| 20090294179 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING FLUID LOSS AND MATERIALS USEFUL THEREIN - A method of controlling the loss of a drilling fluid from a well bore into a subterranean formation in which one illustrative embodiment includes: drilling the well bore with an aqueous based drilling fluid that includes an aqueous phase and a shale hydration inhibitor that is a polyether amine compound, and circulating into the well bore a fluid pill including a dialdehyde crosslinking agent. The dialdehyde crosslinking agent reacts with the polyether amine compound and forms a polymeric material. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20080269079 | Polymer Coated Bridging Solids and Weighting Agents for Use in Drilling Fluids - A wellbore fluid having at least two phases, including a fluid phase and a solid phase. The solid phase is a powdered solid material coated with a polymer that is the reaction product of a polyether amine and a dialdehyde crosslinking agent. Preferably the polyether amine is a diamine and more preferably the compound acts as a shale hydration inhibitor. The dialdehyde crosslinking agent reacts with the polyether amine compound and forms the polymeric material coating the solid. The polymer is substantially solubilized when the pH of the fluid has a value of less than about 7. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080251118 | Photovoltaic device - A method of forming a photovoltaic device includes a plurality of quantum wells and a plurality of barriers. The quantum wells and barriers are disposed on an underlying layer. The barriers alternate with the quantum wells. One of the plurality of quantum wells and the plurality of barriers is comprised of tensile strained layers and the other of the plurality of quantum wells and the plurality of barriers is comprised of compressively strained layers. The tensile and compressively strained layers have elastic properties. The method includes selecting compositions and thicknesses of the barriers and quantum wells taking into account the elastic properties such that each period of one tensile strained layer and one compressively strained layer exerts substantially no shear force on a neighboring structure; providing the underlying layer; and forming the quantum sells and barriers on the underlying layer according to the derived compositions and thicknesses. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20080230112 | Photovoltaic cells - A photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic device that includes a lower photovoltaic cell fabricated from semiconductor material having a first bandgap, and having first electrical contacts for extraction of current from the lower cell; an electrically insulating layer monolithically fabricated on the lower photovoltaic cell; and an upper photovoltaic cell monolithically fabricated on the electrically insulating layer from semiconductor material having a second bandgap larger than the first bandgap, and having second electrical contacts for extraction of current from the upper cell. The photovoltaic system also includes one or more first photon sources operable to supply photons to the photovoltaic device, the photons having wavelengths in a first wavelength range associated primarily with the first bandgap. The photovoltaic system further includes one or more second photon sources operable to supply photons to the photovoltaic device, the photons having wavelengths in a second wavelength range primarily associated with the second bandgap. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20100267917 | POLYISOPRENE CONDOMS - The present invention relates to processes for making synthetic polyisoprene latex and synthetic polyisoprene condoms. A process for making a compounded synthetic polyisoprene latex suitable for making a latex film comprises (a) compounding a synthetic polyisoprene latex with suitable compounding ingredients, (b) maturing the latex and optionally (c) storing the latex; characterised in that steps (a), (b) and (c) if included are carried out at a low temperature so as to minimise prevulcanisation of the latex. Condoms can be made from latexes produced according to the process of the invention. | 10-21-2010 |
