US Patent Issued to CORNING on Sept. 9 for "Non-iox glasses with high coefficient of thermal expansion and preferential fracture behavior for thermal tempering" (New York Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,410,090, issued on Sept. 9, was assigned to CORNING Inc. (Corning, N.Y.).

"Non-iox glasses with high coefficient of thermal expansion and preferential fracture behavior for thermal tempering" was invented by Timothy Michael Gross (Painted Post, N.Y.) and Peter Joseph Lezzi (Corning, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The disclosure relates to glass compositions with high coefficients of thermal expansion and low fracture toughness designed for thermal tempering. These glasses are ideally suited to produce a "dicing" pattern when thermally tempered, even when thin (greater than3 mm). Disclosed glasses have high thermal expansions at low...
