| 20100215862 | METHOD FOR FORMING AN OPAL GLASS - A method of fowling an opal layer on an optically transparent alkali-silicate glass sheet, wherein a liquidus viscosity of the alkali silicate glass forming the sheet is at least about 200,000 poise, a liquidus temperature of the alkali silicate glass is equal to or less than about 1200° C. and wherein the exposed surface of the glass sheet after the exposing comprises an opal layer. The method includes exposing a surface of the optically transparent alkali silicate glass sheet to an alkali metal salt bath at a temperature equal to or greater than 300° C. for at least 5 minutes. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100331164 | Hermetic Sealing Material - Sealing materials for use with membrane supports, and in particular to sealing materials that can be used to form a glassy coating on the exterior surface of a membrane support to prevent gases from entering or exiting the support via the support's exterior walls. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110120555 | PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES AND LIGHT SCATTERING SUPERSTRATES - Photovoltaic devices having light scattering articles having a smooth surface are described herein. Glass frits on glass superstrates can provide planar surfaces for subsequent layer deposition such as TCO layers and yet provide light scattering functions within, for example, silicon tandem photovoltaic devices. Methods of making the light scattering articles with a planar surface include depositing unfilled or filled glass frits on planar or surface-textured superstrates and sintering of the glass frit. The compositions of the glass frits can be tailored to match, for example, the expansion properties and physical properties of the glass superstrates. | 05-26-2011 |
