Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present application relate to a variable frequency drive (VFD) cabin for a pump configuration including a mobile trailer on which the VFD cabin is to be mounted. The VFD cabin generally includes a medium-voltage VFD and a ventilation system. In certain embodiments, the ventilation system is configured to generate an overpressure condition within the cabin to discourage the entry of dust and debris into the cabin.

A pump configuration includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. A controller associated with the single VFD and is mounted on the single pump trailer. The controller monitors operation parameters associated with an operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system as each component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system operates to determine whether the operation parameters deviate beyond a corresponding operation parameter threshold. Each of the operation parameters provides an indicator as to an operation status of a corresponding component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system. The controller initiates corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold.

Abstract: A method to secure boot an electronic device is disclosed according to some embodiments. The method includes receiving a request to initiate a boot sequence using memory content stored in a non-volatile memory circuit. A secure boot circuit receives verification data from the non-volatile memory circuit indicating the memory content.

A cryptographic hashing operation is performed to the error correction code in the secure boot circuit to obtain a digest of the error correction code. The digest is compared with a pre-stored reference digest to generate a verification signal. The verification signal is provided to the electronic device indicating whether the boot sequence passes the verification.

The anti-cancer effect of SIRP?Fc is enhanced in the presence of daratumumab. Specific combinations include SIRP?Fc forms that comprise an Fc that is either IgG1 or IgG4 isotype. These combinations are useful particularly to treat blood cancers including lymphomas, leukemias and myelomas.

Abstract: The shower screen device is a device that allows a stall to be left open to air circulation and light, mitigating the growth of mildew. To accomplish this, the device includes a rigid bar that is hung from a shower rod with the help of a plurality of elongated members. Further a flat shower screen is attached to the rigid bar. A plurality of rigid frames and a plurality of shower screens may be used to completely cover the shower alcove. The elongated members improve the amount of light that enters the bathtub alcove and mitigates the formation of mildew and mold. Thus, the device both reduces the amount of material used to enclose the shower stall, improves airflow in the alcove space, allows the shower screen to dry freely and quickly, and mitigate mildew and mold formation on the shower screen, thereby extending the lifespan of the shower screen.
