an intermittently pulsed power signal to the array of lights for a limited period of time in response to an input signal and then automatically turns off. An input switch located proximate the driver when engaged communicates with the power supply causing the array of lights to be intermittently pulsed. In another embodiment the hazard warning apparatus communicates with other vehicles providing a hazard warning via a wireless signal. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100146880 | INSULATED SKYLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A skylight assembly is provided with a glazing unit which transmits light while limiting heat transfer. The glazing unit has spaced apart top and bottom layer defining an enclosed cavity at least partially filled with translucent insulating particles. A peripheral frame formed in situ from a polymeric material about the glazing unit forming a leak-tight joint. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100275537 | Window-Containing Assemblies Having a Molded Plastic Frame - The present invention provides a window frame design that is adapted to receive at least two light-panels. The window frame comprises a stepped frame section that includes a lower step surface and an upper step surface. The lower step surface is adapted to receive a first light-panel so that a section of the first light-panel lies flush against the lower step surface. Similarly, the upper step surface is adapted to receive a second light-panel so that the second light-panel lies flush against the upper step surface. The window frame design of the invention can be either incorporated into a skylight frame that may be attached to a curb unit on a roof or it may be an integral part of a skylight frame-curb assembly that also contains a curb section. In another embodiment of the invention, a window frame design which directly incorporates one or more light-panels during molding is provided. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110179791 | SOLAR COLLECTOR - A solar collector is provided with a reflective panel assembly that is supported by a frame and pivots about a first horizontal axis. The panel assembly is configured for reflecting sunlight to a common focal point, and includes a central panel and a pair of outer panels each pivotally coupled to the central panel and configured for folding over the central panel. A collector assembly is mounted relative to the frame and pivotal about a second horizontal axis. The collector assembly is configured for collecting solar energy and includes a receiver that is positioned at the focal point. The receiver is configured for extracting energy from the reflected sunlight. The solar collector may also include a four-bar linkage assembly for supporting the panel assembly and the collector assembly during movement from a collapsed position and a partially extended position. | 07-28-2011 |
