A method for forming a glass sheet with reduced inclusions is disclosed. The method includes flowing molten glass over converging forming surfaces of a forming body positioned within an enclosure. The forming body is heated with a plurality of heating elements separated from the forming body by an inner wall of the enclosure. The temperature Tat the bottom of the forming body is decoupled from the temperature Tat the top of the forming body by an insulating thermal barrier positioned between two adjacent heating elements of the plurality of heating elements such that a change in Tdoes not cause a substantial change in T.

Method and apparatus for minimizing inclusions in a glass making process

An apparatus for forming a glass sheet with reduced zircon inclusions in the glass sheet is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises heating elements distributed vertically between the weirs of a forming wedge and the root of the forming wedge, and wherein a thermal barrier is disposed between adjacent heating elements. A method of using the apparatus is also disclosed.

The invention is directed at an engine exhaust system comprising: (1) a honeycomb structure having an inlet and outlet end disposed in a housing located in an exhaust gas stream downstream from an engine, and having a first substantially unobstructed flow region, and a second more obstructed flow region adjacent the first region, both providing a flow path for the exhaust gases in the exhaust gas stream; and, (2) a fluidics apparatus disposed in the exhaust stream comprising a bi-convex diverter body with the respective surfaces located upstream and downstream of each other, located upstream and proximate to the first region, a diversion fluid source and a conduit possessing a rounded outlet for directing the diversion fluid toward the diverter body.
