  • Patent number: 11952878
    Abstract: A system and method of enhancing operation of hydraulic fracturing equipment at a hydraulic fracturing wellsite may include determining if a hydraulic fracturing stage profiles are available for use for hydraulic fracturing equipment at a wellsite. The method may include prompting an acceptance or amendment of one of the hydraulic fracturing stage profiles for a hydraulic fracturing pumping stage. The method may include, in response to an amendment of one of the hydraulic fracturing stage profiles, prompting acceptance of the amended hydraulic fracturing stage profile as the current hydraulic fracturing stage profile for use in association with the controller. The method may include, when a hydraulic fracturing stage profile is not available, prompting configuration of hydraulic fracturing pumping stage parameters for the current hydraulic fracturing stage profile.

  • Patent number: 11953847
    Abstract: A transfer unit includes a first and a second roller differing in one of the axial length, volume resistivity, and hardness of their elastic layer, a first and a second bearing members rotatably supporting the metal shafts of the first and second rollers, a roller holder, and a switching mechanism. The roller holder has a first and a second bearing holding portion that hold the first and second bearing members slidably. The switching mechanism drives the roller holder to rotate such that one of the first and second rollers is arranged at a reference position at which the first or second roller is kept in pressed contact with an image carrying member to form a transfer nip. The first and second bearing members have grounding member that ground the first and second rollers respectively.

  • Patent number: 11954458
    Abstract: An automated system and method of converting legacy decision logic to a target format. The legacy files are received by the decision logic translation system, which outputs the business rule content in a standard rule structure, according to the selected target format. The process involves decision logic-based rule extraction. In general, methods or processes for extracting business rules have been difficult to reproduce and do not present clearly the extracted rules regarding the concepts of business rules, their composition and categorization. These drawbacks lead to incomplete extraction of rules and massive manual effort to achieve a complete extraction and verification. In contrast, the proposed system overcomes these drawbacks, and outputs files that can be easily used to migrate the business rules to a new platform.

  • Patent number: 11954390
    Abstract: A peer-to-peer network of printing devices is configured to share printing device information, such as job queue status, configuration information, and resource information for automated load balancing, capability matching, failover, and print splitting operations. A digital front end (DFE) of a printing device establishes connections with the DFEs of other printing devices to manage output within the peer-to-peer network in an automated manner. When a print job is received at a DFE for a printing device, it is evaluated to determine how to best manage the output for the print job.

  • Patent number: 11953404
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of matter formulated to work in conjunction with CO2 gas for identifying the exact leak site location of small and large leaks in sealed systems. The leak finding compositions of matter foam, or are in the form of a foam, when applied to the one or more external surfaces of a system, that is closed and pressurized with CO2, where a leak site location is suspected. This foam then changes color from a first color to a second color over the exact leak site.
