#Low-cost, tunable smart windows developed with lectrokinetic pixelsresearchers at the University of Cincinnati with industry partners,
have created low-cost, smart window technology based on electro-kinetic pixels, which can dynamically adapt for brightness,
color temperatures and opacity something that neither blinds nor existing smart windows can do. This patent-pending research, supported by the National Science Foundation, will hopefully lead to low-cost window tinting that can provide a wide range of optical functionality such as adjusting for color and brightness.
What is the problem? Currently, most home and commercial windows use inexpensive, mechanical shades to provide privacy
and to block light, heat or cold. These (as you may have guessed) are quite effective, which has slowed the adoption of relatively expensive and seemingly unnecessary electronically controlled window tinting.
Previously these electronic windows could only mimic the clear-to-opaque performance of mechanical shades therefore offering no additional performance or functionality benefit,
but at a cost far greater than existing, and much simpler, age-old technology. For any real-world interest to gain hold, smart windows need to be both inexpensive
and offer something that shades cannot. What have the researchers actually created? The researchers have produced electrokinetic pixels for use as a fundamental smart window element.
These are capable of dimming light transmission and fully altering the color temperature of transmitted light.
They can be integrated easily into new windows or even easily applied to already existing windows,
by means of a roll-on coating consisting of a honeycomb of electrodes (see bottom right image).
or change the color of the light along a spectrum from cooler blue to warmer yellow The image to the above right shows the different potential states the window tiles could operate In this is a mock-up based on the results from the single device.
and the two companies (Merck and HP), was how to apply common e-paper technology to larger structures such as windows, but inexpensively.
For example, $30 per square foot is the industry standard for window manufacturing, so in order to become viable,
In summary, the work here provides a unique design for smart windows using existing e-ink technologies,
Rivals to this technology are based liquid-crystal wallpapers and windows, and electrochromic materials (such as vanadium dioxide).

#Solar chip monitors windows It happens all too often in the cold times of the year:
You open the window in the morning for fresh air and forget to shut it again.
and the heating is turned up full blast right out the window. But open windows are a problem with more than just the heating or storms.
A window tilted open, for example, is a direct invitation to intruders. It would be desirable to have automated an system that notices open windows
and sends an alarm signal to the tenant. There are certainly home and building systems today that register the window status. As a rule
however, the sensors have to be attached by cable to the alarm center inside the home or building itself.
In other cases, battery-operated radio sensors are used. But changing batteries in structures that have several windows can lead to a considerable maintenance expense.
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg therefore developed a pragmatic alternative:
a radio sensor chip about the size of a fingernail that is mounted directly in the window.
Thanks to this window space, the solar cell obtains adequate light, even in the darkness of winter.
and acceleration sensors that register if the window is open just a crack or all the way.
if a window has remained open for too long. The applications of the radio chip are diverse.
or warn if a window is still open when they leave the Home in addition, it offers reliable protection from intruders even for closed windows.
