| 20100314108 | Dual-Function Nano-Sized Particles - Dual-function nano-sized particles or nanoparticles may be effective at fixating or reducing fines migration and they may facilitate identification of a particular zone in a well having more than one zone. In some embodiments the dual-function nanoparticles are tagged with a detectable material that is distinguishable from the composition of the primary nanoparticle component. In these embodiments, the taggant material rather than the primary component of the nanoparticles may be used to enable identification of a particular zone. The nanoparticles (with or without taggant) may be added to a treatment fluid containing carrier particles such as proppant. The treatment fluid is pumped downhole to one of the zones; each zone receiving its own unique or uniquely-tagged nanoparticles. Should one of the zones fail, the composition of the nanoparticles (or its taggant) produced on the carrier particles may be correlated to the zone from which it was received, and hence produced. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20110014778 | Boron-10 coating process for neutron detector integrated circuit with high aspect ratio trenches - A coating process to infill high aspect-ratio vias and trenches in semiconductor substrates with dense boron for the production of neutron detectors and other devices uses a vacuum cathodic arc or other source of fully ionized boron plasma. Biasing of the substrate is used to impart energies to the plasma ions directing them toward the substrate, while repulsing the electrons. The full ionization produced by the source allows control of the energies of the boron ions by means of the bias voltage. The bias is alternated between coating deposition at low ion energies and sputtering of already coated material by energetic ions. Most of the sputtered material comes off the substrate top surface and between the trenches or vias and much of it is redeposited, thereby contributing to the infill. The process is suitable for carbon, boron or similar light elements, and is of particular interest for | 01-20-2011 |
