Abstract: Disclosed herein are clay swelling inhibitor compositions and methods for using them to treat oil and gas wells and subterranean formations. In a specific embodiment, the clay swelling inhibitor composition includes: calcium chloride from about 40 wt % to about 60 wt %; potassium bicarbonate from about 15 wt % to about 25 wt %; potassium formate from about 25 wt % to about 35 wt %; and additives. In another specific embodiment, the clay swelling inhibitor composition includes: potassium citrate from about 50 wt % to about 60 wt %; cesium formate from about 20 wt % to about 30 wt %; potassium acetate from about 15 wt % to about 25 wt %; and additives.

Abstract: Provided is a grab and go themed coffee maker that stores and dispenses multiple ingredients into a cup or container with specific amounts of each ingredient according to the individual's beverage preferences and the desired time of day they want the beverage. It can be programmed for multiple users. This invention will accommodate multiple users with their desired hot beverage, their desired ingredients and their desired ingredient quantities at their desired brew time. It contains an LED screen with LED buttons as a user interface. In the interior it has multiple chambers with sensors inside each for storage of ingredients and each has dispensing mechanisms. The exterior tray where the cup or container for beverage is located also has an LED sensor. It also contains a microchip for use as an internal memory to store user interface settings and individual beverage preferences.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a homogeneous nanostructured thin film manufacture method provided with self-cleaning properties against organic substances to be applied directly on transparent materials surfaces used on optical components, especially in glasses or, on thin films with anti-reflex function previously deposited on this materials. More specifically, said method comprises a combination of hydrolytic and non-hydrolytic reactions. The self-cleaning action is activated by means of oxidation catalytic activity promoted in presence of titan dioxide (TiO2) and exposition to electromagnetic radiation.
