Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and products relate to systematic calculation and execution of pin height adjustments within a bed of nails shape measurement gauge with respect to a measured subject, such as glass substrates, and in particular, to using a bed of nails gauge for measuring a gravity-free shape of a surface of an object, including glass substrates used to make liquid crystal display (LCD) glass sheets. One or more embodiments may include a plurality of pins operable to support the surface during measurement. Each pin comprises a load cell operable to transmit measurement signals, and a height adjuster operable to receive adjustment signals and execute pin height adjustments upon receiving adjustment signals. Execution of the pin height adjustments systematically positions the pins so that the surface exerts on each pin a measured force nearing a target force corresponding to the gravity-free shape.

Abstract: A mask for laser sealing a temperature and environmentally sensitive element, such as an OLED device, surrounded by a frit wall between first and second substrates. The mask is opaque and has a transparent elongate transmission region. The width of the transmission region may be substantially equal to the width of the frit wall. A strip of opaque mask material extends approximately along a longitudinal center line of the elongate transmission region. The mask is located between a laser and the first or second substrate. The laser emits a generally circular beam having a diameter that is larger than the width of the frit wall and is directed through the transmission region in the mask, such that opaque portions of the mask block portions the laser beam and the transparent transmission region allows a portion of the laser beam to pass through the mask and impinge upon the frit wall to melt the frit wall, thereby joining the first and second substrates and hermetically sealing the element therebetween. A process and system for sealing such an element between a first substrate and a second substrate separated by at least one frit wall employing such mask.

Abstract: A method of sealing a photonic assembly comprising several substrate plates and a sealing material disposed therebetween using a frame that may be positioned over and about a perimeter of the assembly. The frame and the assembly form a free space region between the frame and the assembly. A vacuum is applied to the free space region, for example through a passage formed in the frame, thereby causing a force to be applied against the frame and the assembly, via ambient atmospheric pressure, that facilitates the formation of a seal between the substrates when the sealing material is cured. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 用于激光密封由第一和第二基底之间的玻璃料壁包围的温度和环境敏感元件（例如OLED器件）的掩模。 掩模是不透明的并且具有透明的细长透射区域。 透射区域的宽度可以基本上等于玻璃料壁的宽度。 不透明掩模材料条大致沿着细长传输区域的纵向中心线延伸。 掩模位于激光器和第一或第二基板之间。 激光器发射一直径大于玻璃料壁宽度的大致圆形的光束，并且被引导通过掩模中的透射区域，使得掩模块的不透明部分部分激光束和透明透射区域允许 激光束的一部分穿过掩模并撞击在玻璃料壁上以熔化玻璃料壁，从而接合第一和第二基板并将元件气密地密封在其间。 一种用于使用这种掩模由至少一个玻璃料壁分隔的第一基板和第二基板之间密封这种元件的工艺和系统。

Abstract: A method of measuring the shape of a glass sheet is provided. The method includes positioning the glass sheet in contact with a fluid and measuring the distance between a sensor and a surface of the glass sheet at a plurality of locations on the surface thereof. The method may further include deconvolving the shape of the glass sheet into at least one simple shape element, such as cylindrical or spherical, and may further include varying the temperature profile of an array of heaters in a glass manufacturing process based on the at least one shape element.
