An electrically conductive heated glass panel assembly, control system,
and method for producing panels are provided to warm objects and to
insure unobstructed viewing through glass by removing moisture. An
integrated connection circuit interconnects glass sheets, which have a
low emissivity conductive coating deposited thereon. The circuit includes
copper bus bars that are disposed onto the conductive coating through the
use of a circularly rotating or an inline heating head and mask
apparatus. A metallic tab, which extends from the glass sheet's
peripheral edge, is disposed onto each conductive metal bus bar for
external electrical connectivity. Two types of glazing channels are
offered to interconnect multiple panels to external circuits and
controls. A solid-state controller may be provided to obtain sensor
control signals so as to drive a triac circuit that provides current flow
through the panel for the desired heating.
