Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and apparatuses that use granular specifications and non-personally identifiable information provided by a consumer and a third party to suggest suitable products and services utilizing the Universal Consumer Identification Systems (UCIS) and subsystems. The Universal Consumer Identification (UCID) is assigned to each registered consumer to maintain privacy and to create a unique profile for the UCIS to present relevant products and services to a consumer on a personal computer, laptop, smart phone, smart watch, and other smart devices with electronic notifications or visual and audible alerts via a battery-powered wireless Universal Smart Alert (USA) apparatus at any physical location in the world that third parties are participated.

Abstract: The present invention incorporates unique methods and components for data entry and typing using the components including an ergonomic keyboard with substantially and uniformly low-profile key elevation in combination with built-in germicidal, non-germicidal light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser lights to disinfect and illuminate surface of the lowly situated key caps and adjacent affected surfaces.

Abstract: Vessels including an enclosure having an outer perimeter and an interior space, a channel disposed in the interior space, a first port disposed on a surface of the first enclosure at or proximate to a first end of the channel, and a second port disposed on a surface of the first enclosure at or proximate to a second end of the channel, where the channel has a length greater than the shortest distance between the first port and the second port, and where the first port and the second port are in fluid communication with one another. In some cases, the length of the channel is greater than a length of the outer perimeter.

Abstract: A plurality of embodiments of improved ergonomic keyboards of the present invention that provide a natural flow for keyboardists to have efficient wrists, hands, and arms postures with grid key arrangements at optimal angel, in which typing activities are distributed to stronger fingers and thumbs. One or more heuristics comprise a heuristic of one or more finger contacts on the integral section, the built-in touchpad, a heuristic of one or more finger contacts on one or more keycaps correspond to one or more instructions to be processed by one or more microcontrollers and/or processors. In addition to the low profile key elevation, built-in ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) lights, and the modular keyboard housing that provides extended support to the keyboardist' palms and maintain the wrists, arms, shoulders at natural positions for healthy typing experience.

Abstract: A frac blender mounted on a transport vehicle and adapted for movement along a vertical, linear path between a raised stowed position and a lowered operating position. The frac blender is moved between positions by a drive system that is slip connected to the frac blender for minimizing binding stress. The frac blender is supported by a support member that is slip connected to the transport vehicle via a support frame for minimizing bending stress.

Abstract: A valve apparatus that has a longitudinal axis therethrough comprises a valve seat member, a valve closure member, a fluid flow path, and a screening member. The valve seat member comprises a hollow bore and a first frustoconical contact surface. The valve closure member comprises a body and a second frustoconical contact surface that is adapted to seal against the first frustoconical contact surface. The valve closure member is movable along the longitudinal axis of the valve apparatus. The fluid flow path extends through the bore of the valve seat member and between the valve seat member and the valve closure member. This fluid flow path is closed when the second frustoconical contact surface is sealed against the first frustoconical contact surface. The screening member is attached to at least one of the valve closure member or the valve seat member, and screens particles from fluid passing through the fluid flow path when the valve closure member approaches the valve seat member.

Abstract: A support system for supporting a frac blender or other heavy load on a transport vehicle includes a support frame having vertically extending slides for a lift platform whereby the load may be moved between a stowed position and an operating position along a vertical, linear path within the limits of the support frame.
