    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for making a contoured glass article and the resulting contoured glass article are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the method includes cold bending a flat glass sheet having first and second opposing major surfaces, at least one region having a first thickness, and at least one region having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, to produce cold bent glass sheet having at least one bend region along a portion of the at least one region having the second thickness; and restraining the cold bent glass sheet to produce the contoured glass article. One or more embodiments pertain to the resulting contoured glass article.

    Abstract: A method for forming ion-exchanged regions in a glass article by contacting an ion source with at least one surface of the glass article, forming a first ion-exchanged region in the glass article by heating a first portion of the glass article with a laser, and forming a second ion-exchanged region in the glass article. Characteristics of the first ion-exchanged region may be different from characteristics of the second ion-exchanged region. A depth of the ion-exchanged region may be greater than 1 μm. A glass article including a first ion-exchanged region, and a second ion-exchanged region having different characteristics from the first ion-exchanged region. The thickness of the glass article is less than or equal to about 0.5 mm.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for batch processing glass substrate webs are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of processing a glass substrate web includes applying a spacer layer to at least one of a first surface or a second surface of the glass substrate web, and rolling the spacer layer and the glass substrate web to form a spool. The spacer layer is configured such that a gap exists between the first surface and the second surface of the glass substrate web within the spool. The method further includes applying a fluid to the spool such that the fluid surrounds the spool and is disposed within the gap between the first surface and the second surface within the spool.

    Abstract: An apparatus for redirecting a glass ribbon assembly from a first glass conveyance path to a second glass conveyance path. The apparatus includes a glass ribbon assembly source for providing the glass ribbon assembly including a flexible glass substrate that includes a first surface and a second surface that extend between a first edge and a second edge, first and second handling tabs affixed to the flexible glass substrate edges, and a primary roll member located downstream of the glass ribbon assembly source. The first glass conveyance path extends from the glass ribbon assembly source to the primary roll member, and the second glass conveyance path extends from the primary roll member in a downstream direction. Contact surfaces of the primary roll member are tangential to the first and second glass conveyance paths, and the second glass conveyance path is non-planar with the first glass conveyance path.
