    Abstract: A shaped article can include a substrate formed from a glass material, a glass ceramic material, or a combination thereof and a cavity formed in the substrate. A sidewall of the cavity can have a random textured surface with a surface roughness of less than or equal to 300 nm. A method of machining a protrusion in a graphite block can include translating a cutting tool in a first longitudinal direction toward the graphite block to engage the graphite block with the cutting tool while rotating the cutting tool about a rotational axis without translating the cutting tool in a lateral direction, then translating the cutting tool in a second longitudinal direction away from the graphite block without translating the cutting tool in the lateral direction to disengage the cutting tool from the graphite block. A shaped article can be formed by pressing a preform with a monolithic graphite mold.

    Abstract: A glass sleeve assembly for a portable electronic device may comprise a glass sleeve extending longitudinally from a first opening defined by a first rim to a second opening defined by a second rim. The glass sleeve may have an internal surface. A first end cap may be positioned adjacent to the first opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the first rim. A second end cap may be positioned adjacent to the second opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the second rim. A frame may comprise first and second ends and a central portion between the first and second ends. The central portion may be located within the glass sleeve. The ends of the frame may be connected to the end caps. Shock absorbing interlayers may be mounted to the end caps and the glass sleeve.

    Abstract: A high load, high temperature compatible bearing assembly (200) includes a shaft (208) formed of refractory steel or high temperature alloy. A roller (204) formed of refractory steel or high temperature alloy receives the shaft (208) within a bore (220) in the roller (204). At least one bearing ring (212) formed of ceramic is disposed between the shaft (208) and the roller (204). The bearing ring (212) cooperates with the roller (204) to permit the roller (204) to freely rotate around the shaft (208).

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for modification of a work-piece at elevated temperatures. A carrier may be provided and operable to support the work-piece. A support mechanism may be provided that is movable via gross translation between a retracted position such that a distal end thereof is away from the carrier, and an extended position such that the distal end thereof is at least proximate to the carrier. A work-piece modification system may be coupled to, and disposed proximate to, the distal end of the support mechanism, and operating to facilitate modifying the work-piece at an elevated temperature. A precision tuning mechanism may couple the work-piece modification system to the support mechanism, and may operate to provide fine adjustments to an orientation, and a distance, of the work-piece modification system relative to the work-piece.

    Abstract: A glass tube making apparatus comprises a forming device with a shaping member positioned within a downstream portion of an outer tube. In further examples, methods of making a glass tube include the steps of passing a quantity molten glass through an upstream portion of the outer tube, wherein the molten glass includes a first cross-sectional shape. The method further includes the step of passing the quantity of molten glass through a downstream portion of the outer tube, wherein the first cross-sectional shape is transitioned to a second cross-sectional shape. In still further examples, methods of making a glass tube include the step of modifying a cross-sectional shape of the glass tube with an air bearing.
