A method of increasing productivity and recovery of wells in oil and gas fields includes determining a direction of maximal horizontal stresses, producing at least two wells so that they are spaced from one another in a direction corresponding to the direction of the maximum horizontal stresses, forming in at least one of the wells at least one vertical slot oriented substantially from the at least one well to the other of the wells, and introducing a hydrofracturing fluid at least into the at least one well to produce a hydraulic fracture in direction from the at least one well to the other well.

The heat pipe has a condensing area at one end and an evaporating area at the other end. An ion drag pump is within the condensing area to receive dielectric refrigerant condensate in its inlet. There is a liquid carrying tube having one end connected to the pump outlet and having its other end terminating adjacent the evaporating area to discharge refrigerant condensate therein. The evaporating area has heat receiving flow paths into which the condensate is adapted to flow and be vaporized, there being a vapor flow path from the evaporating area through which the vaporized refrigerant returns to the condensing area. The method includes cooling one end of the heat pipe to liquefy refrigerant therein to form a condensate, flowing the condensate into an ion drag pump and applying a sufficiently high voltage across a cathode and anode of the pump to produce ions in the refrigerant condensate, the ions then being accelerated toward the anode so as to create fluid motion and pumping action through the pump inlet. The condensate is thereby pumped through a closed-wall flow path to the other end of the heat pipe to which heat is applied to evaporate the refrigerant into a vapor. The vapor from the other end is then flowed to the one end of the pipe in which the condensate is formed by cooling.

A locking and dead bolt locking device associated with the upper rail or frame portion of a window or door sash slideable in a fixed frame, having a latching arrangement engaging a horizontal rail portion and a dead bolt arrangement engaging the frame and mounted on an upper portion of the sash. The latching arrangement includes a tongue latch portion operable normal to the plane of the window and with the dead bolt being integrally carried thereby. When closed, the tongue portion of the latch engages a striker plate of said rail while the deadbolt is engaged with the frame to prevent opening of said latch. Simultaneously, the sash is secured with respect to the frame thereby providing a dual means for securing the sash in a close position in said frame.

An apparatus for controlling the flow of a gas, containing a controllable valve, wherein the position of the valve and the gas pressure upstream of the valve are measured and used in conjunction with a first lookup table to determine the flow rate of the gas through the valve; and a flow restrictor upstream of the controllable valve, wherein the temperature of the flow restrictor and the gas pressure upstream and downstream of the flow restrictor are measured and used in conjunction with a second lookup table to determine the flow rate of the gas through the flow restrictor.
