Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for utilizing urea in a bioreactor as a source of nitrogen.

Abstract: The nutrient device of the present invention includes a ground having a ground surface. The coulter is mounted for rotation about a coulter axis and the coulter penetrates the ground and makes the ground penetration below the ground surface. A cleaning wheel is mounted for rotation about a cleaning wheel axis, and the cleaning wheel extends upwardly from engaging the coulter to a cleaning wheel point spaced away from the coulter. A conduit is positioned to deliver a nutrient onto the coulter for dispensing the nutrient into the ground penetration. A closing wheel is positioned adjacent the rear of the coulter and the cleaning wheel for closing the ground penetration.

Abstract: A system (and its methods of use) for collecting and displaying images so as to create a visual effect and, more particularly but not by way of limitation, a three-dimensional visual effect.

Abstract: The invention discloses methods of, as well as apparatus and systems for, perforating and treating multiple intervals of one or more subterranean formations intersected by a wellbore by deploying within said wellbore a bottom-hole assembly (“BHA”) having a perforating device and a sealing mechanism, wherein pressure communication is established between the portions of the wellbore above and below the sealing mechanism. The BHA is positioned within the wellbore such that the sealing mechanism, when actuated, establishes a hydraulic seal in the wellbore to positively force fluid to enter the perforations corresponding to the interval to be treated. A treating fluid is pumped down the wellbore and into the perforations created in the perforated interval. The sealing mechanism is released, and the steps are repeated for as many intervals as desired, without having to remove the BHA from said wellbore.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to a system (and its methods of use) for collecting and displaying images so as to create a visual effect and, more particularly but not by way of limitation, a three-dimensional visual effect.

Abstract: A bioptic lens protector comprising a tube, a lens, and a backstop. The lens is contained between the backstop inserted into the tube and a ledge of the tube. The tube attaches to a bioptic lens. A tinted lens can be used to protect the eyes of a light sensitive person wearing bioptic lenses with attached bioptic lens protectors.

Abstract: It has been surprisingly found that certain properties including adhesion strength to smooth surfaces may be improved by making hot melt adhesives from blends comprising a poly-1-butene polymer, a tackifier resin, and from 3 wt. % to 25 wt. % of a liquid or semi-liquid, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated low molecular weight conjugated diene polymer prepared by anionic polymerization.

Abstract: This invention provides oil gel compositions which comprise a hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer (although other vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons may be used) which has an overall weight average molecular weight of from 30,000 to 300,000, a styrene block weight average molecular weight of from 4000 to 35,000, and a vinyl content of at least 45% by weight (% wt), preferably 45 to 90%, and an oil and, optionally, a polyolefin wax and/or an extender liquid. For every 100 parts by weight of copolymer, there should be at least 900 parts of oil or a mixture of oil and polyolefin wax and/or an extender liquid.

Abstract: This invention provides sealant compositions which comprise a hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer which has an overall weight average molecular weight of from 30,000 to 300,000, a styrene block weight average molecular weight of from 4000 to 35,000, and a vinyl content of at least 45% by weight (% wt), preferably 45 to 90%, and an adhesion promoting resin. For every 100 parts by weight of copolymer, there should be at least 20 parts of adhesion promoting resin.
