Publication number: 20120175558Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing porous glass particles suitable for use as precursor materials for production of an opto-ceramic element. The process comprises: providing particles of a soluble glass composition comprising at least one soluble component, at least one component having low solubility in an aqueous solution, and at least one lasing dopant which also has a low solubility in the aqueous solution; and immersing the particles in an aqueous solution having low solubility for said at least one component and said at least one lasing dopant, to thereby dissolve substantially all of the soluble portions of the glass particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2007Publication date: July 12, 2012Inventors: Samuel David Conzone, Carol Click

Publication number: 20110177955Abstract: A multiplexed assay method capable of measuring the interaction of one or more protein, polypeptide or peptide solutions with one or more substrate surfaces comprises contacting each of the wells of a multiwell substrate with the same or different protein solution, the surfaces of said wells being the same as that of said substrate or being substrate surface treated and/or coated to provide test surfaces, and determining the level of protein adsorption in each of said wells.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Luis Alberto Burzio, Samuel David Conzone, Daniel Edward Haines, Robert Hormes, Horst Koller, Joachim Pfeifer

Patent number: 7208060Abstract: A method for the low temperature joining of similar and/or different phosphate glass by mating at low temperature glass components by an aqueous solution containing phosphorus. In preferred embodiments, the phosphate glasses are polished, cleaned, and brought together with the phosphate-containing solution between the polished surfaces. Vacuum may be applied to assist in making the joint. The composite is optionally heat treated to increase strength, chemical durability, and optical performance. The bond thereby formed has low birefringence, is strong, and is virtually photonically invisible. The joints now make possible, for example, substrates for virtually no loss signal splitters and other high-end optical components at low cost. Large hybrid performs substrates composed of multiple glass components may be prepared and segmented, providing an inexpensive novel substrate for the photonics industry.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: Schott, AGInventors: Samuel David Conzone, Joseph S. Hayden, Alexander J. Marker, III

Patent number: 6865318Abstract: Athermal optical components comprise cubic crystalline materials including silver chloride and cesium bromide, or comprise composites of at least two layers of different compositions wherein the total optical pathlength, nL, across said layers is essentially independent of temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Schott Glass Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Hayden, Samuel David Conzone, Alexander J.

Publication number: 20040247826Abstract: A method for joining glass ceramic surfaces to each other and/or other types of surfaces using a silicate liquid is disclosed. The products are suitable for use as, e.g. mirror blanks or microlithography stages, at low temperatures. Component pieces are polished then joined at low temperature using a silicate-containing joining liquid. Assembly is then performed in such a way that the joining liquid forms an interface between each component. After a period of low or slightly elevated temperature curing, rigid joints are formed throughout and the composite is dimensionally, vibrationally, and temperature stable and can withstand tensile stresses >4000 psi. The room-temperature cured composite can be heat treated using a slow, systematic temperature increase to dehydrate the joints. A sealing coating may optionally be provided to prevent excess dried joining liquid from flaking off the formed joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2003Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Samuel David Conzone, Alexander J Marker, Joseph S Hayden, Robert D Simpson
