A method for manufacturing a glass article includes a heating step that heats a heating object made of glass. The heating step includes heating the heating object by converting, by a converter arranged between the heating object and a radiant heat source that radiates infrared light, a spectrum of the infrared light radiated from the radiant heat source and causing the heating object to absorb the infrared light radiated from the converter.

In some examples, preheat three-dimensional (3D) printer build material can include a heating plate of a 3D printer to preheat build material from below the build material, where the heating plate is located adjacent to a build platform of the 3D printer, and a heater-spreader carriage of the 3D printer to preheat the build material from above the build material and spread the preheated build material from the heating plate to the build platform.

A method for heating an electrical bus in an electrical cabinet containing at least one current conversion device includes determining a temperature inside of the electrical cabinet. The method also includes determining a temperature outside of the electrical cabinet. Further, the method includes applying heat to the electrical bus via conduction when the temperature outside of the electrical cabinet is below a predetermined temperature threshold or a difference between the temperature inside of the electrical cabinet and the temperature outside of the electrical cabinet is less than a desired temperature difference.

Laser-based integrated circuit (IC) device testing apparatus capable of inducing localized regions of high temperature within an IC device under test (DUT). A laser source of sufficiently high output power (e.g., 1 W) within an output band that has an energy less than that of a bandgap of one or more semiconductor materials within the DUT may heat a target portion of the DUT proximal to active devices. High levels of thermal stress are possible with the ability to induce temperatures of 300° C., or more. High spatial resolution of thermal stress with the DUT is possible with laser beam spot diameters of less than 4 μm. Accelerated aging tests and thermal sensitivity characterizations of a DUT may be implemented with laser-based heating to expand the range of possible testing conditions and/or generate more precise test data at a more rapid pace.

In an infrared (IR) scene projector device or thermal emission array comprising a plurality of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes disposed proximate to a thermally conductive substrate, the plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may be (i) arranged as in FIGS. 2 and 4B as a sparsely populated forest, with large gaps between the CNTs; or (ii) arranged as in FIGS. 3 and 4C as patches (clusters) of CNTs separated by gaps; or (iii) arranged as a combination of clusters separated by gaps wherein each cluster comprises a sparsely populated forest of CNTs.
