Abstract:

An apparatus for sealing a substrate assembly by applying a force to the assembly while simultaneously exposing the substrate assembly, and in particular a sealing material disposed between two substrates of the substrate assembly, to an irradiating beam of electromagnetic energy. The beam heats, cures and/or melts the sealing material, depending upon the sealing material to form the seal. The force is applied by directing a flow of fluid against the substrate assembly, and beneficially improves contact between the substrates of the substrate assembly and the sealing material during the sealing process, therefore assisting in achieving a hermetic seal between the substrates.

International Classification:

B01J 8/06

US Classification:

422651, 422653, 29890, 29434

Abstract:

Multi-tubular reactors for fluid processing incorporate reactor tubes containing thermally conductive monolithic catalyst structures with relative dimensions and thermal expansion characteristics effective to establish both a non-interfering or slidably interfering fit between the monolith structures and the reactor tubes at selected monolith mounting temperatures, and geometries at reactor operating temperatures such that the operating gaps between tubes and monoliths under the conditions of reactor operation do not exceed about 250 μm over tube sections where high heat flux to or from the monoliths is required.

International Classification:

G01B 11/00

US Classification:

356401

Abstract:

A method of sealing a glass package comprising providing a first glass substrate, the first substrate having first and second alignment marks. A second glass substrate having third and fourth alignment marks is aligned to the first substrate by translating the first substrate relative to the second substrate, and aligning the second and fourth alignment marks by rotating the first substrate relative to the second substrate.

International Classification:

C04B 35/64

US Classification:

264630

Abstract:

A method is provided for marking a structure containing an ceramic-forming component by applying onto a green body a high temperature ink that has a metal-containing species and a metal complexing agent, wherein the metal in the metal-containing species reacts with the ceramic-forming component during firing of the green body to produce a compound that forms a contrasting mark on the resulting ceramic structure. A method is also provided for marking a ceramic-forming green body by applying a two-dimensional dot matrix mark formed of a high temperature ink onto a surface of the ceramic-forming green body, wherein each dot of the two-dimensional dot matrix is formed of a single drop of the high temperature ink.

International Classification:

B66C 1/02

US Classification:

414191, 414800

Abstract:

A system for picking and placing glass articles from a first location to a second location, the second location including a thermal reforming apparatus for transforming the glass articles from 2D glass articles to 3D glass articles includes a robot having an end effector, the end effector including a compliance assembly having at least six degrees of freedom. The compliance assembly is in fluid communication with both an open pneumatic system and a closed pneumatic system, the open pneumatic system providing a partial vacuum to a portion of the compliance assembly for grabbing the glass article, and the closed pneumatic system for activating a centering function for a portion of the compliance assembly.
