  • Patent number: 8097107
    Abstract: A glass sheet assembly including a first glass sheet arranged in an opposing parallel configuration with respect to a second glass sheet is provided, with a heat sensitive layer of adhesive laminating film disposed between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet, the glass sheet assembly having a leading edge and a trailing edge and being of a fixed length and width, the laminating film having a bonding temperature at which melting of the laminating film is initiated. The glass sheet assembly is heated using an array of heating elements so as to cause differential heating along the length of the glass sheet assembly such that the temperature at the leading edge of the glass sheet assembly is higher than the temperature at the trailing edge of the glass sheet assembly with uniform heating across the width of the glass sheet assembly.

  • Publication number: 20040078323
    Abstract: A method of quality control for loan processing employing a quality assurance shopper. The shopper is flagged in the loan processing system so that the shopper advances through the loan application and decision process without adversely affecting the individual's credit history or real property. A credit bureau is fabricated for the quality assurance shopper in the loan processing system based on a pre-determined test scenario and an existing customer's credit information. To facilitate the loan decision process, the shopper's real estate information is requested from a service company. The service company cooperates with the lender by processing quality assurance shopper flagged orders separately from other received orders. Elements of the quality assurance shopper's information are used to look up recently filled real estate information requests. Fabricated property information for the quality assurance shopper is returned to the lender.
