Abstract:
A manufacturing line includes a tape of green material that is directed through a furnace so that the furnace burns off organic binder material and then partially sinters the tape without the use of a setter board. Sintered articles resulting from the manufacturing line may be thin with relatively large surface areas; and, while substantially unpolished, have few sintering-induced surface defects. Tension may be applied to the partially sintered tape as it passes through a second furnace on the manufacturing line to shape resulting sintered articles. The furnace is preferably vertically oriented and is operated preferably continuously. Preferably ceramic materials are used for forming the tape.
Abstract:
Described herein is a substrate including a central longitudinal axis, a first support web, and a second support web. A sinuous web may be positioned between the first support web and the second support web. The sinuous web may include transverse web portions and bridging web portions, where the bridging web portions alternatively connect ends of adjacent transverse web portions. The sinuous web may be connected to the first support web by support legs extending between bridging web portions and a surface of the first support web. The sinuous web may be connected to the second support web by support legs extending between bridging web portions and a surface of the second support web. A support leg length to distance between transverse web portions ratio may be from about 1.0 to about 4.0.
Abstract:
Solid oxide fuel cell assemblies comprise packets of multi-cell-sheet device s based on compliant solid oxide electrolyte sheets that form a fuel chamber a nd support anodes interiorly and cathodes exteriorly of the chamber that can be electrically interconnected to provide a compact, high voltage power- generating unit; added frames can support the oxide sheets and incorporate fuel supply and air supply conduits or manifolds permitting stacking of the assemblies into fuel cell stacks of any required size and power-generating capacity.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to glass frits containing phosphors that can be used in LED lighting devices and for methods associated therewith for making the phosphor containing glass frit and their use in glass articles, for example, LED devices.
