    Abstract: A window system and method of attenuating light in a window system for improving usefulness and reliability of an electronic dimmable window in the window system. An automatically adjusting photochromatic material is integrated into a window pane of the window system such that the electronic dimmable window is positioned between the automatically adjusting photochromatic material in the window pane and a dust cover of the window system. The automatically adjusting photochromatic material is formulated to attenuate incoming light in a local area of the photochromatic material in response to a solar flux intensity of the incoming light in the local area being greater than or equal to a threshold intensity while areas outside the local area of the photochromatic material that are subjected to solar flux intensity less than the threshold intensity do not attenuate incoming light.

    Abstract: Manufacturing a thermoplastic composite tubular structure embedded with a first load fitting comprising the steps of braiding a first plurality of inner layers of thermoplastic composite material around a soluble, expandable mandrel. A first load fitting is positioned on the first plurality of inner layers of thermoplastic composite material. A second plurality of outer layers of thermoplastic composite material is braided around the first load fitting and the mandrel so as to form an overbraided mandrel embedded with the first load fitting. The overbraided mandrel is installed into a matched tooling assembly and heated at a specified heating profile in order to consolidate the first plurality of inner layers of thermoplastic composite material and the second plurality of outer layers of thermoplastic composite material with the first load fitting so as to form a thermoplastic composite tubular structure embedded with the first load fitting. A second load fitting may be positioned on the first plurality of inner layers of thermoplastic composite material.
