    摘要: A method and apparatus for low temperature laser sealing of bonded articles is disclosed. Hermetic sealing of glass substrates using low temperature sealing techniques that do not adversely affect bulk strength of glass substrates, the environment created between the substrates and/or any components housed within the sealed glass substrates is disclosed. Such low temperature sealing techniques include use of localized laser heating of sealing materials to form a hermetic seal between glass substrates that does not involve heating the entire article to be sealed.

    摘要: Improved building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems according to certain example embodiments may include concentrated photovoltaic skylights or other windows in which holographic optical elements (HOEs) are provided. The HOEs are formed on or in a substantially planar glass substrate, e.g., at light coupling locations, and they help form a holographic projection of light in a desired wavelength range on a photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module may, for example, be connected to an outer edge of the substrate in certain example embodiments. Holographically projected light may propagate through the substrate in accordance with the principles of total internal reflection (TIR), which may be somewhat lossy in some cases. A lens provided between the light source (e.g., the sun) may help re-orient the light in a desired direction so as to improve the efficiency of the HOEs.

    摘要: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to coated articles including substrates that support printed patterns and thin film layer stacks that can have the patterns and the layer stacks formed thereon and then be cut, heat treated, and optionally built into an insulated glass unit, laminated to another substrate, and/or used in another product. In certain example embodiments, this is made possible by bonding to the glass the frit material used in forming the pattern, re-annealing the glass following the bonding, disposing the thin film layer stack on the re-annealed substrate supporting the bonded pattern, and then cutting and heat treating. The frit advantageously does not re-melt during heat treatment because the melting temperature is higher than the temperature used in heat treatment, and/or as a result of secondary recrystallization of the frit material. Associated methods also are provided.

    摘要: Certain example embodiments relate to vacuum insulating glass units having edge seals formed in connection with solder alloys that, when reactively reflowed, wet metallic coatings pre-coated on the glass substrates' perimeters, and/or associated methods. The alloys may be based on materials that form seals at temperatures that will not de-temper glass and/or decompose a laminate, and/or remain hermetic and lack porous structures in their bulks. Example alloys may be based on inter-metallics of Sn and one or more materials selected from post-transition metals or metalloids; Zintl anions (e.g., In, Bi, etc.) from Group 13, 14, 15, or 16; and transition metals (e.g., Cu, Ag, Ni, etc.); and excludes Pb. Thin film coatings in certain example embodiments work with the solder material to form robust and durable hermetic interfaces. Because low temperatures are used, certain example embodiments can use compliant and visco-elastic spacer technology based on lamellar structures and/or the like.
