Abstract: A heat dissipation module for being assembled to a circuit board with a first heat-generating element and a second heat-generating element is provided. A heat generation rate of the first heat-generating element is higher than that of the second heat-generating element. The heat dissipation module includes a heat-transferring connection element, a cooling device, a first heat-transferring plate and a second heat-transferring plate. The heat-transferring connection element has a first part and a second part. The cooling device connects to the first part. The first heat-transferring plate is connected between the first heat-generating element and the second part. The second heat-transferring plate has a third part and a fourth part. The second part is connected between the first heat-transferring plate and the third part. The fourth part is connected to the second heat-generating element. The thermal conductivity of the first heat-transferring plate is higher than that of the second heat-transferring plate.

Abstract: An oil recovery process is disclosed which uses a particular class of alkylaryl sulfonate surfactants. The surfactants are derived from an alpha-olefin stream having a broad distribution of even carbon numbers ranging from 12 to 58. The olefin stream is reacted with aromatic feedstock, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or a mixture thereof to form alkylates, and then reacted with SO3 to form sulfonic acids. The resulting surfactant has high solubilization and ultra-low interfacial tension with crude oils, especially waxy crude oil, having a broad distribution of carbon numbers.

Abstract: A method for emplacing a silicate gel to improve the sweep efficiency of a water, gas, or steam flood operation by reducing the permeability of high-permeability thief zones is disclosed. Controlled quantities of a silicate solution and either a gas or a gas and an organic acid are injected into a well to infiltrate and generate a controlled amount of a silicate gel of a controlled SiO.sub.2 concentration in the high-permeability thief zones, to reduce the permeability thereof. Base agents and weak acids may be added to control gel generation rate. Methods for selective emplacement of silicate gels into thief zones through a well without selective injection facilities are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for improving the sweep efficiency of gas or steam flooding operations by reducing the permeability of relatively high permeability thief zones of an oil bearing subterranean reservoir having heterogeneous and/or fracture permeability and that is penetrated by at least one well is disclosed. A controlled quantity of a surfactant is injected into a high-permeability zone of a reservoir. Controlled quantities of a gas and a subsequent surfactant are then injected, simultaneously or alternatively into the same well, so that a controlled amount of foam having a controlled quality is generated in the high permeability zone, thereby reducing permeability. Following foam emplacement, a chase gas may be injected, and the steps of injecting surfactant and gas may be repeated as necessary to lower the gas-oil ration of non-problem offset producing wells to a preset limit.
