The present invention also discloses a communication system including a glazing unit, at least a 4G and/or 5G signal communication unit and a provider fixed station or active or passive repeater, which is placed at least at 1 m outside from the glazing unit, wherein the 4G and/or 5G signal communication unit is fixed to the glazing unit at the opposite side from the provider fixed station or active or passive repeater.

A light-weight unitary window assembly for recreational vehicles and trailers. The window assembly uses a two piece design that seats within the wall or door opening and incorporates a fixed window pane integrally molded into one of the polymer frame halves. The window assembly also uses a plurality of weep holes that extend through the frame halves to vacate water from the window assembly to the exterior of the vehicle or trailer wall. In an exemplary embodiment, the window assembly also includes a sliding window pane that slides along a peripheral track and securely seats in a closed position using a plurality of contact pads to prevent window “chatter.” The window assembly also includes an integrated latch mechanism to secure the sliding pane.

To provide a laminated glass in which color shading of an optical member is reduced, and a method for producing it.

A laminated glass comprising

a first glass plate,

a second glass plate facing the first glass plate, and

between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, a light control member to which a power feeder is connected, a bonding portion and a sealing member,

wherein the sealing member overlaps with at least a part of the periphery of the first glass plate, in a plan view,

the bonding portion is in contact with the first glass plate, the second glass plate, and a first principal surface, a second principal surface and side surfaces of the light control member, and

the bonding portion contains a curable transparent resin.

The present invention provides an interlayer film for laminated glass which has excellent sound insulating properties even when the thickness is reduced, and also hardly causes optical unevenness.

An interlayer film for laminated glass includes at least one layer A containing a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the shear storage modulus of the layer A at 70° C. as measured by performing a dynamic viscoelasticity test at a frequency of 1,000 Hz in accordance with ASTM D4065-06 is 1 MPa or more, and a layer having a higher shear storage modulus than the layer A is provided on at least one surface of the layer A, and at least one surface of the interlayer film for laminated glass is in a state of having been shaped.

An insulating glazing unit, having a first pane, a second pane, and a third pane and a circumferential spacer is described. The spacer includes a polymeric main body described as a first pane contact surface and a second pane contact surface, a first hollow chamber and a second hollow chamber, an outer surface a groove to accommodate a pane where the lateral flanks of the groove are formed by the walls of the first hollow chamber and of the second hollow chamber, the outer surface is divided into a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a bearing edge, the bearing edge runs substantially perpendicular to the pane contact surfaces and connects the first outer surface and the second outer surface to one another, the first outer surface and the second outer surface enclose in each case an angle α (alpha) of 100°<α<160° with the bearing edge, where wherein the panes are connected via one seal each to the pane contact surfaces, the third pane is inserted into the groove of the spacer (I).

The glass panel unit includes a first glass panel, a second glass panel, a seal, an evacuated space, and a spacer. The second glass panel is placed opposite the first glass panel. The seal with a frame shape hermetically bonds the first glass panel and the second glass panel to each other. The evacuated space is enclosed by the first glass panel, the second glass panel 30, and the seal. The spacer is placed between the first glass panel and the second glass panel. The spacer contains polyimide having benzoxazole structures.

The present disclosure relates to a building aperture cover (1) such as a window or a door. The building aperture cover comprises a frame arrangement (2) and a vacuum insulated glass unit (3), wherein the vacuum insulated glass unit (3) comprises an evacuated gap (4) placed between a first and a second glass sheet (3a, 3b), and wherein a plurality of support structures (5) are arranged in the evacuated gap (4). The vacuum insulated glass unit (3) is arranged in the frame arrangement (2, 6). The building aperture cover (1) comprises one or more elongated flexible sealing gaskets (21, 22) arranged between an outer major surface (S1, S2) of the vacuum insulated glass unit (3) and a frame part (13a, 13c, 23a, 23c) of the frame arrangement (2, 6). The one or more elongated flexible sealing gaskets (21, 22) is arranged to extend substantially parallel to an edge (7, 50a-50d) of the vacuum insulated glass unit (3). One or more of the one or more elongated flexible sealing gaskets (21, 22) comprises an interior, sealed cavity (21a, 22a) configured to comprise a pressurized fluid.
