Abstract: A method of plugging a honeycomb body is disclosed herein, the method comprising: contacting a first end of the honeycomb body comprising a plurality of channels with a light curable sealing mixture such that an infiltrate of the light curable sealing mixture flows into the plurality of channels proximate the first end; emitting a light toward a first portion of the infiltrate within the plurality channels of the filter; and curing the first portion of the infiltrate within the channels with the light to form a plurality of seals.

Abstract: A substrate with coated edge surfaces, an apparatus for performing the coating, and a method therefor are described. The substrate may include edge surface electrical connectors, wherein the edge coating is coated overtop the edge surface electrical connectors. The apparatus for performing the coating operation includes a rotary fixture configured to facilitate coating of all edge surfaces of a stack of substrate prior to curing of the edge surface coating, wherein according to the method, edge surfaces of one group of corresponding edge surfaces in the stack are coated with a coating material, the rotary fixture is then rotated to position a second group of edge surfaces for coating, and so forth. The coating process is controlled to obtain a consistent overflow onto major surfaces of the stacked substrates.

Abstract: An edge conductor includes a first portion electrically connected to a first conductor on a first surface of a substrate, a second portion electrically connected to a second conductor on a second surface of the substrate, a third portion extending between the first portion and the second portion along an edge of the substrate, and a coating covering at least a portion of the third portion of the edge conductor, where the second surface of the substrate is opposite the first surface of the substrate, and the edge of the substrate extends between the first surface of the substrate and the second surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Processes and devices by which a brittle material substrate may be edge formed and finished to simultaneously remove corresponding damage remaining on the edges in the areas formed by cutting and separation while imposing a desired edge profile and achieving a desired mechanical edge strength. Processes of the present disclosure may include a chemical and mechanical brush polishing process configured to shape and/or polish a surface of one or more thin substrates. A plurality of substrates may be arranged in a stacked configuration, and engineered interposer devices may be arranged between the stacked substrates. The interposers may provide between the substrates and may direct filament placement during brushing so as to guide material removal on the substrate edges. Substrate edge profile shapes, including symmetric and asymmetric profiles, may be formed by strategic manipulation of interposer properties including dimensions, mechanical features, material properties, and positioning.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are glass articles and methods of manufacturing the same. The glass articles may include a glass layer comprising a first portion having a first thickness, a second portion having a second thickness, and a third portion disposed in between the first portion and the second portion. The third portion may form a living hinge. The living hinge may comprise a plurality of indentations such that a majority of the third portion has a third thickness that is less than the first thickness and the second thickness. In addition, the living hinge may comprise a plurality of protrusions such that a majority of the third portion has a third thickness that is greater than the first thickness and the second thickness.

Abstract: A method of plugging a honeycomb body is disclosed herein, the method comprising: contacting a first end of the honeycomb body comprising a plurality of channels with a light curable sealing mixture such that an infiltrate of the light curable sealing mixture flows into the plurality of channels proximate the first end; emitting a light toward a first portion of the infiltrate within the plurality channels of the filter; and curing the first portion of the infiltrate within the channels with the light to form a plurality of seals.

Abstract: A glass article manufacturing system (10) includes a crucible (38) that defines a barrel (46) and a nozzle (54). The barrel (46) accepts a glass feedstock (62). A heater 66 is in thermal communication with the nozzle (54). The heater 66 heats the feedstock (62) within the nozzle (54). An actuator (22) is positioned proximate the barrel (46) and extrudes the feedstock (62) through the nozzle (54) as extruded feedstock.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses for screen printing on a surface of a three-dimensional substrate comprising a substantially rigid, substantially planar frame having a perimeter defining a region within the perimeter having a given surface area; and a screen attached to the frame and extending across at least a portion of the surface area, wherein the screen comprises a first portion through which a liquid printing medium can pass onto a proximate three-dimensional substrate; and a second portion coated with an emulsion substantially preventing the liquid printing medium from passing through the second portion of the screen, wherein the screen has a fixed tension of less than about 20 N/cm. Methods and systems for screen printing on a surface of a three-dimensional substrate are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are squeegee apparatuses and methods and systems for screen printing on a surface of a substrate comprising the disclosed squeegee apparatus and a framed screen.
