Patent number: 8826696Abstract: A spray nozzle is used in a process of quenching a hot glass sheet during a laser scoring process or other high energy glass heating process. The nozzle is located in proximity to the glass sheet, creating gas in the liquid used to quench the glass while in the nozzle. The gas is removed from the quenching liquid. Then, the spray nozzle is used to spray the quenching liquid onto the sheet at a location trailing laser scoring of the sheet. The spray nozzle has a purge opening and tubing leading to a discharge location, and can have a sloped passageway that pre-stages gas bubbles near the purge opening. The spray nozzle can include a cooling coil passing around the nozzle passageway to cool the quenching liquid passing through the nozzle, and increase the solubility of bubbles in the quenching liquid.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: James William Brown, Patrick Michael Gargano, Keith Mitchell Hill, Xinghua Li, William Paul Ryszytiwskyj, Naiyue Zhou

The gas (e.g., air bubbles) is removed from the quenching liquid. Then, the spray nozzle is used to spray the quenching liquid onto the sheet at a location trailing laser scoring of the sheet, such as using a traveling anvil machine at the bottom of the draw. The spray nozzle (purge nozzle) has a purge opening and tubing leading to a discharge location. The purge nozzle can have a sloped passageway that pre-stages gas bubbles near the purge opening in the nozzle. The spray nozzle can include a cooling coil passing around the nozzle passageway that enables a coolant to travel along the coil.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: James William Brown, Patrick Michael Gargano, Keith Mitchell Hill, Xinghua Li, William Paul Ryszytiwskyj, Naiyue Zhou

Patent number: 7922951Abstract: Methods and apparatus for plugging cells of honeycomb structures are disclosed. A first method covers the honeycomb structure's end face with a mask having a body and plurality of sized openings positioned to oppose certain cell channels, wherein the outer edge of the body extends radially outwardly from the end face. A film also extends outwardly of the end face, and a plug of material is provided upon the film. The mask and film material are sealed to one another, and a force is applied to the film forcing the material through the mask and into the cells. Also disclosed is adhering a mask to a first end face of the honeycomb structure such that the mask has an outer portion that extends radially beyond an outer edge of the honeycomb; providing a volume of plugging material; clamping the outer portion between a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion; and transferring the plugging material into the honeycomb.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: James Raymond Mudd, Robert Alan Powell, William Paul Ryszytiwskyj, Jason Edward Schoonmaker, Richard Henry Weachock

Patent number: 7674309Abstract: A apparatus and method for detecting defects in a honeycomb body. In operation, the particulates emerge at an outlet end face of the honeycomb body through defects, if any, in the honeycomb walls and/or plugs and passes though a permeable member, such as a screen, where they are illuminated. The permeable member is disposed adjacent to and preferably in contact with the outlet end. Use of the permeable member improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) such that defects may be more readily detected. The permeable member preferably includes an anti-reflective surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Patrick Michael Gargano, Babak Robert Raj, William Paul Ryszytiwskyj, John Charles Speeckaert, David John Worthey

Patent number: 7648549Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for detecting defects in a honeycomb body. The system and apparatus include a fixture adapted to hold the honeycomb body, a particulate fluid source, a pipe which defines a flow path between the particulate fluid source and a first end face of the honeycomb body thereby allowing particulate fluid to flow from the particulate fluid source to the first end face of the honeycomb body. The particulate fluid emerges at a second end face of the honeycomb body through defects, if any, in the honeycomb body where the positions of such defects may be monitored. The system and apparatus includes a flow straightener disposed in the flow path to minimize boundary layer influence of the pipe on the flow of the particulate fluid. A substantially uniform velocity flow profile is provided to the first end face of the honeycomb body.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Patrick Michael Gargano, Babak Robert Raj, William Paul Ryszytiwskyj, Michael George Shultz, David John Worthey, Leon Robert Zoeller, III
