Title: Evacuated glass panel having a getter
Inventor: COLLINS RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: H01J9/39
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A method of fabricating an evacuated glass panel, in particular when in the form of evacuated glazing, which incorporates a chamber (18) that is defined  by two spaced-apart glass sheets (10 and 12) and a fused edge seal (16). The  method comprises positioning the glass sheets (10) and (12) in spaced-apart relationship using pillars (14), and locating a getter (20, 21 or 23) within  a region (22) of the chamber that is to be formed between the glass sheets. A fusible sealant material (16) is deposited around the edges of the glass sheets (10 and 12) and air is displaced from between the glass sheets by admitting an inert gas to the space between the glass sheets. After admittin g the inert gas the sealant material is fused to create the fused edge seal (1 6) around the glass sheets whilst maintaining the inert gas in the chamber that  is formed with fusing of the sealant material. Thereafter, the chamber is evacuated and, depending upon the type of getter (20, 21 or 23) that is employed, the getter is activated either following evacuation of the chamber  or during fusing of the edge seal around the glass sheets.

When used in very cold environments, a temperature controlled enclosure (22) encloses the cable reel (14, 15) for maintaining the cable at a temperature at which it is sufficiently flexible for handling and laying. When retrieving cable, a motor power controller (32) automatically controls the power to the cable reel drive motor (30) for maintaining constant tension in the cable being retrieved. A cable tension measuring device (34) provides feedback to the motor power controller. The cable being retrieved passes over a guide roller attached to the end of an arm (38) pivotally attached to the vehicle (10). The arm (38) is pivotally biased upward and away from the ground surface for tensioning the cable being retrieved. The cable also passes over a plurality of sheaves (42, 44, 46) mounted on the arm (38) or the vehicle for flexing the cable to remove any foreign material adhering to the cable being retrieved.
