Patent number: 6220055Abstract: A composite glass article having a chemically modified ceramic surface whose coefficient of thermal expansion is lower than that of the glass substrate is produced by exposing the glass article maintained at a temperature above its annealing point (typically 500° C.) and below its softening point (soda-lime about 725° C.; borosilicate about 800° C.) to an atmosphere containing prescribed metalorganic compounds. The chemically modified ceramic surface in maintained in compression and is a ceramic consisting of members from a specific group of oxides dependent upon the type of glass comprising the substrate. The method for forming the glass composite article includes applying the metalorganic mixture while the glass substrate is maintained at a temperature above its annealing point (typically 500° C.) and below its softening point (soda-lime about 725° C.; borosilicate about 800° C.) to an atmosphere containing prescribed metalorganic compounds.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Inventors: Josef Francel, Charles P. Duck

Patent number: 4018717Abstract: Internal arcing in a cathode ray tube is substantially prevented by coating a portion of the interior of the funnel and neck of the tube with an electrically conductive composition, and coating a portion of the interior of the funnel and neck of the tube with an electrically resistive composition. The electrically conductive composition comprises about 10-30 weight percent iron and about 90-70 weight percent of a glass frit. The electrically resistive composition comprises about 8-24 weight percent iron, about 2-8 weight percent TiO.sub.2 and about 90-68 weight percent glass frit. The use of conventional "dag" coatings is eliminated. The cathode ray tube is especially useful as a picture tube in a color television receiver in which high operating voltages are employed.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1975Date of Patent: April 19, 1977Assignee: Owens-Illinois, Inc.Inventors: Josef Francel, Galen D.

Patent number: 3954486Abstract: Disclosed is a physical blend of particulate lead borate sealing glass and particulate refractory filler for use in forming thermal fusion seals for workpieces having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the sealing glass. The particulate refractory filler has a particle size diameter in excess of about 37 microns (i.e. plus 400 U.S. Sieve) to lower the expansion while maintaining adequate flow during fusion. The blend is especially useful as a package sealant for electronic components.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1974Date of Patent: May 4, 1976Assignee: Owens-Illinois, Inc.Inventors: Josef Francel, Robert F.
