Center
for Prototype Maufacturing
of Nano-Structured Electroceramics
The
Nanotechnology Pilot Plant, located
in Ceramic Corridor Innovation
Center, includes nearly 500 square
feet of a Class 10,000 clean room
environment, a suite of Keko manufacturing
equipment for making multilayer
ceramics, and microwave sintering
equipment.
The
facility was funded by a $ 1.8
M grant made to the Center for
Advanced Ceramic Technology (CACT)
by the NYS Office of Science,
Technology and Academic Research
(NYSTAR). In collaboration with
colleagues at Clarkson University
and industry partners, researchers
at Alfred University will use
the facility to consolidate nanosized
ceramic powders into multi-layer
and monolithic ceramics, while
retaining the enhanced properties
associated with nanostructured
materials.

Glass Inc. - Analytical Lab
- Chemistry Division
Utilizing an Inductively Coupled
Plasma (ICP) and dilution by mass
techniques, our chemists are experts
and are able to analyze greater
than 60 elements and/or oxides.
Analyses are performed with accuracies
and precision uncommonly found
in the field of spectroscopy.
This capability allows us to provide
more dependable compositional
information for the materials
we analyze. In addition to these
facts, throughout an analysis,
we incorporate NIST traceable,
certified references to assure
the ICP produces accurate and
precise data. Our testing capablities
include metal and metal alloy
analysis.
Preforms
CGI machines its own tooling for
the manufacture of preforms. These
preforms are customer specified
requiring precision within 0.0001
of an inch. Currently, CGI is
producing various types of glass,
such as Corning Incorporated's
9010 and 9013, as well as many
other sealing glasses all retaining
unique properties.
Tubing
We have tubing production capabilities
meeting OD and ID specifications
to 0.001 of an inch
Industrial
Liquid Filtration
CerCor
Separations, a division of
Corning Incorporated’s
Environmental Products Division,
makes and markets high temperature
ceramic gas filters. Typical
applications for these filters
include pollution control devices
for power plants and incinerators
plus applications such as the
recovery of valuable products
from the high temperature gas
streams used to process minerals
and ores.
The
starting materials for CerCor
are porous ceramic honeycomb substrates
similar to those used for automobile
catalytic converters. CerCor applies
an impermeable ceramic membrane
to the walls of the honeycomb
substrate and then reconfigures
the honeycomb channels by plugging
alternative cells to convert the
honeycomb into an absolute filter.
Relative to alternative filtration
media, the more rugged CerCor
filter offers higher operating
temperature capabilities in a
more compact package.

Electrical
Power worX (EPX) was established
in 2007 with the mandate to develop
Energy Management solutions. These
systems are specifically designed
to promote energy conservation
and renewable, clean energy. Electrical
Power worX is developing Energy
Management products for multiple
applications that include: Hybrid
and Full Electric Vehicles, Mass
Transit, Renewable Energy, Residential
and large-scale Utilities.
In
addition to application development,
Electrical Power worX is researching
potential new technologies for
energy storage elements, and have
recognized the potential benefits
that ceramic-based elements can
provide. Ceramic-based elements
have demonstrated excellent ability
to improve energy density thereby
reducing the cost per kWh, while
maintaining the power density
required for a wide variety of
Energy Management applications.
Providing
systems-level solutions in concert
with developing state of the industry
core technologies allows Electrical
Power
worX to respond to any customer’s
needs. If you would like to
discuss your Energy Management
needs, please contact Electrical
Power worX at (607) 382-2130.

Nupix
is a start up company whose goal
is to develop and market fiber-based
flat panel displays. The company
was formed March 2000 as a renaming
of Moore Vision, formed August
1998. Over the past 5 years the
founder of Nupix, Chad Moore,
President has generated an extensive
patent portfolio around the fiber-based
display technology. Thus far over
20 patents have been filled around
the fiber-based display technology,
of which 11 have been granted,
and several more are in the works.
The fiber-based display technology
will revolutionize the large flat
panel display industry and Nupix,
with its patent position and display
knowledge, is positioned to lead
this revolution. The key advantage
of the fiber-based displays is
in the technology and stems mainly
from simplifying the manufacturing
process steps and reducing the
number of steps by one half. This
simplification in the manufacturing
process provides a 50% manufacturing
cost savings over current display
technologies. Furthermore, the
equipment to manufacture the fiber-based
displays has a much lower cost
basis and only requires 10% of
the start-up capital of conventional
displays ($40 million vs. $400
million+).
The fiber-based technology can
be used to make very large high-resolution
displays and displays targeting
many different markets. Our technology
uniquely positions us to become
a major supplier and developer
of large size specialty displays.
In addition, the manufacturing
cost advantages of the fiber-based
structure will position us to
become a major contender in the
developing, high volume, mandated
digital HDTV market as both a
producer of displays and licensor
of technology.
