Abstract: A high articulation glove includes a covering for a human hand. The covering includes a palm portion, a dorsal portion, a thumb sheath, an index finger sheath, a middle finger sheath, a ring finger sheath, and a small finger sheath. At least one hook or loop fastener is attached to a distal phalanx portion of at least one of the finger sheaths on a palm side of the covering. The at least one hook or loop fastener has a size smaller than the distal phalanx portion of the corresponding at least one finger sheath on the palm side of the covering it is attached to.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing well bores is disclosed. The apparatus comprises plates which initially have a width smaller than the diameter of the well bore to be sealed or plugged. The plates are fabricated from a mineral substance which has the property of swelling into an expanded state upon contact with and absorption of a liquid. The apparatus further comprises means for placing the plate within the well bore. Among the mineral substances which may be utilized for forming the plate are members of the group of clay minerals known as smectites, including sodium montmorillonite, calcium montmorillonite, sodium bentonite, and calcium bentonite. A method sealing a well bore with the apparatus is disclosed.
