Abstract: The invention relates to opaque, colored glass-ceramic articles and to the production of opaque, colored glass-ceramic articles which can be readily formed to a desired shape using standard metal-working tools. The glass-ceramic material used to make such articles contains mica crystals as the predominant phase. The desired color is obtained through the addition of a colorant system to the precursor glass. In a particular embodiment the invention is directed to a black glass-ceramic article, the black color being obtained by the addition of iron oxides in levels as high as 20 wt %, which can yield a glass-ceramic having an iron-rice mica phase and/or a glass ceramic having an iron-rich mica phase plus an iron oxide phase.

Abstract: A pump for pumping fluid comprises a pump housing which comprises a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a pumping chamber fluidly connected to the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. Within the pumping chamber is provided a rotatable impeller for drawing fluid from the inlet and displacing the fluid out of the fluid outlet. The pump also comprises a drive source adapted to generate a drive force for rotating the impeller; a drivetrain assembly coupling the drive source to the impeller so as to transmit the drive force to the impeller, wherein the drivetrain assembly comprises a rotatable element arranged between the drive source and the impeller so as to transmit the drive force. The pump also includes an an ancillary device comprising a rotatable input element and the rotatable element of the drivetrain assembly is arranged such that it can be coupled to the rotatable input element of the ancillary device by an endless flexible mechanical element and thereby drive the rotatable input element when coupled by an endless flexible mechanical element. Additionally, the drive source, the drivetrain assembly and the impeller define a plurality of transmission elements and a pair of the transmission elements are spaced apart. The drivetrain assembly also comprises a moveable connecting element for coupling the spaced apart transmission elements, the moveable connecting element being moveable between: a first position in which the spaced apart transmission elements are coupled so as to enable the drive force to be transmitted from the drive source to the impeller; and a second position in which a gap is formed for allowing an endless flexible mechanical element to be threaded between the spaced apart transmission elements to allow the endless flexible mechanical element to couple the rotatable element and the rotatable input element of the ancillary device.

Abstract: A method of forming a shaped glass article includes placing a glass sheet on a mold such that a first glass area of the glass sheet corresponds to a first mold surface area of the mold and a second glass area of the glass sheet corresponds to a second mold surface area of the mold. The first glass area and the second glass area are heated such that the viscosity of the second glass area is 8 poise or more lower than the viscosity of the first glass area. A force is applied to the glass sheet to conform the glass sheet to the mold surface. During the heating of the second glass area, the first mold surface area is locally cooled to induce a thermal gradient on the mold.

Abstract: A direct wafer bonding process for joining GaN and silicon substrates involves pre-treating each of the wafers in an ammonia plasma in order to render the respective contact surfaces ammophilic. The GaN substrate and the silicon substrate may each comprise single crystal wafers. The resulting hybrid semiconductor structure can be used to form high quality, low cost LEDs.

Abstract: A strengthened glass or glass-ceramic sheet or article as well as processes and systems for making the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic sheet or article is provided. The process comprises cooling the glass sheet by non-contact thermal conduction for sufficiently long to fix a surface compression and central tension of the sheet. The process results in thermally strengthened glass sheets.
