Abstract:

A method of forming and maintaining a low temperature zone around at least a portion of a subsurface treatment area is described. The method includes reducing a temperature of heat transfer fluid with a refrigeration system. The heat transfer fluid is circulated through freeze well canisters and placed in a formation around at least a portion of the subsurface treatment area. An initial temperature of the heat transfer fluid supplied to a first freeze well canister is in a range from about −35 C. to about −55 C. At least one of the well canisters includes carbon steel. The heat transfer fluid is returned to the refrigeration system.

US Classification:

392301, 29860, 166302

Abstract:

A system for heating a subsurface formation is described. The system includes a first elongated heater in a first opening in the formation. The first elongated heater includes an exposed metal section in a portion of the first opening. The portion is below a layer of the formation to be heated. The exposed metal section is exposed to the formation. A second elongated heater is in a second opening in the formation. The second opening connects to the first opening at or near the portion of the first opening below the layer to be heated. At least a portion of an exposed metal section of the second elongated heater is electrically coupled to at least a portion of the exposed metal section of the first elongated heater in the portion of the first opening below the layer to be heated.

Abstract:

A high altitude construction including a buoyant device, a base installed on the ground level, a conduit connecting the buoyant device and the base, and an air raising device is provided. The air raising device includes a heating device for heating air. Air heated by the heating device passes through the conduit from the base to the buoyant device, and the heated air provides buoyant force to the buoyant device so that the buoyant device floats in the atmosphere and the conduit is suspended between the buoyant device and the base. The base also includes a turbine and an electricity generator connected to the turbine. The turbine is rotated by air flow in the conduit from the base to the buoyant device.

International Classification:

A61K009/127

US Classification:

424450000

Abstract:

Current application relates to a cosmetic powder that contains stabilized pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) by utilizing ‘multi-encapsulation method.’ Powders of pure vitamin C are well blended with mixtures of glycerin and lecithin to form a liposome of liquid emulsion state. The emulsion, which is comprised of vitamin C, glycerin and lecithin, is encapsulated with CAB-O-SIL TS-which is micro particle of silica treated with hexamethyldisilazane. On the other hand, emollient ingredient of jojoba oil is impregnated into pores of another porous micro powder of silica which is mixed with micro powders of polymethyl methacrylate. The emulsion encapsulated by CAB-O-SIL powder and the jojoba oil impregnated porous micro silica powder are blended to form aggregates of oil impregnated micro porous powders surrounding an liposome encapsulated by powders of CAB-O-SIL. Final product of aggregate is powder form in normal state. But, the powder changes to a liquid state when sprayed on a user's skin and apply pressure.
