The high index of refraction of germanium dioxide renders it valuable as a component of glasses used in optical devices, such as wide-angle lenses for cameras and microscope objectives.
This material was vital in Nervi's design for a complex he built for the Turin Exhibition in 1949 50 a prefabricated structure in the form of a corrugated cylindrical arch, spanning 309 feet (93 m), based on modular components of glass and ferrocemento.
As the result of active interaction of components of glass phase and ВНА, a formation of new crystal phases takes place.
The newly discovered patent describes not only individual components of Glass as we've seen previously, but the overall system, including display, frames, image projection and capture, wireless connections, sensors and more.
For now, Nihalani said it might be tricky for Google to fit all the components of Glass into his team's slim design, but he said that as hardware gets smaller, he fully expects Glass to one day be able to camouflage as a normal pair of glasses.
In the case of SCP/glass composites, where mixture of synthetic calcium phosphates was used as a calcium phosphate component, formation of glass ceramics (calcium silicate, sodium calcium silicates, melilite, sodium silicate, sodium borate, HA) took place.
Many components of Glass-Steagall were repealed in 1999 with the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Water is considered as an important degradation factor for PV-modules by causing hydrolysis of polymeric components, corrosion of glass and of metallic components like grids and interconnectors.
Boron trioxide is used as a glass fibre additive, and is also a component of borosilicate glass, widely used for laboratory glassware and domestic ovenware for its low thermal expansion.
The objective was to design compositions having gallium oxide as the main component of the glass expected for further applications like wave guided transmission in the near- and mid-infrared optical domain.
