    Abstract: A glass sheet is formed on a mold into a glass article having a three-dimensional shape. The mold, with the glass article thereon, is arranged within an interior space of a radiation shield such that the mold is between a leading end barrier and a trailing end barrier of the radiation shield. The mold, glass article, and radiation shield are translated through a sequence of cooling stations while maintaining the mold between the leading and trailing end barriers, wherein the leading and trailing end barriers inhibit radiation heat transfer at leading and trailing ends of the mold.

    Abstract: Please replace the originally filed abstract with the following amended abstract: An apparatus and method for precision bending a glass sheet that includes an oven for heating the glass sheet to a temperature near the softening temperature of the glass sheet. A stage for supporting the glass sheet. A pair of reference surfaces on the stage for precisely locating the glass sheet on the stage. At least one bending mechanism on a pair of arms inside the oven for bending an edge portion of the glass sheet. Inward facing first stop surfaces on the arms that contact reference surfaces on the stage for precisely locating the bending mechanism on the arms relative to the stage and the glass sheet.

    Abstract: Methods for reforming a glass-based sheet by gravity sagging comprising placing a glass-based sheet over a mold, placing a glass-based patch on a top surface of the glass-based sheet, and heating the glass-based sheet and the glass-based patch to a reforming temperature such that both the glass-based sheet and the glass-based patch deform into the mold cavity under gravitational force. The glass-based patch can be sized and positioned on the top surface of the glass-based sheet to prevent the formation of a wrinkle during the reforming method. The glass-based sheet can be reformed using an apparatus comprising the mold and one or more of the glass-based patches fixed relative to a top surface of the mold.

    Abstract: A method for making a glass ribbon that includes: flowing a glass into a caster having a width (Wcast) from about 100 mm to about 5 m and a thickness (t) from about 1 mm to about 500 mm to form an a cast glass; cooling the cast glass in the caster to a viscosity of at least 108 Poise; conveying the cast glass from the caster; drawing the cast glass, the drawing comprising heating the cast glass to an average viscosity of less than 107 Poise and drawing the cast glass into a glass ribbon having a width (Wribbon) that is less than Wcast; and thereafter cooling the glass ribbon to ambient temperature. Further, the cast glass during the cooling, conveying and drawing steps is about 50° C. or higher.

    Abstract: A multi-well glass-containing structure, and system and method to manufacture the structure are provided. The structure can be a glass plate having a well defined by a rim at a top of the plate to define a well opening, a well bottom at a bottom of the plate spaced away from the rim by a well wall extending from the rim to the well bottom. A well aspect ratio of the depth of the well to a maximum surface dimension of the well opening can be in a range from 40% to 100%. The inner surface of the well can have an average roughness, Ra, of less than 600 nm. The system can include a mold with a coefficient of thermal expansion that matches the glass-containing structure and the method can include forming the glass plate at a viscosity of about 105 to 107,6 poises.
