  • Patent number: 9880089
    Abstract: An array chip design is provided where the chip includes a field region arranged with sites according to a first pitch and at least one track region having a one-dimensional site pattern arranged according to a second pitch that is less dense and is an integer multiple of the first pitch so that observation through pixel-based sensors using one-dimensional quad-cell averaging can be applied in the track region, thereby to attain alignment of the chip to pixel-based optical instrumentation with a higher density of sites.

  • Patent number: 7550049
    Abstract: The subject of this invention relates to method carburizing of steel products, mainly parts of machines, vehicles and every mechanical apparatus, in vacuum furnaces under reduced pressure and elevated temperature. The method of under-pressure carburizing of steel workpieces according to present invention relates to introduction of active nitrogen carrier during heating up of the load. Introduction of the active nitrogen carrier is terminated when the load reaches temperature required to start carburizing process; from this temperature the carbon carrier is added. Pressure in the furnace chamber during continuous or pulse introduction of the active nitrogen carrier should be maintained within the ranges from 1 to 500 mbar.

  • Patent number: 7513958
    Abstract: The subject of present invention relates to mixture for carburizing of steel products, mainly parts of machines, vehicles and every mechanical apparatus, used in vacuum furnaces. Present invention relates to mixture for under-pressure carburizing containing the carbon carrier comprising two unsaturated hydrocarbons, likely ethylene and acetylene, in volume ratio from 0.1 to 2.00. The carbon carrier can be further mixed with hydrogen or ammonia.

  • Publication number: 20070201305
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing well treatment fluid is disclosed that includes a proppant storage and metering unit; a chemical storage and metering unit connected to a blending unit; and an electronic control system connected to the proppant storage and metering unit, the chemical storage and metering unit, and the blending unit; wherein the proppant storage and metering unit, chemical storage and metering unit, and blending unit are contained in a single land-based enclosure. A method for manufacturing well treatment fluid is disclosed that includes delivering to a blending unit a desired rate of proppant by weighing a proppant storage and metering unit storing the proppant; and adjusting the size of a calibrated aperture on the proppant storage and metering unit. A method for manufacturing multiple well treatment fluids at a single location is disclosed. Methods of monitoring the usage of well treatment components during the manufacture of well treatment components are disclosed.
