It is made all possible to be introduced in this continuing patent within the scope by items already stated in the parent patent.
This continued present invention offers an innovative idea and easy ways to improve the windows and doors insulation value coordinated with the parent patent, which has been the weakest area of all buildings in terms of energy efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE C.I.P. PRESENT INVENTION

The primary object of this continuing present invention is the same as of the parent patent to provide prefabricated building components with energy efficient saving means to facilitate the building process of industrial, commercial and residential industries.
As described in the parent patent application, the glass VIP in its double and triple pane configurations are “obscured” glass panels in vacuum condition which are used as part of the wall insulation members as composite insulated wall panel and also used as “obscured” insulated glass features wall panels to bring in lights; hereinafter, part of this continued patent is to implement the non-factory “repeat at will” built-in on and off vacuum system incorporated for window and wall load-bearing structures, for the purpose of achieving various high level insulation values along with advancing the “obscured” to “un-obscured” and co-exist in the system for a building structure. The following is an introduction of the “un-obscured” glass VIP of double and triple pane configurations, which are the extended versions of the double and triple pane “obscured” glass VIP cited in the parent patent. Its formation process is clearly described in the parent patent.
This continuing present invention is able to perform the Vacuum/Active Forced Thermal Fluid Insulation Process; with the un-obscured glass VIP system, a perfect vacuum condition can be obtained by a simple procedure in a non-factory environment “repeatedly at will”. The vacuum is achieved by the users pumping forced fluid to fill up the space within the tightly sealed unit, followed by gradually retrieving or drawing out a specific quantity of the liquid to create a desired amount of vacuumed space. This mechanical pumping and retrieval process can be repeatedly executed at will by incorporating a programmable mechanical apparatus comprises liquid pumps, controlling devices, tubing, reservoirs to retain fluids & heat exchanger, capable to regulating time, temperature and transport volume of thermal fluids as desired.
One of the items to be presented in this continuing present invention is the addition of the aforementioned “repeat-at-will”, built-in on/off vacuum process on the un-obscure glass VIP units of double and triple pane. With this vacuum process, this continuing present invention will transform the un-obscured glass VIP into a unique window system that has a built-in window treatment with three stages of insulation values.
Stage one uses a double pane un-obscured glass VIP as an example; as previously mentioned regarding insulation values, it can be achieved by filling up 100% of the cavity of the un-obscured glass VIP with appropriate fluid. This is then followed by gradually retrieving or drawing out the liquid. As a result pressure is created in the cavity to produce a pure vacuum condition, along with creating a double pane true vacuum insulated panel, the result provides recognized superior insulation value.
Stage two uses the previously mentioned vacuum insulation values to reverse the initial process of retrieval to pump the thermal fluid back into the pressurized vacuum cavity, as soon as the capacity is filled 100% by the thermal fluid; “the double pane un-obscured glass VIP, the thermal fluid, and the thermal fluid-filled cavity are converted into “one” unique window system”. By filling the cavity with the thermal fluid, the system becomes active with insulation value. The thermal insulation effect of the fluid is related to a pre-set specific R-value which can be easily achieved by regulating the temperature, which is utilized through the “energy” generated by a solar panel. Furthermore; to control the temperature consistency, when the temperature of the fluid decreases in the cavity, a thermostat controlled pumping device is then activated. The fluid is pumped through the solar-powered heater to be re-fused with higher preset temperature and then to be returned into the cavity. As an option, an alternative heating device can be used to maintain an appropriate temperature to achieve the desired insulation value. In addition, another usable function of the system is to transport unwanted temperature from the outside by using a lower or room temperature fluid.
The above active thermal forced fluid system can be used for hot and cold climates. When the fluid is contained in the reservoir and is not needed in the cavity, the cavity will remain in its pressurized pure vacuum condition.
Stage three uses a process as described in the parent patent. A triple pane obscure glass VIP can be produced by adding a third glass sheet, and then with all three glass sheets to be sandwiched together with glass strips of same material on all four edges. Appropriate heat is then applied around all four edges of the assembled glass sheets and glass strips. The glass strips are then melted with the glass sheets together and sealed as one triple pane glass unit, therefore creating two separate attached side by side cavities.
