Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method comprising, via computer aided design, designing parts of an object that comprises an outer shell and an inner body, at least one of the outer shell and the inner body defining a specific volume negative space relief. In certain exemplary embodiments, the specific volume negative space relief defines a channel constructed to pass at least one of a fluid and a gas.

A light glazing for a motor vehicle includes a first transparent sheet, a masking zone with a first unmasked zone, a first light source, coupled optically to a transparent element, called light guide, a first extraction device for extracting light guided in the light guide, the first light extraction device being opposite the first unmasked zone so that one or more of the illuminated patterns are visible on the side of the second main face, on the second main face side, an opaque rear masking element, covering the first light extraction device, the first light extraction device being between the second main face and the rear masking element.

In a method of fabricating a cover window, the method includes: forming, on a glass article having a flat upper surface, a mask layer including water glass and a recess portion having a partially recessed upper surface; and etching the mask layer and the glass article to form a cover window having a partially recessed upper surface.

The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

Methods for coating a glass-based article, for example a cover glass, with a coating layer that is not deposited on the perimeter edge of the glass-based article. The methods may include direct patterning of a sacrificial material over a first region on a top surface the glass-based article but not a second region on the top surface of the glass-based article. The first region includes at least a portion of a perimeter edge of the glass-based article that is to be protected from deposition of the coating layer. After direct patterning of a sacrificial material and deposition of a coating layer, the sacrificial material may be removed such that the coating layer is disposed on the second region on the top surface of the glass-based article and not the first region. These methods may be used to make a glass-based article with non-edge-to-edge coating layers.

The present disclosure relates to a reconstituted wafer- and/or panel-level package comprising a glass substrate having a plurality of cavities. Each cavity is configured to hold a single IC chip. The reconstituted wafer- and/or panel-level package can be used in a fan-out wafer or panel level packaging process. The glass substrate can include at least two layers having different photosensitivities with one layer being sufficiently photosensitive to be capable of being photomachined to form the cavities.

The present invention includes a method of creating electrical air gap low loss low cost RF mechanically and thermally stabilized interdigitated resonate filter in photo definable glass ceramic substrate. Where a ground plane may be used to adjacent to or below the RF filter in order to prevent parasitic electronic signals, RF signals, differential voltage build up and floating grounds from disrupting and degrading the performance of isolated electronic devices by the fabrication of electrical isolation and ground plane structures on a photo-definable glass substrate.

A film forming system includes a conveyance carrier configured to hold a substrate and a mask and move inside a conveyance path, the substrate including a film formation area, the mask being configured to shield a film non-formation area other than the film formation area, a conveyance unit disposed on the conveyance path and configured to move the conveyance carrier in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, a film formation unit located along the conveyance path and configured to form a film on the film formation area of the substrate, and a mask supply unit located along the conveyance path and configured to supply the conveyance carrier with the mask.

A method of preparing glass for etching includes providing a section of the glass and printing a mask directly on to the section of the glass by depositing ink with a printer. A printing system for preparing a section of the glass for etching includes a printer configured to print a mask directly on to the section of the glass by depositing ink on to the section of the glass. A glass etching system includes a printing system for preparing a section of the glass for etching and an etching bath for receiving the section of the glass and for exposing at least a portion of the section of the glass to an etching solution in order to remove colouring from the section of the glass in areas not covered by the mask.

The present invention includes a method of creating high Q empty substrate integrated waveguide devices and/or system with low loss, mechanically and thermally stabilized in photodefinable glass ceramic substrate. The photodefinable glass ceramic process enables high performance, high quality, and/or low-cost structures. Compact low loss RF empty substrate integrated waveguide devices are a cornerstone technological requirement for RF systems, in particular, for portable systems.
