Various embodiments herein relate to networks of electrochromic windows. The networks may be configured in particular ways to minimize the likelihood that the windows on the network draw more power than can be provided. The network may include particular hardware components that provide additional power to windows as needed. The network may also be configured to adjust how the windows therein transition to prevent overloading the network. The techniques described herein can be used to design networks of electrochromic windows that are undersized when considering the amount of power that would be needed to simultaneously transition all the windows on the network using normal transition parameters, while still allowing simultaneous transitions to occur.

A pair of glasses is disclosed. The glasses include a lens made of electrochromic glass; a camera for capturing a foreground image; an infrared sensor circuit for emitting an infrared light, receiving the infrared light reflected by a target object in the foreground image, and determining an emitting time for emitting the infrared light and a receiving time for receiving the reflected infrared light; and a processing circuit for obtaining information of an area of the target object based on the foreground image, the emitting time, and the receiving time, and controlling a change of a voltage applied to the corresponding area based on the information of the corresponding area; a battery for supplying the voltage applied to the corresponding area at the lens to change the voltage applied; and a frame for accommodating the lens, the camera, the infrared sensor circuit, the processing circuit, and the battery.

A verifiable display is provided that enables the visual content of the display to be detected and confirmed in a variety of ambient lighting conditions, environments, and operational states. In particular, the verifiable display has a display layer that is capable of visually setting an intended message for human or machine reading, with the intended message being set using pixels. Depending on the operational condition of the display and the ambient light, for example, the message that is actually displayed and perceivable may vary from the intended message. To detect what message is actually displayed, a light detection layer in the verifiable display detects the illumination state of the pixels, and in that way is able to detect what message is actually being presented by the display layer.

Briefly, an intelligent label is disclosed that has two viewable surfaces. Each surface is constructed such that a permanent and irreversible message may be set into each surface independently. That is, a first message may be set into the first viewing surface of the electro-optic material, and another message may be set into the second viewing surface, for example, at a later time. Various constructions are described including a construction using two pairs of stimulating electrodes, and a second construction using a single pair of stimulating electrodes.
