Publication number: 20170158547Abstract: A method of bending a glass sheet includes placing the glass sheet on a support and heating the entire glass sheet to a first viscosity. A band of heat is applied and translated along the selected region of the glass sheet in which a predetermined is to be formed over a time period to form the predetermined in the selected region. The band of heat sectionally heats the selected region to a second viscosity that is lower than the first viscosity. An actuated force is applied to the glass sheet to incrementally form the predetermined bend in the selected region according to the location of the band of heat in the selected region.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Thierry Luc Alain Dannoux, Paul Louis Florent Delautre, Patrick Jean Pierre Herve, Laurent Joubaud, Stephane Poissy

Patent number: 9334187Abstract: A reformable area and a non-reformable area of a sheet of glass material are heated to a first temperature corresponding to a first viscosity. The reformable area is subsequently locally heated to a second temperature corresponding to a second viscosity, where the second viscosity is lower than the first viscosity. A bend is formed in the reformable area during the local heating of the reformable area by contacting a first pusher with the non-reformable area and translating the first pusher along a linear path to apply a pushing force to the non-reformable area that results in the bend in the reformable area or by contacting a second pusher with an edge area of the reformable area and rotating the pusher along a circular path to apply a pushing force to the edge area of the reformable area that results in the bend in the reformable area.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Thierry Luc Alain Dannoux, Arnaud Dejean, Paul Louis Florent Delautre, Allan Mark Fredholm, Laurent Joubaud, Stephane Poissy

Patent number: 8636964Abstract: An end-face sealing fluidic connector for fluidic connection and/or interconnection of glass, glass-ceramic and/or ceramic fluidic modules in a microreactor includes a connector body having a circular first end face with a recess for retaining one or more O-rings and a first end section having a circular cylindrical outeT surface and a diameter In the range of from 3 to 25 mm. The outer surface has a circumferential recess dividing the first end section into a proximal portion adjacent the first end face and a distal portion. A retaining ring is seated in the circumferential recess and a protecting ring coinpming a high-compression-strength polymer surrounds the proximal portion of the first end section. A circular cylindrical sleeve surrounds the first end section and the reinforcing and/or protecting ring, the sleeve including a circumferentially extending inside bearing surface for engaging the retaining ring on the distal side thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2011Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Pierre Brunello, Paul Louis Florent Delautre, Sylvain Maxime F Gremetz, Olivier Lobet
