Abstract: A substance and method for treating a subterranean formation using hydraulic fracturing. A non-metallic, substantially deformable, proppant particle is "elastically flexible" or "plastically compressible" and adapted for use at concentrations which will substantially create a partial monolayer. The method for treating a formation with a non- metallic deformable proppant, includes the steps of injecting a carrier fluid into the formation, the carrier fluid carrying an amount of the deformable proppant, wherein the carrier fluid is injected at a pressure and a flow rate sufficient to create or open an existing fracture or fracture network in the formation, and placing at least a portion of the deformable proppant in the fracture, the deformable proppant forming substantially a partial monolayer in the fracture, and reducing the pressure and/or the flow rate sufficient to allow the fracture in the formation to at least partially close, wherein at least a portion of the deformable proppant remains in the fracture to prop open at least a portion of the fracture.

Abstract: A laser range finder (LRF) (20) is used to identify an aircraft (12) approaching a gate. The LRF (20) is directed at the aircraft (12), and from the echoes, a profile is derived and compared to known profiles. To distinguish among aircraft (12) with similar profiles, the LRF is directed at a volume in which a feature such as an engine is expected and at another volume in which the engine is not expected. The echoes from the two volumes are used to determine whether the engine is in its expected location. If so, the aircraft (12) is identified as the correct type and is allowed to dock at the gate (16). Otherwise, the aircraft (12) is stopped. The nose height can be used as yet another identifying criterion.
