ActiveUS20090151855A1Lower temperatureIncrease likelihood of deformationClimate change adaptationLaminationEngineeringThermal source
Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to edge sealing techniques for vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units. More particularly, certain example embodiments relate to techniques for providing localized heating to edge seals of units, and / or unitized ovens for accomplishing the same. In certain example embodiments, a unit is pre-heated to one or more intermediate temperatures, localized heating via at least one substantially two-dimensional array of heat sources is provided proximate to the peripheral edges of the unit so as to melt frits placed thereon, and cooled. In certain non-limiting implementations, the pre-heating and / or cooling may be provided in one or more steps. An oven for accomplishing the same may include multiple zones for performing the above-noted steps, each zone optionally including one or more chambers. Accordingly, in certain example embodiments, a temperature gradient proximate to the edges of the unit is created, thereby reducing the chances of breakage and / or at least some de-tempering of the substrates.

Edge profiles for vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units, and/or VIG unit including the same

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units. The VIG unit may comprise first and second substrates with inner and outer substantially planar surfaces. For either or both of the first and second substrates, when considered along a side cross-section, a portion of the inner planar surface is removed proximate to an outer edge of the glass substrate so as to form a shoulder portion. An inner surface of the shoulder portion is angled (a negative number of degrees, zero degrees, or a positive number of degrees) relative to the inner and outer planar surfaces. The shoulder portion at its smallest height is at least about 50% of the glass substrate at its largest height. A side portion of the step proximate the edge also may be angled, e.g., so that it is or is not perpendicular to the planar surfaces.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to frits or solder glass compounds that include beads, and / or assemblies such as, for example, vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units or plasma display panels (PDPs) including the same. In certain example embodiments, the beads may be hollow glass beads of any suitable shape (e.g., substantially spherical, substantially eye shaped, substantially oblong, substantially square shaped, etc.) with or without evacuated cavities. The inclusion of such beads in a frit material may improve the thermal properties of the bulk fired frit in certain example instances. Additionally, the inclusion of such beads in a frit material may take the place of other more expensive materials in the frit, thereby reducing the costs associated with the fabrication of the assemblies.

A guitar string bender bridge mount couples to a guitar bridge through an existing bridge string mount. The bridge mount has a side wall and a slot in and extending to an edge of the side wall. A mounting screw couples into a standard hole on a guitar bridge and is rotatable to adjust the tuning of at least one of the guitar strings. A saddle lever is supported by the bridge mount and is pivotal through a limited arc, limited by low and high stops. The saddle lever is selectively and manually removable from the bridge mount. A string attachment receives and retains a first end of a guitar string. A body wraps about the axis of rotation and is partially wrapped by the guitar string, and the pivoting varies an extent of wrap about the body, to thereby vary a tension upon the guitar string.

Piezoelectric vibration device, method of manufacturing the same, and method of adjusting resonant frequency

A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibration device having a surface acoustic wave element includes a step of forming a functional film adapted to increase a velocity of a wave on a surface of the surface acoustic wave element. Further, the Young's modulus of the functional film is higher than the Young's modulus of each of the excitation electrode and the piezoelectric body, and the density of the functional film is lower than the density of each of the excitation electrode and the piezoelectric body. Thus, it is possible to develop the frequency rise due to the elastic modulus rise while suppressing the influence of the frequency drop due to the mass attachment effect to thereby raise the resonant frequency of the surface acoustic wave element.
