Patent number: 11827559Abstract: Frangible glass articles having a fracture behavior that resists ejection of glass particles upon fracture. In some embodiments, the frangible glass articles can have a first surface region with a first elastic compressive stress energy per unit area of glass (Welcomp1), a second surface region with a second elastic compressive stress energy per unit area of glass (Welcomp2), and a central region with an elastic tensile stress energy per unit area of glass (WT), where (Welcomp1+Welcomp2)?WT?25 J/m2. In some embodiments, the frangible glass articles can have a total load ratio (Wi/GD) less than 6.5 and a total elastic compressive stress energy per unit area of glass (WC) less than 60% of a total load (Wi), where: WC=Welcomp1+Welcomp2, Wi=WC+WT, GD=4G1C, and G 1 ? C = K 1 ? C 2 ? ( 1 - v 2 ) E . In some embodiments, the frangible glass articles can have a differential load ratio (Wd/GIC) less than 7 ? 2 ? e ( - 1 ? 2 ? d ? 1 t ) .Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Jason Thomas Harris, Joshua James McCaslin, Naveen Prakash, Vitor Marino Schneider, Charandeep Singh, Ross Johnson Stewart

Publication number: 20230108211Abstract: A microfluidic chip that can have a body defining a microfluidic network including a test volume, one or more ports, and one or more channels in fluid communication between the port(s) and the test volume. Gas can be removed from the test volume before a sample liquid is introduced therein by reducing pressure at a first one of the port(s), optionally while the liquid is disposed in the port. Liquid in the first port can be introduced into the test volume by increasing pressure at the first port. The microfluidic network can define one or more droplet-generating regions in which at least one of the channel(s) defines a constriction and/or two or more of the channels connect at a junction. Liquid flowing from the first port can pass through at least one of the droplet-generating region(s) and to the test volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Nicolas ARAB, Ross JOHNSON, David BUSSIAN, Jon ISOM
