摘要： A device, positioned within a well bore, configured to generate and direct an acoustic beam into a rock formation around a borehole is disclosed. The device comprises a source configured to generate a first signal at a first frequency and a second signal at a second frequency; a transducer configured to receive the generated first and the second signals and produce acoustic waves at the first frequency and the second frequency; and a non-linear material, coupled to the transducer, configured to generate a collimated beam with a frequency equal to the difference between the first frequency and the second frequency by a non-linear mixing process, wherein the non-linear material includes one or more of a mixture of liquids, a solid, a granular material, embedded microspheres, or an emulsion.

摘要： The present invention is a method and apparatus for acoustically manipulating one or more particles. Acoustically manipulated particles may be separated by size. The particles may be flowed in a flow stream and acoustic radiation pressure, which may be radial, may be applied to the flow stream. This application of acoustic radiation pressure may separate the particles. In one embodiment, the particles may be separated by size, and as a further example, the larger particles may be transported to a central axis.

摘要： Metal hydride materials react with BZ3 compounds in the presence of ligand to form BH3-L compounds. A compound of the formula HBZ2 is prepared from a compound of the formula BZ3 by reacting a first amount of a compound of the formula HBZ2 with a metal hydride material 'MH' and a compound 'L' to form a material of the formula BH3-L, and then reacting the BH3-L thus formed with a compound of the formula BZ3 to form HBZ2 in a second amount greater than the first amount of HBZ2. Z is selected from alkoxy, aryloxy, amido, arylamido, doubly substituted alkoxy, doubly substituted aryloxy, doubly substituted amido, doubly substituted arylamido, alkoxy-amido, and aryloxy-arylamido. When Z is bidentate, then HBZ2 has a ring structure. 'L' is selected from ethers, aromatic ethers, amines, aromatic amines, heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, sulfides, aromatic sulfides, and heterocyclic sulfur compounds. 'L' becomes a ligand in the BH3-L material.

摘要： The use of a non-thermal source which is capable of operation at 760 torr is demonstrated. As an example of the application of the present invention, a helim/oxygen gas mixture is introduced into the annular region (20) between two coaxial electrodes (14) driven by a 13.56 MHz radio frequency (RF) source (18) at between 40 and 500 W to produce a stable plasma jet. As detected by optical emission spectroscopy (OES), a high flux of metastable oxygen and no ions are present at the exit of this plasma jet. Silicon dioxide films are deposited by introducing tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) into the effluent stream. A deposition rate of 3020 +/- 250 ANGSTROM /min. is achieved with an RF power of 400 W, 0.2 torr of TEOS, 11.1 torr of oxygen, 748.7 torr of helium, and a total gas flow rate of 41 L/m.

摘要： The present invention describes a composition including a mixture of L- and D- pyroglutamate stereoisomers in a ratio of L to D of from about 80:20 to about 97:3, and, a carrier medium for application of the L- and D- pyroglutamate stereoisomers to a target plant. The composition can also be used as a germination medium and may be incorporated into a seed coat for assisting in germination. The present invention further describes a method of increasing the agronomic performance of a target plant by treating a target plant with a composition including a mixture of L- and D- pyroglutamate stereoisomers in a ratio of L to D of from about 80:20 to about 97:3 and a carrier medium for said L- and D- pyroglutamate stereoisomers.

摘要： Improvements in critical current capacity for superconducting film structures are disclosed and include the use of, e.g., multilayer high temperature barium-copper oxide structures where individual high temperature barium-copper oxide layers are separated by a thin layer of a metal oxide material such as CeO2 and the like.
