ELMSFORD, NY (March 30, 2004) - U.S. Patent No. 6,713,988 , entitled “Selectively Activated Electrochemical Cell System” issued on March 30, 2004. Congratulations to the inventors, Donald Dubac, Michael Glover and Haresh Kameth. This patent covers a system of arrays of batteries, such as metal air batteries, and methods to operate it while optimizing energy utilization. The system provided features a controller that selectively activates parallel arrays of electrochemical cells. This setup allows for both production of high power and high energy, depending on the particulars of the application. It also allows for interruptibility of cell discharge activities.
U.S. Patent No. 6,710,823 , entitled “Electro-Optical Glazing Structures Having Teflection and Transparent Modes of Operation” issued on March 23, 2004. Congratulations to the inventors, Drs. Sadeg Faris, Le Li, and Jian-feng Li. This patent is related to U.S. Patent No. 5,940,150 issued on August 17, 1999 to the same inventors. This family of patents is directed towards “smart” windows that can be electrically switched from transparent to opaque and vice versa. In addition, this electrically switchable property applies not only to the visible range of light, but the IR and UV range as well, affording end users greater flexibility and functionality in their use of the smart window. This patent enhances the intellectual property protection of InventQjaya’s LuxVu™ line of smart windows.
U.S. Patent No. 6,710,541 , entitled “Polarized Light Sources and Methods for Making the Same” issued on March 23, 2004. Congratulations to the inventors, Drs. Zhan He and Sadeg Faris. Polarized light sources are required for many existing applications, including LCD displays of all shapes and sizes, and reducing indoor lighting glare. This invention produces a highly efficient, pure, and bright polarized light. Further, this polarized light source can be made low cost, enabling the production of ultra-thin and lightweight polarized light sources.
