Hi Dennis,

In[1]:= ru = {{RP2 -> -7.265190176252972*^-7,
    RP1 -> 2.360865132070388*^-6},
   {RP2 -> 0.00001024210507399882,
    RP1 -> 5.269714033120727*^-7},
   {RP2 -> 3.733028325153595*^-7,
    RP1 -> 2.232745757286505*^-7}}

Out[1]=
{{RP2 -> -7.265190176252972*^-7,
   RP1 -> 2.360865132070388*^-6},
  {RP2 -> 0.00001024210507399882,
   RP1 -> 5.269714033120727*^-7},
  {RP2 -> 3.733028325153595*^-7,
   RP1 -> 2.232745757286505*^-7}}

In[2]:= {RP1, RP2} /.
  Cases[ru, {_ -> a_, _ -> b_} /;  a > 0 && b > 0 && a + b < 10^(-6)]

Out[2]= {{2.232745757286505*^-7, 3.733028325153595*^-7}}
