Abstract:
A glass object (102) is heated by application of infrared energy and radio-wave energy. A coating is applied to the glass object (102) and the glass object (102) is subject to additional heating with radio-wave energy. The temperature and duration of the additional heating may be sufficient for a pyrolytic reaction to occur between the coating and the glass object (102). The coated glass object (102) may be cooled either rapidly to temper the glass or cooled gently to anneal the glass.
Abstract:
A system and method for heating, forming, and tempering a glass sheet includes pre-heating the glass sheet to at least a first predetermined temperature. The system and method includes also applying radio-frequency energy to the glass sheet to heat it to at least a second predetermined temperature and cooling at least one outer surface of the glass sheet to at least a third predetermined temperature to temper the glass sheet.
Abstract:
A reflector assembly for a UV energy exposure system includes a funnel adapted to be connected to a UV energy source to funnel UV energy from the UV energy source longitudinally and a reflector connected to the funnel to redirect the UV energy from the funnel laterally to an object.
