A fire resistant construction block that comprises a core comprising a polygonal shape including a front face, a rear face, a right face, a left face, a bottom face, and a top face. The fire resistant construction block further comprises a fire resistant coating surrounding at least a portion of the core and an optional intermediate layer disposed between the core and the fire resistant coating. The fire resistant construction block can comprise a plurality of channels, and the top face of the fire resistant construction block comprises a sloped surface. The fire resistant construction block can be configured to be disposed above a window of a building and the placement of the fire resistant construction block can enable an exterior wall of a building to comply with a National Fire Protection Agency Code 285 standard fire test method and/or other fire test standards.

Shoe molding for use with a door casing having a face with a given contour. The shoe molding includes a body extending from a free end to junction end, the body having a profile with a wall edge and a floor edge and a face extending between the edges. A junction cavity is defined in the junction end of the body extending in from the wall edge. The junction cavity defines an interior surface having a configuration which complements the given contour.

A rear slider window assembly for a vehicle includes a fixed window panel and a movable window panel that is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The movable window panel includes a laminated movable window panel having an electrical element disposed between an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel. The first electrical element is in electrical connection with a wire harness of the vehicle via a flexible connector electrically connected to a first electrical connector at an inner surface of the movable window panel and to a second electrical connector at the inner surface of the fixed window panel. The first electrical connector is electrically connected to the first electrical element via a thin flat connector that extends from the first electrical connector and wraps around a perimeter edge of the inner glass panel of the movable window panel.

The present invention relates to an integral antiseismic door frame or seismic shock dissipation door frame adaptable to climate changes, which controls movements for all types of vertical or horizontal communicational involvement on foot within a dwelling, either house or building for general use. The door frame is composed of a plurality of components having different geometrical shapes, masses, densities and elasticities, joined together to form an energy dissipater or force damper in an integral frame comprising one or more multidirectional energy dissipaters which are assembled perpendicularly thereto. During installation it can be adapted to variations in the parallelism of the side and top walls when anchoring thereto due to other elements made either of wood, plastic, iron or the like, which are installed lengthwise to increase its width and correct the parallelism of the walls, if necessary, without altering its energy dissipation properties. The components integrated in the integral door frame interact with each other, dissipating the energy exerted by the walls on the door, controlling loads, movements and deformations, maintaining normal operation of the door, preventing the obstruction thereof and at the same time jamming of the lock, such that it is possible to open the door during and after a seism or earthquake or when the door is affected by changes in the relative humidity of the environment.

A laminated, bent, safety glass panel (30) for architectural or interior uses and a method of manufacturing such panels. The panel comprises a single heat-treated bent glass sheet, fully-tempered or heat-strengthened, forming a substrate (32) encapsulated by at least one thin, chemically-strengthened, glass veneer sheet (38). The veneer sheet (38), an alkali-aluminosilicate or other alkali-containing glass recipe strengthened by ion-exchange treatment, is cold-bent over a polymer interlayer (40) and permanently laminated to form a protective barrier on the heat-treated glass that dampens the explosive release of its internal residual stresses in the event of breakage thereby preventing particles dislodging and subsequent disintegration. The vulnerable perimeter (37) and perforation (45) edges of the veneer sheet (38) are equal in size or inset to the edges of the heat-treated substrate (32) with its deeper robust compressive stresses. Veneers may be laminated to both major substrate surfaces.

A slider window assembly for a vehicle includes at least one fixed window panel and a movable window panel. A perimeter seal is disposed at a surface of the fixed window panel and includes a continuous sealing element that circumscribes an opening of the fixed window panel and that is configured to substantially seal against a surface of the movable window panel about a periphery of the movable window panel when the movable window panel is closed. The perimeter seal includes a sealing tab at a corner region of the perimeter seal where an upper sealing portion engages a first elongated side sealing portion. The sealing tab is joined with an elongated sealing lip of the upper sealing portion or the first elongated side sealing portion. The sealing tab extends from the elongated sealing lip toward the surface of the at least one fixed window panel.
