摘要:
The present invention is directed to an implantable medical device. The implantable medical device includes an optical member formed through diffusion bonding. In one embodiment, the optical member includes a window coupled to a ferrule through a joint that does not include gold.
摘要:
The oxides-enclosed fine glass particles are arranged such that two or more pieces of at least two kinds of enclosing particles, which comprise oxides, double oxides, or salts of oxyacids, or double oxides or double salts thereof, are enclosed in each of the fine glass particles. The fine particles can be easily manufactured by mixing a powder material of glass with a powder material of oxides which comprise oxides, double oxides, or salts of oxyacids, or double oxides or double salts thereof that are not made to glass; converting the thus obtained mixture of the materials into a mixture in a vapor-state by supplying the thermal plasma thereto; and quickly cooling the mixture in the vapor-state. Highly-scattered fine particles of oxides can be easily obtained from the fine particles, and thus a plurality of kinds of fine particles of oxides can be evenly and uniformly mixed in a small amount with a mother material without being unevenly scattered.
摘要:
A glass substrate having a surface which has been leveled, preferably to a flatness of 0.04-1.3 nm/cm 2 of the surface, by local plasma etching is provided. A glass substrate whose surface carries microscopic peaks and valleys is leveled by measuring the height of peaks and valleys on the substrate surface, and plasma etching the substrate surface while controlling the amount of plasma etching in accordance with the height of peaks.

摘要:
A method of making a glass multiwell plate (10) for use in biological or chemical laboratory applications whereby the plate is formed by a single ribbon of molten glass (26, 38) passing twice over a mold (28) such that the first section of glass (26) takes the form of the mold (28) and thereby forms the wells of the plate (12) while the second section of glass (38) covers the wells and forms a top surface of the plate. Holes (14) are cut through the top surface, above each well (12) to enable access.
摘要:
Non-spherical bodies (18) having a circular cross-section that is 0.5-200 microns in diameter and that are longer than the cross-sectional diameter, and a method of making such bodies by reshaping non-spherical bodies. The method comprises positioning a monolayer (16) of unsintered, deformable, spherical bodies between smooth facing surfaces (20,22) on two flat (12,14) formers, and applying a mild shearing force to at least one of the formers (12,14).
摘要:
An improved quality vitreous silica body and/or improved quality product made at high temperature in a vitreous silica vessel is/are obtained by applying a polarising potential across the boundary surfaces of the vitreous silica body or vessel to cause migration of impurity ions away from one of the boundary surfaces thereof. Single crystal silicon (10) of reduced alkali content is drawn from melt (12) in a vitreous silica crucible (14) with a polarising voltage applied across the wall of the crucible.
摘要:
A method for forming articles which include silica-containing glass bodies, as well as the resulting articles, are disclosed. In accordance with the method, silica-containing gel particles are fused to form a glass body. In contrast to previous such methods, these particles are formed by mechanically, substantially uniformly subdividing either a substantially cohesive gel body, or an ungelled or partially gelled sol capable of yielding a substantially cohesive gel body, to form substantially uniformly sized, wet gel particles. Significantly, only substantially cohesive gel bodies which are also substantially elastic are useful in the invention, i.e., mechanical subdivision of non-elastic gel bodies results in these bodies undergoing plastic flow to yield non-particulate, pasty masses.
