Abstract: A well apparatus including a magnetic field source positioned in a borehole and a magnetorheological fluid that forms a barrier pill proximate to the magnetic field source where the barrier pill formation isolates one well zone from another well zone. The apparatus may be used to define a treatment or cementation zone. A method for utilizing the apparatus for creation or maintenance of a well includes introducing a magnetorheological fluid into a borehole, forming a downhole barrier pill by providing a magnetic field source proximate to the fluid, and isolating one well zone from another well zone.

Abstract: Provided is a nonwoven surface preparation or cleaning material comprising melamine fibers and a process for preparing the material. The nonwoven material, in one embodiment, comprises from 20 to 100% by weight melamine fibers. Other synthetic and natural fibers can be used in conjunction with the melamine fibers. However, it is the melamine fibers which are important, and the actual amount can be varied based on the nature of the surface to be cleaned, cleaning difficulty and material cost.

Abstract: An apparatus for building, transporting, storing, and deploying viscous fluids, comprising: a cylinder comprising a full bore opening and a discharge outlet; a plunger assembly mounted within the cylinder; and a shredder screen mounted within the discharge outlet.

Abstract: Described are a method and system for mobilizing a management service platform. A connection between a mobile unit (“MU”) and a mobile service platform (“MSP”) appliance is established within an operating environment. A user of the MU is authenticated as an administrator. If the user is authenticated as the administrator, a mobile management interface (“MMI”) is launched on the MU, thereby changing a status of the MU to a managing device. A management instruction is generated via the MMI of the MU serving as the management device. At least one other MU is managed in accordance with the management instruction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preparation, storage, and/or deployment of a specialized fluid are disclosed. A system for preparation, storage, and/or deployment of a specialized fluid comprises a fluid vessel, a first, second, and third agitation unit, wherein each of the agitation units is at least partially disposed within the fluid vessel, a first, second, and third motor coupled to each of the agitation units, respectively, wherein each of the motors are independently operable. A method for preparing, storing, and/or deploying one or more specialized fluids comprises mixing a first specialized fluid in a first fluid vessel using any combination of a first, second, and third agitation unit and removing the first specialized fluid from the first fluid vessel.

Abstract: Versatile, efficient cell assays which can be prepared with use of nanolithography and can be used to test nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, toxins, and the like. For example, a method comprising: depositing at least one first composition comprising at least one cell adhesion material on at least one substrate to form a pattern which forms an interior space on the substrate within the pattern, depositing in the interior space on the substrate at least one second composition, different from the first, comprising at least one material adapted to affect or potentially affect cell function. Tip-based deposition and direct-write methods can be used for deposition at nanoscale and sub-cellular resolutions. Nanoscopic and atomic force microscope tips can be used. Multiplexing can be carried out.
