A method for determining a Plug Normal Stress Difference (ΔN1(P)) may include providing a test base drilling fluid that is characterized by N1(TB); adding a first concentration of a test particulate to the test base drilling fluid; adjusting the concentration of the test particulate in the test base drilling fluid to achieve a minimum concentration of the test particulate in the test base drilling fluid that will substantially plug a tapered slot, wherein the test base drilling fluid with the minimum concentration of the test particulate is characterized by N1(TA); and calculating ΔN1(P)=|N1(TA)|−|N1(TB)| wherein each First Normal Stress Difference is measured by the same procedure.

Apparatus and methods for simulation of bore hole fractures are disclosed. A device for simulating a fracture in a subterranean formation comprises a housing, an inlet for directing a sample fluid to the housing, and a first disk and a second disk positioned within the housing. The second disk is movable relative to the first disk to form an adjustable gap between the first disk and the second disk and the sample fluid flows through the adjustable gap. A common collector receives at least a portion of the sample fluid that flows through at least one of the first disk and the second disk.

An epithelial detector and method for automatically identifying epithelial portions of a tissue sample, includes: staining the tissue sample with at least two dyes; applying a color transformation to a color image of the tissue sample to obtain one or more color channels; and applying a trained convolutional neural network to the color channels to obtain a decision for position in the tissue as to whether it is inside or outside an epithelial layer. Also, a method for training the convolutional neural network.

Of the many compositions and methods provided herein, one method includes providing a drilling fluid comprising a base drilling fluid and a plurality of particulates, wherein the base drilling fluid without the particulates is characterized by N1(B) and wherein the base drilling fluid with the particulates is characterized by N1(A); and adjusting a concentration of the particulates in the drilling fluid by comparing the value of ΔN1(F) to ΔN1(P) so that ΔN1(F)≧ΔN1(P), wherein ΔN1(F)=|N1(A)|−|N1(B)|.
摘要:
Substrate processing systems are described that have a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) unit positioned inside a process chamber. The CCP unit may include a plasma excitation region formed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode may include a first plurality of openings to permit a first gas to enter the plasma excitation region, and the second electrode may include a second plurality of openings to permit an activated gas to exit the plasma excitation region. The system may further include a gas inlet for supplying the first gas to the first electrode of the CCP unit, and a pedestal that is operable to support a substrate. The pedestal is positioned below a gas reaction region into which the activated gas travels from the CCP unit.

A method for the removal of soluble metal ion contamination from fluids is disclosed. The method includes passing the contaminated fluid through a filter medium comprising a reducing metal and a filter aid, such as diatomaceous earth, and collecting a filtrate with lower concentration of soluble metal ion contamination. The reducing metal can have a reduction potential of from −0.50 volt to −3.10 volt and can be capable of reducing the soluble metal ions to insoluble metal, which can then be entrapped in the filter medium or otherwise separated.

In a plasma reactor employing source and bias RF power generators, plasma is stabilized against an engineered transient in the output of either the source or bias power generator by a compensating modulation in the other generator.
摘要:
A plasma reactor with plasma confinement and plasma radial distribution capability. The reactor comprises a reactor chamber including a side wall and a workpiece support pedestal in the chamber and defining a pumping annulus between the pedestal and side wall and a pumping port at a bottom of the pumping annulus. The reactor further comprises a means for confining gas flow in an axial direction through the pumping annulus to prevent plasma from flowing to the pumping port. The reactor further comprises a means for compensating for asymmetry of gas flow pattern across the pedestal arising from placement of the pumping port. The reactor further comprises a means for controlling plasma distribution having an inherent tendency to promote edge-high plasma density distribution. The means for confining gas flow is depressed below the workpiece support sufficiently to compensate for the edge-high plasma distribution tendency of the means for controlling plasma distribution.
摘要:
A watermark message embedded in a cover work can be made robust to various types of post-embedding operations, while simultaneously minimizing perceptual impact on the cover work. This is accomplished by the informed coding of the watermark message to be embedded. This is also accomplished by the informed embedding of the watermark message code in the cover work. Finally, the watermark message code may be perceptually shaped to minimize impact on the fidelity of the watermarked work. Further, these techniques may be combined for maximum effect.
