    Abstract: A conveying apparatus can comprise one or more support members defining an interior passage and a first plurality of apertures. A first cross-sectional area of the interior passage at a first end portion of a support area can be greater than a second cross-sectional area of the interior passage at a second end portion of the support area. A tube can extend within the interior passage and comprises a second plurality of apertures. Methods are also provided for conveying a ribbon with one or more support members.

    Abstract: Methods of forming a glass-ceramic article, the method are provided. Embodiments of the method may include initially nucleating a precursor glass composition at a first nucleation temperature and maintaining the first nucleation temperature for a pre-nucleating time period to produce a pre-nucleated crystallizable glass composition, wherein the pre-nucleated crystallizable glass composition comprises 5 wt % to 20 wt % crystalline phase ASTM C1365-18, forming the pre-nucleated crystallizable glass composition into an initial 3D shape; further nucleating the initial 3D shape for a nucleating time period to a second nucleation temperature to produce a nucleated crystallizable glass composition; and ceramming the nucleated crystallizable glass composition to a crystallization temperature and maintaining the ceramming temperature for a crystallization time period to produce the glass-ceramic article. The glass-ceramic article may have a final 3D shape is within 0.1 mm of the original design specifications.

    Abstract: Methods of processing glass-based substrates to reduce birefringent defects and glass-based substrates are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for processing a glass-based substrate includes rolling a glass-based material to form the glass-based substrate, and heat treating the glass-based substrate by increasing a temperate of the glass-based substrate, holding the temperature at a maximum temperature for a hold period, and then decreasing the temperature at one or more cooling rates, wherein after the heat treating, the glass-based substrate has a retardance over thickness of 5 nm/mm or less at locations outside of and including 5 mm from any corner of the glass-based substrate and outside of and including 5 mm from any edge of the glass-based substrate.
