InspecTech Launches Line of "Smart" Windows New window products are now avail- able from InspecTech Inc. that allow vessel operators to instantly and precise- ly control the amount of light, glare and heat entering their interior spaces. According to Jim Lang. President of InspecTech: "InspecTech has served the aerospace market for 10 years with a range of high-quality products and serv- ices. and our line of light control win- dows has been very well received by air- craft owners and jet manufacturers. InspecTech's line of marine windows uses patented SPD-Smart light control film technology licensed from Research Frontiers Incorporated. Light, glare and heat control are achieved when a very small amount of electrical power is applied to the win- dow. Customers interested in total priva- cy can obtain InspecTech's SPD l-Shade windows. InspecTech's line of marine windows is available now in standard and custom sizes.
