The present invention provides a conductive adhesive agent capable of being diluted with a solvent to give good coating workability and allowing formation of a conductive joint excellent in both thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity by inhibiting a gas generated when a binder resin is heat-cured after attachment of a part. The conductive adhesive agent according to the present invention is a conductive adhesive agent wherein, based on 100 parts by weight of silver powder having an average particle diameter of micrometers, which is used for a conductive medium, e.g. as a main component, 1 to 10 parts by weight of silver fine particles having an average particle diameter of nanometers is used in combination therewith and 5 to 15 parts by weight of thermosetting resin as a binder resin component and 10 parts or less by weight of solvent for adjustment of a fluid viscosity are blended therein as essential components, and by selection of such a blending ratio, generation of a gas component during heating and curing of the thermosetting resin to prevent formation of voids, and at the same time, fabrication of a conductive joint excellent in thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity is achieved.

A method of acidizing a subterranean formation with a diverting agent composed of a gelled or thickened viscoelastic foam or fluid generated from (i.) an amidoamine oxide gelling agent and (ii.) an acid or foam, water and / or brine. The gelled or thickened foam or fluid may be generated in-situ or introduced directly into the formation by mixing of the amidoamine oxide gelling agent and acid or foam, water and / or brine. As the acid spends, the acidizing fluid thickens. When the acid is further spent, the fluid viscosity declines eventually returning to a low viscosity state, allowing for easy cleanup. The process allows for selective acidizing of less permeable zones of the formation and more uniform stimulation of the hydrocarbon bearing formation.

Methods for determining a viscosity of a fluid passing through a fluid pump are disclosed. An amount of energy associated with axially moving a rotor may be determined and correlated to a viscosity of fluid interacting therewith. For example, energy associated with a response of a suspended rotor may be determined. The amount of energy may be correlated with a viscosity of the fluid interacting with the rotor. The rotor may be initially unsuspended and an amount of energy associated with suspending the rotor may be determined and correlated with a viscosity of fluid interacting with the rotor. In another method, subsequent to suspending a rotor, the rotor may be unsuspended and an energy response of the rotor may be quantified to determine a viscosity of fluid passing through the pump. Systems for determining a viscosity of a fluid are also disclosed.

A multifunctional suture needle that may be used to draw a suture through tissue surrounding a wound while simultaneously delivering a bioactive fluid through the needle tip. The suture needle possesses an internal cavity capable of containing a fluid, and a fine aperture adjacent to the point of the needle through which the fluid may egress. The fluid may be driven from the needle through the needle tip with a compressed gas that is sealed within the cavity adjacent to the fluid. Alternatively a fluid conducting suture may be employed to deliver fluid through the internal passage of the suture needle and out the aperture adjacent to the tip of the needle. The rate at which the fluid is emitted from the suture needle may be controlled by carefully selecting the fluid viscosity, design of the needle or suture passages, and pressure applied to the fluid.
