    Abstract: An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. A power distribution trailer distributes the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation voltage level to the single VFD and converts the electric power at a power generation voltage level to a VFD voltage level and controls the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The power distribution trailer converts the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation level to an auxiliary voltage level that is less than the power generation voltage level.

  • Patent number: 11172451
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system of a first network element receives information indicating that a user equipment (UE) support dual connectivity with first and second inter-radio access technologies (IRATs). The UE is enabled to communicate with a second network element using the second IRAT. The system provides to the UE uplink power configurations for data transmissions between the UE and the network elements, and performs a closed loop control procedure that includes determining a first transmit power control (TPC) value for first data transmissions from the UE and a second TPC value for second data transmissions from the UE, and adjusting the first TPC value and the second TPC value to allocate UE uplink transmission power between the first IRAT and the second IRAT. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11170365
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for securely and efficiently updating account information across resource providers. Embodiments of the invention provide a method for managing account data that is an improvement in both speed and security over prior methods used by account data management systems. According to embodiments of the invention, account data is linked to resource provider specific tokens stored and managed by a digital wallet provider. Resource provider specific tokens may be stored by resource providers to conduct future transactions, also including recurring or automatic transactions. To manage the resource provider specific tokens, a user may simply send requests to the digital wallet provider using a single interface displayed on a user device rather than by logging into accounts for numerous resource providers and continuously entering updated account data.

  • Patent number: 11169959
    Abstract: A system may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. The transformation may include logic, and the output variable may be configured for ingestion into a big data storage format. The system may record lineage data of the output variable that comprises the transformation and/or the source variable. The system may also receive a request to generate a requested output variable. The requested output variable may be generated from a second transformation that is the same as the first transformation. The system may thus match the first transformation to the second transformation using the lineage data. In response to matching the first transformation to the second transformation, the system may deny the request. The original output variable may be returned in response to the matching the first transformation to the second transformation.
