A strengthened glass article having a central tension that is below a threshold value above which the glass exhibits frangible behavior. The central tension varies non-linearly with the thickness of the glass. The glass article may be used as cover plates or windows for portable or mobile electronic devices such as cellular phones, music players, information terminal (IT) devices, including laptop computers, and the like.

Strengthened glass articles and methods of making

A high transmission and low iron glass is provided for use in a solar cell. The glass substrate may be patterned on at least one surface thereof. Antimony (Sb) is used in the glass to improve stability of the solar performance of the glass upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and/or sunlight. The combination of low iron content, antimony, and/or the patterning of the glass substrate results in a substrate with high visible transmission and excellent light refracting characteristics.

Solar cell using low iron high transmission glass with antimony and corresponding method

A high transmission low iron glass, that is highly oxidized, is provided for use in solar cells or the like. In certain example embodiments, the glass composition used for the glass is a low-iron type glass composition which is highly oxidized thereby permitting the glass to realize a combination of high visible transmission (Lta or Tvis), high ultraviolet (UV) and/or infrared (IR) transmission, and high total solar (TS) transmission. These features may be achieved without the need for antimony in certain example instances. The glass substrate used in a solar cell may be patterned in certain example embodiments of this invention.

A low-index silica coating may be made by forming silica sol comprising a silane and/or a colloidal silica. The silica precursor may be deposited on a substrate (e.g., glass substrate) to form a coating layer. The coating layer may then be cured and/or fired using temperature(s) of from about 550 to 700°C. A surface treatment composition comprising an organic material comprising an alkyl chain or a fluoro-alkyl chain and at least one reactive functionality comprising silicon and/or phosphorous may be formed, deposited on the coating layer, then cured and/or fired to form an overcoat layer Preferably, the overcoat layer does not substantially affect the percent transmission or reflection of the low-index silica coating. The low-index silica based coating may be used as an antirefiective (AR) film on a front glass substrate of a photovoltaic device (e.g., solar cell) or any other suitable application in certain example instances.

Therapeutic compounds of formula (I) wherein X is CH2 or SO2; R1 is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl ring; R?2 and R3? are various specified groups, R4 is a group NHCOR15, NHSO?2R?15 or OCONR16R17 where R15 is optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl and R?16 and R17? are independently selected from hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl, with the proviso that at least one of R?16 or R17? is other than hydrogen, or R?16 and R17? together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring which optionally contains further heteroatoms; and R?5, R6 and R7? are independently selected from hydrogen, a functional group or an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl groups or optionally substituted heterocyclic groups; and further provided that when R4 is a group NHCOR15, R15 is substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl; as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing them are described and claimed. These compounds and compositions are useful in the treatment of disease mediated by monocyte chemoattractant protein-l or RANTES (Regulated Upon Activation, Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted), such as inflammatory disease.

Material selected from the group consisting essentially of molybdenum, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, copper, silver, potassium dichromate and iron chromite, is added during the manufacture of soda-lime-silica float glass to reduce the occurrences of nickel sulfide stone defects. Material is added in sufficient amounts such that the resulting glass is at least 0.010 wt. % selected material. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, molybdenum is added in the form of sodium molybdate such that the resulting glass is at least 0.015 wt. % molybdenum.
