Patent number: 9034458Abstract: An edge-protected product and finishing method therefor. The product comprises a first we and a second web bonded intermittently to the peripheral regions of a major surface of the sheet material to be protected. The bonded webs provide the desired level of protection to the peripheral regions and the edge surfaces of the sheet material. The intermittent bonding allows for the clean and convenient separation of the sheet material and the webs that a continuously bonded web would not be able to provide. Where laser cutting is used to separate the protected product, the edge-protected product with intermittent bonding areas allows for the separation without laser irradiation to the web material, thus no generation of toxic fume or charring due to oxidation, melting and/or disintegration of the web material caused by laser heating. The invention is particularly useful for protecting thin glass sheets, especially those in the form of a spool.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventor: Xinghua Li

Patent number: 8932701Abstract: An optical sheet suitable for use in a laminate comprising at least one glazing component. The optical sheet comprises a non-metallic multi-layer optical film that has multiple optical layers, and can be, for example, a solar energy reflective film (e.g., an infrared radiation reflective film). The multiple layers are thermally and/or otherwise fused together along all, substantially all or at least a substantial portion of the peripheral edge of at least the optical film, so as to prevent or at least substantially reduce the occurrence or degree of delamination of the multiple layers along all, substantially all, or the substantial portion of the peripheral edge of the optical film.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Heather K. Kranz, Jeffrey A. Boettcher, Janet R. Kirkman, Peter T. Dietz

Patent number: 8927090Abstract: A method for bonding a first body (2) to a second, panel-shaped body (3) at bonding surfaces (2a, 3a) lying opposite each other, the second body (3) projecting in at least one direction (X) beyond an edge (2?) of the first body (2). The method includes: producing a plurality of spacers (4a to 4e, 4a? to 4e?) on at least one of the bonding surfaces (2a), applying adhesive (5) into intermediate spaces (6a to 6d) between the spacers beyond an outer spacer (4e, 4e?) as far as an adhesive periphery (5a), which is formed at an edge (2?) of the first body (2), and bonding the bodies (2, 3) by bringing the bonding surfaces (2a, 3a) into contact at the spacers (4a? to 4e?). A prescribed distance (d) between the adhesive periphery (5a) and the outermost spacer (4e) is set to provide a desired state of deformation of the panel-shaped body (3) after a shrinkage of the applied adhesive (5) (e.g. minimized bending of the body.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Carl Zeiss SMT GmbHInventors: Hin Yiu Anthony Chung, Dirk Schaffer

Patent number: 8927094Abstract: A printed article includes a base material, a first printed layer, a second printed layer, and a third printed layer. The first printed layer is printed with a first ink in a first area of the base material. The second printed layer is printed with a second ink in a second area different from the first area of the base material. The second ink is different in a property or function from the first ink and having a color difference with respect to the first ink. The third printed layer is printed with a third ink, and covers or fills a boundary between the first printed layer and the second printed layer, and has a color difference with respect to the first printed layer and the second printed layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Keigo Sugai
