Title: Blasting system and blasting method
Inventor: ELANGOVAN SINGARAVELU
IPC: F42B33/06
Filed: 2007-04-16
Abstract: The object is to rapidly clean-up an off-gas generated by explosion treatment in a pressure-resistant container to such a level that the off-gas can be exhausted. A target substance is subjected to explosion treatment in the inside of a pressure-resistant container to generate an off-gas.

Title: Nano-sized particles for stabilizing viscoelastic surfactant fluids
Inventor: TREADWAY JAMES H
IPC: C09K8/70
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: An aqueous, viscoelastic fluid gelled with a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) is stabilized and improved with an effective amount of an alkali earth metal oxide alkali earth metal hydroxide, alkali metal oxides, alkali metal hydroxides transition metal oxides, transition metal hydroxides, post-transition metal oxides, and post-transition metal hydroxides. These fluids are more stable and have a reduced or no tendency to precipitate, particularly at elevated temperatures.
