By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Halio Inc. (Hayward, California, Unite d States) has been issued patent number 11900617, according to news reporting or iginating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors. The patent's inventors are Humann, Christian (Berkeley, CA, US), McNeil, Andrew (Oakland, CA, US). This patent was filed on November 15, 2022 and was published online on February 13, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: "An electrochromic glass unit uses electrochromic g lass that can change transmissivity with the application of electric current and voltage. The change of transmissivity typically relies on a reversible oxidatio n of a material. Electrochromic glass units can darken at the press of a button or other triggering events and are also often used in building windows to reduce glare and solar heat gains." Supplementing the background information on this patent, NewsRx reporters also o btained the inventors' summary information for this patent: "Cloud forecasting f or electrochromic devices is described. Electrochromic devices can be, for examp le, used for smart windows (e.g., electrochromic windows) in a commercial or res idential building. A smart window refers to one or more glass units whose charac teristics (e.g., a tint level representing a particular transmissivity parameter , optical scattering characteristics, etc.) can be changed automatically (e.g., at a particular time, in response to a weather condition, etc.). Selectively tin ting smart windows may allow some control of solar heat gain of a building to de crease energy used for heating and/or cooling (e.g., tinting smart windows on su nny summer days allows for less solar heat gain, untinting smart windows in sunn y winter days allows for more solar heat gain). Selectively tinting smart window s may provide effective use of daylight (e.g., daylighting) to decrease energy u sed for lighting. Whereas properly controlled smart windows may reduce energy us ed for heating, cooling, and lighting, improper control of smart windows may inc rease energy consumption and decrease user comfort (e.g., not properly allowing natural light, allowing glare from direct sunlight, etc.). A modern multi-story building can include thousands of external and internal windows. As such, contro lling electrochromic devices in an efficient manner becomes increasingly importa nt.
