20150322764	Process, Method, and System for Removing Heavy Metals from Fluids - The simultaneous control of the two forms of mercury in petroleum reservoirs (elemental and particulate HgS) is accomplished by the use of agents which react with the elemental mercury and bind the particulate HgS to the formation material: a mercury capture agent and a chemical sand control agent. The elemental control agent reacts with and adsorbs the elemental mercury. The chemical sand control agents reduce or eliminate the dislodging of fine particulate mercury from the surface of the formation material. This simultaneous control can be applied for a new well during well completion operations wherein analyses indicate the presence of mercury. This simultaneous control can also be applied to a currently producing well during a work-over when mercury is detected in the gas or crude products.	11-12-2015

20150042047	HOLLOW, ELASTIC EXPANSION-JOINT SEAL - An elastic seal for a building joint which includes internal walls or dividers which change orientation when the seal is compressed for placement into the building joint. The change in orientation allow for the seal to apply a relatively uniform force against the joint walls extending from the bottom wall to the top wall of the seal. Additionally, the change in orientation reduces the deflection of the top wall of the seal upwardly when compressed in the building joint. The walls also become more vertically oriented when the seal in compressed. This vertical orientation provides increased load support for the top wall when the seal is compressed into a joint.	02-12-2015
