Patent number: 9822621Abstract: A well treatment fluid contains a surface modifying treatment agent having an anchor and a hydrophobic tail. The surface modifying treatment agent is an organophosphorus acid derivative. After the well treatment fluid is pumped into a well penetrating the subterranean formation, the anchor binds to the surface of the formation. The subterranean formation is a siliceous formation or a metal oxide-containing subterranean formation. The anchor bonds to a Si atom when the formation is a siliceous formation and to the metal of the metal oxide when the formation is a metal oxide-containing formation. After being bound to the surface of the formation, frictional drag within the well is reduced. This allows for faster recovery of formation fluids. The bonding of the surface modifying treatment agent onto the formation may further be enhanced by first pre-treating the formation with a non-aqueous fluid.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLCInventors: Kimberly Lant, Naima Bestaoui-Spurr, Sumit Bhaduri, James B.

Patent number: 9747004Abstract: A Web application maintains a record of Web content that has been displayed by the Web application. The user can navigate to different previously displayed Web content by providing various user inputs, such as a swipe across a touchscreen. The Web application detects when a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, such as when the user swipes at least a threshold amount across a touchscreen. When a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, the Web application begins rendering in an empty tab the Web content that would be navigated to if the user input were a navigation input, the empty tab becoming a prerender tab. If the user continues and the user input results in a navigation input navigating to the Web content rendered in the prerender tab, then the Web application switches to displaying the prerender tab.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael J. Patten, Michael J. Ens, Ashmi S. Bhanushali, Phu Hoang Le, Shawn M. Woods

Patent number: 9685524Abstract: Systems and methods for narrow semiconductor trench structures. In a first method embodiment, a method for forming a narrow trench comprises forming a first layer of insulating material on a substrate and creating a trench through the first layer of insulating material and into the substrate. A second insulating material is formed on the first layer and on exposed portions of the trench and the second insulating material is removed from the first layer of insulating material and the bottom of the trench. The trench is filled with an epitaxial material and the first layer of insulating material is removed. A narrow trench is formed by the removal of remaining portions of the second insulating material.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2006Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: VISHAY-SILICONIXInventors: The-Tu Chau, Hoang Le, Kuo-In Chen

Publication number: 20170129615Abstract: An exhaust system for an aircraft galley chiller is provided. The exhaust system includes a galley having a chiller that includes an inlet, a condenser fan inlet, a condenser fan outlet proximate to chiller inlet, and a first flow of air through the condenser, an air ventilation outlet conduit that includes a second flow of air therethrough, and an ejector pump. The ejector pump includes a first airflow inlet, a second airflow inlet and an airflow outlet, wherein the first airflow inlet is coupled in flow communication with the condenser fan outlet, the second inlet is coupled in flow communication with the air ventilation outlet conduit. As the second airflow increases, the first velocity increases in a direction away from the galley chiller facilitating a decrease in temperature at the condenser fan inlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2017Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 9562188Abstract: A composite having a solid particulate and a surface modifying treatment agent on the solid particulate wherein the surface modifying treatment agent has a hydrophobic tail and an anchor for adhering the hydrophobic tail onto the solid particulate. The anchor may be metal and the hydrophobic tail may be an organo-silicon material, a fluorinated hydrocarbon or both an organo-silicon material and a fluorinated hydrocarbon. The composite may be used as a proppant in a hydraulic fracturing operation as well as a sand control particulate in a gravel packing operation. The presence of the surface modifying treatment agent on the surface of the solid particulate reduces the generation of fines and dust as well as the migration of sand during a hydraulic fracturing operation or a sand control operation. The presence of the surface modifying treatment agent on the surface of the solid particulate further enhances the crush resistance of the solid particulate.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Terry D.
