    Abstract: A cold-formed glass laminate (100) may include a first ply (108) of 3D formed glass with a first thickness, a first strength, and a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The laminate (100) may also include a second ply (110) of 3D formed glass with a second thickness less than the first thickness, a second strength greater than the first strength, and a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The second coefficient of thermal expansion may be selected to be sufficiently higher than the first coefficient of thermal expansion to induce residual compressive stresses in the first ply (108) due to cold forming therewith. An adhesive layer (112) may be arranged between the first ply (108) and the second ply (110).

    Abstract: The apparatus for non-contact damping vibration of a vibrating optical fiber moving over an optical fiber path includes an air bearing and an air supply. The air bearing includes a body having an aperture defined by an inner surface and a central axis that passes through the center of the aperture and along which lies the optical fiber path. A plurality of nozzles is distributed around the inner surface and directed toward the central axis. An air conduit within the body is in pneumatic communication with the plurality of nozzles. The air supply is pneumatically connected to the air conduit and is configured to supply pressurized air to the air bearing. The pressurized air is directed through the nozzles to the vibrating optical fiber and impinges on the optical fiber to damp the vibration of the vibrating optical fiber.

    Abstract: A glass substrate support system includes a first and second vacuum members extending lengthwise in a glass substrate feed direction along opposing edges of a flexible glass substrate. Each vacuum member has a vacuum body including a pressure chamber located therein and a support surface having a vacuum opening extending therethrough and in communication with the pressure chamber. A support rod assembly is provided that includes a plurality of support rods located between the first second vacuum members in the glass substrate feed direction. The support rod assembly has an out-of-plane configuration that supports the flexible glass substrate in a downward arc orientation.
