Abstract: A wireless communication system generates Artificial Intelligence (AI) responses to network data. Computer circuitry hosts network functions, distributed ledgers, ledger clients, and AI engines. The network functions serve User Equipment (UEs) over Radio Access Networks (RANs), and in response, transfer the network data to the distributed ledgers. The distributed ledgers receive and store the network data. The ledger clients select some of the network data from the distributed ledgers and transfer the selected network data to the AI engines. The AI engines receive the selected network data, and in response, generate the AI responses. The ledger clients and the AI engines may comprise wireless network slices.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to hydraulic fracturing equipment powered by one or more natural gas turbine generators. Natural gas from a supply line is released via a valve into a turbine gas line. The turbine gas line includes one or more regulators to reduce the pressure of the natural gas stream in the turbine gas line to a pressure or pressure range optimum for one or more gas compressors. The gas compressors increase the pressure of the natural gas stream, which is then directed to one or more natural gas turbine generators. The natural gas turbine generators combust the natural gas to produce electricity, which powers electric hydraulic fracturing equipment.
