Hydrogen fluoride undercut of oxide layers may be reduced by using a low pressure mixture of gaseous hydrogen fluoride and gaseous ammonia mixture. Organic photoresists can be used as a masking material when using the gaseous hydrogen fluoride / ammonia mixture without resulting in an enhanced reaction rate. In addition, because of the reaction conditions, the dimensions in the oxide layer being etched can be specifically sized smaller than openings made in the overcoating masking material.

In the presence of certain polyols, a guar gum or similar polysaccharide thickener solution is boron crosslinked before achievement of complete hydration of the thickener, without compromising the viscosity level achieved in a fracturing fluid by the time it is pumped into the wellbore and fractures the subterranean formation adjacent the wellbore. Methods continuously involve hydrating a polysaccharide thickener to an extent of 10% to 75%, but less than full hydration. Before 75% hydration is exceeded, a boron crosslinker is added. Upon addition of the boron crosslinker, the fluid is injected into the wellbore to stimulate hydrocarbon production. Because less time is needed for hydration, well site mixing equipment is down-sized smaller to achieve better efficiency and cost savings.

The perch rim provides support for larger birds while they are eating from the feeder tray.

The formation of a bellows made up of a stack of a predetermined number of ring-convolutions and having an intermediate plate supported within said stack is achieved by supplying several thin metal rings, each having inner and outer edges. A pair of these metal rings are positioned in contiguous relationship and their adjacent inside edges are welded together to form a ring-convolution. This process is repeated until a sufficient number of ring-convolutions are made to eventually make the desired bellows. Before these separate ring-convolutions are fused to each other, an intermediate plate and a support ring are made. The intermediate plate is a disc of metal that is sized smaller than the inside diameter of the rings and is secured to the support ring. The support ring is then positioned between two formed ring-convolutions in contiguous relationship and the three abutting outside edges are welded to each other to form a support plate convolution. The already made ring-convolutions and the support plate convolution are then stacked in the desired order and in contiguous relationship. All not-yet welded adjacent outside edges of said ring-convolutions and said support plate convolution are then welded to form the bellows. A bottom plate is formed and welded to the outside edge of the bottommost ring-convolution and a top ring is finally welded to the uppermost convolution to complete the bellows. The top ring is meant to be welded to a base plate of an infusion pump.

A spring retractable reel having a pneumatic retraction governor or air motor for regulating the rewind speed of a spool for taking up a line of material. For example, an air motor includes a rotor having vanes, a first port opening onto one side of the rotor, and a second port opening onto a second side of the rotor. A valve adjustably restricts a continuous flow of ambient air through the second port, and the valve defines an opening sized smaller than the first port. The rotation of the spool and the rotor are fixedly coupled together, for example, with a chain. When the spool rewinds the line of material, the rotor rotates, which in turn draws ambient air through the first port, a portion of which ambient air is restricted from exiting the second port due to the valve thereby compressing air within the air motor to regulate or limit the speed at which the spool rewinds the line of material.
