A hurricane-resistant laminated pane comprises a first sheet of thermally strengthened glass having a thickness in the range of from 2 to 24 mm, a second sheet of untempered glass having a thickness in the range of from 0.3 to 1 mm, and a polymer interlayer adhered between the first sheet and the second sheet. A process for making such a pane and a window comprising such a pane are also disclosed.

Light weight hurricane window and laminate with untempered sheet

Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards fenestration assemblies having a first pane; a second pane, the second pane spaced from the first pane; and a third pane configured in spaced relation between the first pane and the second pane, where the third pane is a laminate. In one aspect, the total thickness of the third pane laminate is not greater than 3 mm. In one aspect, the laminate comprises a first glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick and a second glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick, and an interlayer between first and second layers.

Fenestration assemblies and related methods

Various embodiments for a laminate glass article and related methods are provided. The laminated glass article includes a first and second glass layers with an interlayer positioned therebetween, comprising: a polymer core layer comprising a high modulus polymer (e.g. polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, and polyimide); a first low modulus material layer (e.g. first TPU or first PVB or first EVA) configured between the first layer and the polymer core layer; and a second low modulus material layer (e.g. second TPU or second PVB or second EVA) configured between the second layer and the polymer core layer.

Asymmetrical glass laminates having composite interlayer and related methods

Various embodiments for a laminate glass article and related methods are provided. The laminated glass article includes a first glass layer and a second glass layer with a TPU interlayer positioned therebetween.

An insulated glass unit is described and includes at least a first glass layer, a second glass layer and a third glass layer disposed therebetween. The third glass layer is separated from the first glass layer and the second glass layer by first and second sealed gap spaces. The third glass layer has a low CTE as compared to the CTE of the first and/or second glass layers. In some instances, the third glass layer has a CTE of less than 70&#xd7;10/&#xb0; C. over a temperature range of 0-300&#xb0; C.

A laminate structure having a first chemically strengthened glass layer, a second chemically strengthened glass layer, and a polymer interlayer structure intermediate the first and second glass layers. The polymer interlayer structure can include a first polymeric layer adjacent to the first glass layer, a second polymeric layer adjacent to the second glass layer, and a polymeric rigid core intermediate the first and second polymeric layers.

Light-weight, high stiffness glass laminate structure

Disclosed herein are methods for making asymmetric laminate structures and methods for reducing bow in asymmetric laminate structures, the methods comprising differentially heating the laminate structures during lamination or differentially cooling the laminate structures after lamination. Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing bow in asymmetric laminate structures, the methods comprising subjecting at least one substrate in the laminate structure to asymmetric tempering or annealing prior to lamination. Further disclosed herein are laminate structures made according to such methods.

Asymmetric processing method for reducing bow in laminate structures

An optical fiber selection system automatically recommends an appropriate optical fiber type for a communication network, based on input from a user. In one embodiment, the system includes a user computer system that is in communication with a vendor computer system. The vendor computer system executes code and performs a number of steps. Initially, the vendor computer system receives at least one technical parameter associated with the proposed communication network from the user, via the user computer system. Next, the vendor computer system automatically selects an optical fiber type for the communication network based on the least one technical parameter. Finally, the vendor computer system provides the selected optical fiber type to the user, via the user computer system.
