The glass may be a glass sheet or a glass ribbon.

In further examples, methods of producing a glass ribbon include the step of controlling a transverse temperature profile of the glass ribbon along a width of the glass ribbon.

Thus, fixing of the glass tape onto the prepreg tape is accomplished.

Glass ribbon having the final thickness can be passed to a third location at which the glass ribbon is collected.

In the molding step, after the glass ribbon is formed, both end sections of the glass ribbon in the width direction are cooled faster than the center section of the glass ribbon in the width direction.

A method for cutting a flexible glass ribbon includes directing the flexible glass ribbon to a flexible glass cutting apparatus including a laser.

The glass ribbon is drawn in the viscoelastic state.

Disclosed is a method of separating a glass sheet from a moving glass ribbon, wherein the glass ribbon comprises thickened bead portions.

The first edge of the flexible glass ribbon is separated as the flexible glass ribbon moves by the cutting device forming a continuous strip of edge trim connected to a central portion of the flexible glass ribbon.

Methods of processing a glass ribbon are provided.

In one embodiment, a glass ribbon is formed in a fusion process and the glass ribbon redirected onto a molten metal bath where the ribbon is thermally treated.

A method of separating a glass sheet from a moving glass ribbon comprising engaging the moving glass ribbon with a traveling anvil machine comprising a separation device.

A method of making glass through a glass ribbon forming process in which a glass ribbon is drawn from a root point to an exit point is provided.

The process for glass/resin composite production is characterized by forming a molten glass into a glass ribbon and then forming a resin layer on at least one side of the glass ribbon.

The crack is propagated along the flexible glass ribbon using the laser beam and a local mechanical deformation in the flexible glass ribbon.
