Abstract: A friction reducing treatment solution that includes water, from 100 to 500,000 ppm of total dissolved solids, and from 0.5 to 3 gallons per thousand gallons of a water-in-oil emulsion containing a water soluble polymer. The total dissolved solids include at least 10 weight percent of a multivalent cation. The water-in-oil emulsion includes an oil phase and an aqueous phase, where the oil phase is a continuous phase containing an inert hydrophobic liquid and the aqueous phase is present as dispersed distinct particles in the oil phase and contains water, the water soluble polymer, and surfactants and an inverting surfactant. The water soluble polymer is made up of 20 to 80 weight percent of a non-ionic monomer, 0.5 to 30 weight percent of a carboxylic acid containing monomer, and 5 to 70 weight percent of a cationic monomer and makes up from 10 to 35 weight percent of the water-in-oil emulsion.

Abstract: A aqueous solution that includes water, from 100,000 to 300,000 ppm of dissolved solids, from 0.5 to 3 gallons per thousand gallons of a water-in-oil emulsion, and an inverting surfactant. The water-in oil emulsion includes an oil phase and an aqueous phase where the oil phase is a continuous phase comprising an inert hydrophobic liquid and the aqueous phase is present as dispersed distinct particles in the oil phase. The aqueous phase contains water, a water soluble polymer, and surfactants. The water soluble polymer includes 30 to 50 weight percent of a non-ionic monomer, 5 to 15 weight percent of a sulfonic acid containing monomer, and 40 to 60 weight percent of a cationic monomer. The water soluble polymer makes up from 10 to 35 weight percent of the water-in-oil emulsion.

Abstract: Ampholyte polymeric compound that comprises at least one nonionic monomer, at least one sulfonic acid-containing monomer, and at least one cationic monomer may be useful in viscosifying treatment fluids for use in subterranean operations at a concentration of about 0.5 v/v % to about 30 v/v % of the treatment fluid. Such operations may involve introducing the treatment fluid into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation optionally at a pressure sufficient to create or extend at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Ampholyte polymeric compounds that comprise at least one nonionic monomer, at least one sulfonic acid-containing monomer, and at least one cationic monomer may be useful as friction reducing agents in treatment fluids for use in subterranean operations at a concentration of about 0.001 v/v % to about 0.5 v/v % of the treatment fluid. Such operations may involve introducing the treatment fluid into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation optionally at a rate and/or a pressure sufficient to create or extend at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A pet brush has an outwardly curved brush body integrally formed with a handle section. The outwardly curved brush body has a first radius of curvature at one end and a smaller, second radius of curvature at the handle section, second end. The brush body has bristles extending from the lower surface of the pet brush. The handle section extends inward from one end of the pet brush. The handle section has a spacer element and a gripping element. Two or three fingers of the user can grip the gripping element. The spacer element provides enough space for the two or three fingers to fit under the gripping element and above the brush body. Alternately, the handle section can extend from along the length of the brush body. Two or three fingers can grip the gripping section or fit sideways between the gripping section and the brush body.

Abstract: The Sprayrite Wheelcover is a device that can be used to detail your favorite vehicle and decrease time and energy necessary to remove greasy overspray. Place the wheel cover over the vehicle rim, then apply your favorite tire dressings. When the cover is removed there will be no messy, greasy overspray to be removed from the rim.

Abstract: A single rope tie down device has a single rope with an internal passageway and two S-hooks. The single rope has a first end and a second end. The internal passageway is proximate to the first end of the rope. The first S-hook is attached to the first end of the single rope. The second S-hook is freely moveable along the single rope between the internal passageway and the second end of the rope. The second end of the rope passes through the eyelet of the first S-hook and then passes through the internal passageway of the single rope forming a closed, adjustable length loop in the single rope. The second S-hook is moveable along the single rope within the loop. The loop can be tightened or loosened to secure the S-hooks to an item below the single rope tie down device to a carrier.

Abstract: A pet brush has an outwardly curved brush section integrally connected to a handle section. The brush section has bristles extending from the pet brush on the outward curve. The handle section extends inward from one end of the pet brush. The handle section has a spacer element and a gripping element. Two or three fingers of the user can grip the upper surface of the gripping element while the first digits of the two or three fingers will curl under to grip the lower surface of the gripping element. The spacer element provides enough space for the first digits of the two or three fingers to fit under the gripping element and above the brush section. The outwardly curved brush section has a first radius of curvature at one end and a smaller, second radius of curvature at the handle section, second end.
