  • Method for making glass tubing with multiple bores
    Patent number: 6810691
    Abstract: A method of making glass tubing includes assembling together a first glass rod having at least one bore and a second glass rod having at least one bore to form a single glass unit, shaping an outer surface of the glass unit to a desired cross-section, and drawing the glass unit to form a glass tubing having a predetermined outer and inner dimension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2004
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
    Inventors: James Gerard Fagan, David J. Gokey, Nikki J. Russo

  • Method for producing fused silica and doped fused silica glass
    Patent number: 6606883
    Abstract: A method for forming a fused silica glass includes delivering a silica precursor to a burner and passing the silica precursor through the flame of the burner to form silica particles, depositing the silica particles on a planar surface to form a flat, porous preform, dehydrating the porous preform, and consolidating the porous preform into a flat, dense glass.

  • Method for producing titania-doped fused silica glass
    Publication number: 20020157421
    Abstract: A method for producing a fused silica glass containing titania includes synthesizing particles of silica and titania by delivering a mixture of a silica precursor and a titania precursor to a burner, growing a porous preform by successively depositing the particles on a deposition surface while rotating and translating the deposition surface relative to the burner, and consolidating the porous preform into a dense glass.

  • Ophthalmic lens method
    Patent number: 5232637
    Abstract: A method of producing a glass-plastic, laminated, ophthalmic lens structure in a continuous operation. A thin, flexible, plastic adhesive layer is applied to a glass element to form a composite body that is inserted in a cylindrical gasket in such manner as to fit snugly and be sealed from the ambient. A monomeric formulation is flowed onto the adhesive layer and cured to form a laminated lens blank.
