A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The outer surface has a topography defined by a function ĥ(x) that is an azimuthal average of a distance between a contact plane and the outer surface at any given position located on a circle having the centre and the radius |x|. The values ĥ for ĥ(x) are determined for a plurality of circles the radius of which increases stepwise by 500 μm starting with a circle around the centre having a radius of 500 μm. The values ĥ are determined in a range from x=−0.4×d/2 to x=+0.4×d/2, dhaving a size such that at least 4 values ĥ are determined and can be fitted with a curvature function

Glass container comprising a glass bottom with improved properties

A process for preparing a glass container that includes: providing a glass tube with a first portion, a second portion, and a longitudinal axis (L); holding the first portion in a first clamping chuck and the second portion in a second clamping chuck; rotating the glass tube around the longitudinal axis (L); heating, via a heater, the glass tube above a glass transition temperature; separating the first and second portions from one another by pulling apart along the longitudinal axis (L) while the heated glass tube is still rotating by moving the first and the second chucks away from each other; and moving the heater, while moving the first and second chucks away from each other, so that the heater follows a mass that remains at a circular end region of the first and/or second portion.

Bottom forming process

A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The two-dimensional distance h(x,y) between a contact plane and the outer surface. The two-dimensional distance is measured in a direction parallel to the axis. The slope magnitude of the outer surface at the given position x,y is given by&#x221a;{square root over ((dh/dx)+(dh/dy))}.The 75% quantile of values that have been determined for the term&#x221a;{square root over ((dh/dx)+(dh/dy))}&#xd7;d1/h(xy)for all given positions x,y within a circular area having a radius of 0.4&#xd7;d/2 and that correspond to the centre is less than 4100 &#x3bc;m/mm. The adjacent positions x,y increase stepwise by 200 &#x3bc;m, and h(x,y)=h(x,y)&#x2212;h(x,y), h(x,y)is a maximum value for h(x,y) and h(x,y)is a minimum value for h(x,y) being determined in that circular area.

An optical converter wheel, a method of producing, and a method of using are provided. The wheel includes an inorganic converter material that converts light of a first wavelength into light of a second wavelength and a converter substrate. The converter substrate has a coefficient of thermal expansion CTEof 4 to 18&#xd7;101/K in a range from 20&#xb0; C.-300&#xb0; C. and a thermal conductivity of at least 50 W/mK at 20&#xb0; C.

An apparatus and a method for producing glass products from a glass melt, avoiding bubble formation, are disclosed, wherein the apparatus includes a crucible and an internally component for processing the glass melt, and wherein, for heating the glass melt, the apparatus comprises an AC generator which energizes the crucible or stirring crucible via electrical connection elements. The component or stirring system is connected via a current-limiting choke having a variable impedance with the power supply elements. The impedance of the current-limiting choke is adjusted so that a AC density existing in the glass melt lies between a lower limit value and an upper limit value. By means of a choke and by adjusting the impedance it can be achieved that the AC load of the system can be minimized and that simultaneously the water decomposition reaction at the precious metal surfaces can positively be influenced.
