  • Patent number: 11828171
    Abstract: A method is described for predicting and preventing wellbore interactions at wells that are near the injection well. The method includes receiving fiber optics data; performing object detection by detecting object-like events in the fiber optic data; and sending instructions to a hydraulic fracturing system based on the object detection. The method is executed by a computer system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210321704
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and kit for restraining garments, including one or more upper bands, one or more intermediary materials connected on one end to the one or more upper bands, one or more lower bands connected to the one or more intermediary materials on an end opposite the one or more upper bands, and one or more fastening members operationally connected to each of the one or more upper bands and the one or more lower bands, where each of the one or more upper bands and the one or more lower bands may be independently tightened and fastened irrespective of the tightness of another band.

  • Patent number: 8164436
    Abstract: A power over data cable system has a power controller. The power controller receives alarm signals from alarm systems such as fire alarms and security alarms. The power controller is connected to power over Ethernet switches or injectors (PoE). The PoE Ethernet switches or injectors are coupled network devices, such as door locks, security cameras, etc. When an alarm occurs, the power controller can turn off the power to the network devices by sending a disable signal to an associated PoE Ethernet switch or injector. A user interface, allows a user to easily define which PoE Ethernet switches or injectors are to be opened for a given alarm. Using this system the user can easily setup a system to selectively disable power to certain devices and not others whenever an alarm is activated.
