A non-extruded filter article, including:

Non-extruded activated carbon honeycomb structures

Transparent glass sheets having increased mechanical strength include an inner layer surrounded by surface compressive layers wherein the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the inner layer and the surface compressive layer is greater than 50&#xd7;10&#xb0; C.and wherein the surface compressive layer has a compressive stress of at least about 300 MPa.

Glass sheets with improved mechanical strength

A flow-through filter article, as defined herein, including: Also disclosed is a method of making and using the filter article.

Honeycomb filter article and methods thereof

A filter apparatus comprises a filter stack including a plurality of porous ceramic plates that are axially spaced from one another to define plurality of axially spaced apart radial flow areas. In one example, the filter stack is mounted within a housing. In further examples, the plurality of porous ceramic plates alternate between a first set of porous ceramic plates that are nested with a second set of porous ceramic plates. In still further examples, at least one of the sides of the porous ceramic plates defines a plurality of radial flutes arranged in a radial array.

Filter apparatus with porous ceramic plates

Methods of making a filter apparatus includes the step of creating a filter stack by axially spacing the porous ceramic plates from one another with a plurality of compliant spacers. In another example, the method includes the step of firing the first filter stack to sinter bond the first plurality of porous ceramic plates together with a first spacing element. In another example, the plurality of plates comprise a composition including catalyst particles and a binder material and the plates are fired to form porous plates without sintering a substantial amount of the catalyst particles. Methods of fabricating a porous ceramic article also include providing a porous substrate with a first material composition including mullite and infiltrating the pores of the substrate with a second material composition including cordierite. The method further includes the step of firing the first composition and the second composition to form the porous ceramic article.

Methods of making filter apparatus and fabricating a porous ceramic article

The invention is a solution impregnation and drying treatment that imparts a high temperature binder into an already formed porous green body composed of particulate batch material. The batch material includes inorganic compounds and binder. The result is reduced sag and distortion and the same or increased strength when the porous body is later fused during sintering/firing.

Method for making fused ceramic articles of near net shape

The present disclosure relates to radial wall flow particulate filters comprised of ceramic material. The filters include a filter body that has a plurality of adjacent troughs circumferentially arranged around a longitudinal axis.

Ceramic radial wall flow particulate filter

A device for treating fluids, such as automotive exhaust gases is provided, as well as a method of manufacturing such a device. The device provides a honeycomb structure, a matrix of ceramic walls that defines a plurality of parallel, fluid-conducting cells oriented along an axis, arranged in a stacked or discontinuous configuration between an inlet and outlet, where adjacent layers of honeycomb structure are separated by layers of air spaces. Each matrix layer has opposing faces that defines the inlets and outlets of the cells, and a peripheral portion or peripheral region including an outer skin. The peripheral portions or peripheral regions of adjacent stacked ceramic layers are mutually contiguous to prevent fluid flowing through the stacked ceramic layers from leaking between said outer skins.

Fluid treatment device having a multiple ceramic honeycomb layered structure

A conformable nosing device is described herein which conforms to have a bowed shape that substantially matches a bowed shape of a glass sheet and which engages the glass sheet to help minimize the motion of the glass sheet and to help reduce the stress within the glass sheet while the glass sheet is being scored and separated into individual glass sheets. In addition, the conformable nosing device can include a passive nosing device which can be controlled to further help minimize the motion of the glass sheet while the glass sheet is being scored and separated into individual glass sheets.

Conformable nosing device for reducing motion and stress within a glass sheet while manufacturing the glass sheet

A fast light off flow-through ceramic substrate is provided that is particularly adapted for use as a catalytic converter. The substrate is formed from a body of ceramic material having axially opposing inlet and outlet ends for receiving and expelling the flow of automotive exhaust gas, respectively. The body contains a network of walls coated with a catalyst that define axially-oriented flow-through cell channels. The average thermal mass (ATM) of a first axial region of the walls adjacent to the inlet end is at least 20% less than the average thermal mass (ATM) of all of the walls. The lower average thermal mass of the walls in the first region advantageously shortens the light off time for the catalyst within the substrate to effectively neutralize automotive pollutants. The reduction of the average thermal mass in only the first axial region of the walls advantageously maintains the strength of the resulting body of ceramic material, and further increases the cool down time of the body.

Catalytic flow-through fast light off ceramic substrate and method of manufacture

Feed materials are melted in a furnace to form a glass melt at a first temperature T, the glass melt containing at least one fining agent. The glass melt is cooled to a second temperature Tless than T, and an oxygen-containing gas is bubbled through the cooled melt. The glass melt is then re-heated to a third temperature Tequal to or greater than the first temperature T.

Method of increasing the effectiveness of a fining agent in a glass melt

A method of forming an alkali metal oxide-doped optical fiber by diffusing an alkali metal into a surface of a glass article is disclosed. The silica glass article may be in the form of a tube or a rod, or a collection of tubes or rods. The silica glass article containing the alkali metal, and impurities that may have been unintentionally diffused into the glass article, is etched to a depth sufficient to remove the impurities. The silica glass article may be further processed to form a complete optical fiber preform. The preform, when drawn into an optical fiber, exhibits a low attenuation.

Method for making low loss optical fiber

A method and apparatus for providing a uniform coating thickness along an axial direction within an internal portion of a substrate tube is disclosed. A gas delivery unit is configured to coat the internal portion of the substrate tube. The gas delivery unit includes an insert. At least one of an inner diameter of the insert, a length of the insert, a gap between the insert and the substrate tube, and a flow of the gas mixture delivered to the substrate tube is configured to provide the uniform coating thickness along the axial direction.