It is in the same production process referring to the parent patent that with this continuing present invention, a third un-obscured glass sheet is added to the same aforementioned production process to produce an un-obscured triple pane glass VIP with two separate attached cavities on either side of the middle glass sheet. One of the two created cavities to be vacuumed and sealed off permanently by using the aforementioned method is to draw out the fluid from the cavity to create a pressurized vacuumed space. Then the second cavity on the opposite side of the middle glass sheet works as the frequent-forced fluid cavity. Thereby within the un-obscured triple pane glass VIP, being as “one” unit, embraces a permanent pressurized vacuumed cavity and a forced fluid “repeat at will” pressurized vacuumed cavity are transformed. The triple pane un-obscured glass VIP with these two opposite-sided cavities, which is one unit, can also be rotated the way they are facing depending on application, For example; the permanent vacuumed cavity can be used facing the exterior side, while the opposite side of the forced fluid “repeat at will” cavity can be used facing the interior room, and vice versa.
Within this “one” unit triple pane un-obscured glass VIP embodiment, in addition to the first permanent vacuumed cavity and the second cavity with forced fluid on the very opposite side of the middle glass sheet, when the multi-forced-fluids are contained in the reservoirs, then this forced-fluid-cavity is in vacuumed condition as well. It functions exactly the same as the previously described double pane un-obscured glass VIP with programmable pumping and controlling devices, which interacts with color fluids and reservoirs. Now that the second forced fluid cavity is in a “repeat-at-will” vacuum condition, along with the first permanent vacuumed cavity on the opposite side of the middle glass sheet; this triple pane un-obscured glass VIP transformed at this stage into a “dual” vacuumed un-obscured glass VIP embodiment that would be a superior insulation media for windows and for doors which are the weakest spots which relates to thermal transfer (heat loss) for houses and buildings.
Another object By utilizing all three stages of the insulation system; an additional benefit of the un-obscured glass VIP becomes available: Customized Window Treatment System via vacuum/forced active thermal fluid.
A wide range of color choice can be incorporated into the fluids or the active thermal forced fluids to create the window treatment effects in a non-obscure glass VIP. A lighter colour for minimum privacy, a darker colour to block strong sunrays, and any colour to compliment the decor of the household.
A dual fluid reservoir with separate controlling devices can be used to achieve the light and darker color effects provide alternative color of choice for one window unit. Additionally, the Custom Window Treatment system, when filled with appropriate fluid can be used to effectively block ultra violet light. This system offers an alternative choice to replacing existing cumbersome conventional window treatments on the market as needed or desired, for a small fraction of the cost. These options do not affect the efficiency of the Vacuum/Forced active thermal fluid insulation values.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages will appear from the description to follow. In the description reference is made to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments will be described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

Meanwhile, the reservoir 5 is fully filled with light colour fluid 5 a, it is readily available for its turn, while the pre-treated “permanent” pressurized vacuumed cavity 7 d of body 7 b remains in tact.
FIG. 6S shows the un-obscured triple pane glass VIP 13 with dual body/cavity incorporated with the mechanical apparatus. As illustrated, connected programmable pumping and controlling devices, and the dual reservoir is filled with fluids. 15 a illustrates the stage of the cavity of the body 13 a is in “repeat at will” pressurized vacuumed condition by withdrawing the darker colour fluid 10 a, at this point the fluid 10 a is being pumped back and retained in the reservoir 10, and shown that it is full. The light colour fluid 9 a also remains in the reservoir 9 in full. The dual body/cavity of the triple pane VIP 13 at this stage are both in pressurized vacuumed condition. One is “permanent” vacuumed condition & the other is functioning as “repeat at will” vacuumed condition. A double pressurized vacuum insulation panel VIP 13 is created within one triple pane glass body and transformed into an unique window unit.
FIG. 6T depicts the triple pane glass VIP 7 that is incorporated with the mechanical apparatus and the thermal apparatus as it becomes one window system. 8 illustrates the heat or cold thermal exchanger depending on climate condition, 8 a is the thermal transfer line for fluid 6 a and 8 b is the thermal transfer line for fluid 5 a.
FIG. 6U shows the side & front view a double pane glass VIP 9 to be implemented as an insulation member for doors; 9 a is the pre-treated vacuum cavity and 9 b is the opening for door knock. This double pane glass door VIP 9 is to be inserted in the exist metal door frame to become an efficient insulation member which is one of the weakest point in terms of negative thermal transfer.
