20120176490 | System And Method For Analyzing Sheet Interleaving Material - Embodiments provide for analyzing interleaving material applied to sheets of material traveling along a conveyor. A system is provided that includes a cross-conveyor support frame and a camera system to capture images of the interleaving material upon the sheets. The camera system may optionally include a movable camera head that travels along the support frame to capture images at multiple positions along substantially the entire width of the conveyor. A control module is provided that includes a processor programmed with instructions for analyzing the interleaving material based on the images. In some cases the analyzing includes receiving the images of the interleaving material from the camera system, assessing coverage of the interleaving material upon the sheets of material from the images, determining adjustments for application of the interleaving material based on the assessed coverage, and/or communicating the adjustments to an interleaving material applicator. | 07-12-2012 |
20120144867 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING PATTERNED HEAT-STRENGTHENED GLASS - This disclosure relates to a method of patterning glass substrate in a glass heat-strengthening line and the resulting patterned heat-strengthened glass. Such patterned heat-strengthened glass substrates are useful, for example, in glass-based solar cells. | 06-14-2012 |
20120132269 | GLASS SUBSTRATES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS - A glass substrate may be processed at high temperatures without substantially losing its thermal-strengthening characteristics or deforming. In some examples, the glass substrate exhibits an increased annealing point and/or softening point as compared to standard glass substrates. In some examples, the glass substrate includes a relatively high amount of CaO and/or MgO, and/or a relatively low amount of Na | 05-31-2012 |
20110271717 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF GLASS TRANSMITTANCE - This application relates to methods of making glass compositions, and glasses resulting from these methods. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a method of making a glass having high total solar transmittance and high light transmittance in the visible and near infrared ranges with the use of oxygen-fuel burners in a furnace. Such glass compositions are useful, for example, in glass-based solar cells. | 11-10-2011 |
