Abstract: An aircraft window foam mounting assembly having an exterior pressure pane frame including an inner surface and an outer surface. A pressure pane is in abutting contact with the inner surface of the exterior pressure pane frame. A foam bezel is proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defines an inner opening. The foam bezel includes an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall includes a channel. An electrochromic element is disposed in the opening and is configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall. An electrically conductive member is operably coupled to the foam bezel and extends from the inner wall to the outer wall.

Abstract: A window assembly includes an electro-optic assembly that includes a first substrate that defines first and second surfaces, a second substrate that defines third and fourth surfaces, and a seal disposed about a periphery of the first and second substrates. The seal, the first substrate, and the second substrate define a chamber therebetween. A transparent electrode coating is disposed on each of the second surface and the third surface and an electro-optic medium is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. A controller is operably coupled with the transparent electrode coating on the second surface and the transparent electrode coating on the third surface and is configured to change a transmittance state of the electro-optic medium. An interface is operably coupled with the controller and allows adjustment of the transmittance state of the electro-optic medium. The interface includes a display that illustrates a selected transmittance state.

Abstract: A window assembly is provided that includes an electro-optic element with a first substantially transparent substrate defining first and second surfaces. The second surface has a first electrically conductive layer. A second substantially transparent substrate defines third and fourth surfaces. The third surface has a second electrically conductive layer. A cavity is defined between the first and second substrates. An electro-optic medium is disposed in the cavity. The electro-optic medium is variably transmissive such that the electro-optic element is operable between substantially clear and darkened states. A pane is positioned proximate the electro-optic element and an infrared reflective film is positioned on at least one of the pane and the electro-optic element.
