    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an assembled stack of fluidic modules comprising at least first and second fluidic modules assembled in a stacked configuration. The first fluidic module has first and second major planar surfaces and encloses a first fluidic passage extending therethrough from a first passage entrance to a first passage exit with the first passage exit located on the second major planar surface of the first fluidic module. The second fluidic module also has first and second major planar surfaces and encloses a second fluidic passage extending therethrough from a second passage entrance to a second passage exit, with the second passage entrance located on the first major planar surface of the second fluidic module. The second major planar surface of the first fluidic module and the first major planar surface of the second fluidic module are spaced apart and physically joined together by at least three separate glass or glass-ceramic pads fused therebetween, and the at least three pads include at least one pad having no through-hole and at least one pad having a through-hole, with the through-hole forming a sealed fluidic interconnection between the first fluidic passage and the second fluidic passage. A method of forming the assembled stack is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A fluidic module includes a monolithic closed-porosity ceramic body that has a first region and a second region with the first region disposed between the second region. The first and second regions are configured to differ from one another with respect to a common attribute of a ceramic material of the ceramic body. The common attribute can differ by forming the first and second regions from ceramic particles that differ with respect their particle sizes. The fluidic module further includes a tortuous fluid passage that extends through the ceramic body. The fluid passage is surrounded by the first region such that the fluid passage is separated entirely from the second region at least within a planar region of the ceramic body. The fluid passage has an interior surface with a surface roughness of less than or equal to 5 μm Ra. A method for forming the fluidic module is disclosed.

    Abstract: A module and process for forming a ceramic fluidic module (300) that includes a unified closed-porosity ceramic body (200) and a tortuous fluid passage (P) that extends through the body (200). The body (200) has a first mean density within a first layer (222) that is greater than a second mean density within a second layer (226). The first and second layers (222, 226) are axially serially arranged between opposed major surfaces (228, 229) of the body (200). The fluid passage (P) adjoins the first layer (222) of the body (200). The process includes pressing a first volume of ceramic powder (120) to form a pre-pressed body (150). A passage mold (130) is then positioned on the pre-pressed body (150). The pre-pressed body (150) and the passage mold (130) are then covered with a second volume of ceramic powder (125). The body (150), the mold (130), and the second volume of ceramic powder (125) are then pressed to form a pressed body (160). The pressed body (160) is heated and sintered to form the ceramic fluidic module (300).

    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 3-D glass enclosure comprises a generally planar glass base member, an encircling glass side wall member connected to the base member, and a generally planar glass cover member connected to the side wall member to form a unitary glass enclosure, the base, sidewall and cover members being made by reforming softened glass sheet preforms and subjecting the reformed members to ion-exchange strengthening, thus providing strong transparent enclosures for electronic devices such as tablet computers, cellphones, media players and televisions.
