    摘要: A method of making a vacuum insulating panel, where the vacuum insulating panel may include a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate, a plurality of spacers provided in a gap between at least the first and second glass substrates, and a seal provided between at least the first and second glass substrates, the seal including a first seal layer and/or a second seal layer. The method may include at least one of: providing first seal material for the first seal layer at a location between at least the first and second glass substrates; pre-heating the glass substrates, the first seal material, and the second seal layer; wherein said pre-heating may cause at least one of (a) at least one of the glass substrates, (b) the second seal layer, and/or (c) the first seal material, to reach a pre-heat temperature; wherein the pre-heat temperature may be from about 40-120 degrees C. less than a melting point (Tm) of the first seal material, from about 150-450 degrees less than a melting point (Tm) of the second seal material, and/or within about 70 degrees C. of a softening point (Ts) of the first seal material; after said pre-heating, laser heating the first seal material in order to fire and/or sinter the first seal material and form the first seal layer in a manner so that the first seal layer may have a density of from about 2.8-4.0 g/cm3; and after forming the first seal layer, evacuating the gap to a pressure less than atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: Disclosed is an annealing system integrated with laser and microwave. The annealing system is provided with a microwave system, a laser system, and a measurement and control system. The microwave system provides a microwave energy to a first area of a to-be-annealed object for annealing the first area of the to-be-annealed object. The laser system uses a laser to provide a laser energy to a second area of the to-be-annealed object for annealing the second area of the to-be-annealed object. The measurement and control system monitors and controls a power of a microwave and/or a laser. The annealing system is capable of reducing a time required for an overall annealing, and also capable of avoiding cracks or defects caused by large stress differences.

    摘要: A method of attaching a first metal object to a second metal object is presented. The first metal object and the second metal object are dissimilar materials. The first metal object comprises an upper surface and a lower surface. The method comprises: positioning the first metal object in intimate contact with the second metal object such that the second metal object is in contact with the lower surface of the first metal object; identifying at least one attachment location on the upper surface of the first metal object where the first metal object is in intimate contact with the second metal object; adding a powdered metal on the upper surface of the first metal object at the at least one attachment location; and firing a heat source at the powdered metal to melt the powdered metal and drive the melted powdered metal through the first metal object and into the second metal object.

    摘要: A laser soldering device includes a laser source, a lens group, a temperature sensor, and a feedback controller. The laser source emits a laser beam, which is power-adjustable, according to a control signal. The temperature sensor receives infrared rays radiated when the laser beam is irradiated to the soldering point to detect the temperature of the soldering point, and correspondingly outputs a sensing signal according to the detected temperature. When the detected temperature falls into a first temperature range based on a target temperature, the feedback controller executes a PID algorithm to calculate a predicted error value according to an error value between the detected temperature and the target temperature. The feedback controller controls the laser source according to the predicted error value, and adjusts the power of the laser beam accordingly, so that the detected temperature can be substantially equal to the target temperature.
