    摘要: A hand vacuum cleaner has a body portion housing a suction motor. An air treatment member assembly comprises an air treatment member assembly body, a rear door and an air treatment member. The air treatment member has a front end, a rear end, an air inlet and an air outlet provided at the rear end of the air treatment member. The air treatment member assembly is moveable to an emptying position. The rear door is moveable between a closed position and an open position, and the rear door houses a pre-motor filter that is external to the air treatment member.

    摘要: Processes and configurations for subterranean resource extraction are provided. The processes include installing borehole strings, such as by drilling a plurality of boreholes, for example, first and second boreholes, that extend from a surface region into a resource deposit. The first and second boreholes are situated adjacent to each other. Portions of the first and second boreholes laterally extend in a penannularly fashion and connect terminally at a nodal space situated within the resource deposit. Carrier fluid is injected from the surface along fluid paths defined by the boreholes to in situ leach resource materials from the resource deposit into the carrier fluid, and carrier fluid containing the resource materials is brought back to surface for resource extraction.
