Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for removing proppant from fluid used in an oil and gas well for reuse in future operations. The proppant is separated from the well fluid and transported to a materials collection tank. A crane then transports the materials collection tank onto a processing boat. On the processing boat, the proppant is vacuumed from the materials collection tank to a hopper. The proppant is then discharged from the hopper into a holding tank for treatment and reuse. In a first alternative embodiment, two hoppers are positioned above each other so that the proppant can be added to the upper hopper and then fed by gravity to the lower hopper. A valving arrangement maintains vacuum within the interior of at least one hopper at all times to provide a continuous vacuum operation. A conduit discharges from the lower hopper into the holding tank.

Abstract: A process using integrated sensor technology in which a
micromachined sensing element (12) and signal processing circuit (14) are
combined on a single semiconductor substrate (20) to form, for example, an
infrared sensor (10). The process is based on modifying a CMOS process to
produce an improved layered micromachined member, such as a diaphragm
(16), after the circuit fabrication process is completed. The process generally
entails forming a circuit device (14) on a substrate (20) by processing steps that
include forming multiple dielectric layers (34,36,38,44,46) and at least one
conductive layer (40,50) on the substrate (20). The dielectric layers
(34,36,38,44,46) comprise an oxide layer (34) on a surface of the substrate (20)
and at least two dielectric layers (36,46) that are in tension, with the conductive
layer (40,50) being located between the two dielectric layers (36,46). The
surface of the substrate (20) is then dry etched to form a cavity (32) and
delineate the diaphragm (16) and a frame (18) surrounding the diaphragm (16).
The dry etching step terminates at the oxide layer (34), such that the diaphragm
(16) comprises the dielectric layers (34,36,38,44,46) and conductive layer
(40,50). A special absorber (52) is preferably fabricated on the diaphragm (16)
to promote efficient absorption of incoming infrared radiation.

Abstract: This invention relates to fertilizer and herbicide compositions. The present invention provides a composition for selective fertilization of a transgenic plant comprising a polypeptide which metabolizes a D-amino acid substrate; said composition comprising said D-amino acid substrate. Another aspect of the present invention provides a selective herbicide composition comprising a D-amino acid.

Methods and means are also provided for selectively modulating the growth and stress tolerance such plants using D-amino acids. The methods can be used either for detoxification of phytotoxic D-amino acids such as D-alanine and D-serine, thereby allowing for selection of plants comprising said D-amino acid metabolizing enzymes, or for enhancing toxicity of lesser phytotoxic D-amino acids such as D-isoleucine, thereby allowing for selection of plants not comprising said D-amino acid metabolizing enzymes.
