Abstract: Managing pressure within a thickness-control-zone (muffle door) housing relative to pressures in a glass-making machine enclosure and an upper chamber that is disposed outside the enclosure so as to minimize or control undesired airflows that would adversely affect thickness of glass ribbon. According to one pressure management technique, the pressure at a location in the housing is managed so as to be less than the pressure at a location that is within the enclosure as well as both outside and adjacent to the housing. In the event of a leak, as by a crack or unintended opening in the housing, for example, this pressure difference reduces or prevents airflow toward the ribbon and, thereby, undesired thickness variation in the ribbon. According to a second pressure-management technique, the pressure at the location is managed so as to be greater than the pressure in the upper chamber.

Abstract: Managing pressure within a thickness-control-zone (muffle door) housing (20) relative to pressures in a glass-making machine enclosure (60) and an upper chamber (40)—that is disposed outside the enclosure—so as to minimize or control undesired airflows that would adversely affect thickness (9) of glass ribbon (8). According to one pressure-management technique, the pressure at a location (25) in the housing (20) is managed so as to be less than the pressure at a location (65) that is within the enclosure (60) as well as both outside and adjacent to the housing. In the event of a leak, as by a crack or unintended opening in the housing, for example, this pressure difference reduces or prevents airflow toward the ribbon and, thereby, undesired thickness variation in the ribbon. According to a second pressure-management technique, the pressure at location (25) is managed so as to be greater than the pressure in the upper chamber.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to apparatuses for producing a glass ribbon, the apparatuses comprising a forming body (100) comprising an upper trough-shaped portion comprising two trough walls and a trough bottom; a lower wedge-shaped portion; a delivery end configured to receive molten glass; and a compression end (237) comprising a curb (243); and an end cap (205) coupled to the compression end (237) and extending over a top surface of the curb (243), wherein a height of the curb (243) is greater than a height of the two trough walls at a point proximate the compression end (237). Also disclosed herein are methods for producing a glass ribbon using such apparatuses. This minimizes glass flow into the end cap and over the compression end of the forming body and minimizes formations of gobs.

Abstract: A non-polished glass wafer, a thinning system, and a method for using the non-polished glass wafer to thin a semiconductor wafer are described herein. In one embodiment, the glass wafer has a body (e.g., circular body) including a non-polished first surface and a non-polished second surface substantially parallel to each other. In addition, the circular body has a wafer quality index which is equal to a total thickness variation in micrometers plus one-tenth of a warp in micrometers that is less than 6.0.
