Sol–gel-derived potassium-based di-ureasils for “smart windows”

Engineering Smart Windows Using Arduino

The Window, a common household feature has great potential to become an automated system implemented in homes across the globe. In this project we designed and constructed a prototype of a marketable Smart Window utilizing the Arduino microcontroller. This open-source platform allowed us to use a variety of sensors to evaluate internal and external conditions and adjust the settings of a room a...

Smart Windows: Ultrathin Fluidic Laminates for Large‐Area Façade Integration and Smart Windows (Adv. Sci. 3/2017)

Low-voltage electrochromic device for photovoltaic-powered smart windows

We report the properties of an all-solid-state electrochromic ~EC! device that can be switched over a useful range of optical transmissions with voltages below 1 V. This switching voltage is smaller than required by other solid-state EC devices reported to date. We attribute the lower-than-normal switching voltage to the use of a thermally evaporated MgF2 thin film as the lithium ion conducting...

Integrated smart electrochromic windows for energy saving and storage applications.

A self-powered electrochromic smart window with tunable transmittance driven by dye-sensitized solar cells has been designed, which also acts as a photocharged electrochromic supercapacitor with high areal capacitance and reversible color changes.

Using SMART for Customized Monitoring of Windows Services

We focus on examining and working with an important category of computer software called Services, which are provided as a part of newer Microsoft Windows operating systems. A typical Windows user transparently utilizes many of these services but is frequently unaware of their existence. Since some services have the potential to create significant problems when they are executing, it is importa...
