Publication number: 20220106863Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a status of components of hydraulic fracturing units including a prime mover and a hydraulic fracturing pump to pump fracturing fluid into a wellhead via a manifold may include a diagnostic control assembly. The diagnostic control assembly may include sensors associated with the hydraulic fracturing units or the manifold, and a supervisory control unit to determine whether the sensors are generating signals outside a calibration range, determine whether a fluid parameter associated with an auxiliary system of the hydraulic fracturing units is indicative of a fluid-related problem, determine whether lubrication associated with the prime mover, the hydraulic fracturing pump, or a transmission of the hydraulic fracturing units has a lubrication fluid temperature greater than a maximum lubrication temperature, or determine an extent to which a heat exchanger assembly associated with the hydraulic fracturing units is cooling fluid passing through the heat exchanger assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: BJ Energy Solutions, LLCInventors: Tony Yeung, Ricardo Rodriguez-Ramon, Andres Alvarez

Patent number: 10984458Abstract: A method whereby the date of birth (age) of a consumer engaging in e-commerce over the Internet is verified. The present invention is launched from a merchant's website when an age sensitive transaction—alcohol or tobacco purchase, access to an adult web site, etc., —is being undertaken. The system first checks to see if the consumer is a known entity with a known date of birth. If the consumer is not known to the system, then the system checks public records from information supplied to the system by the consumer. If the date of birth is still unknown after such a check, the consumer uploads an image of photo identification which is checked for date of birth either via software or manually. Once the date of birth is known, the transaction is approved or denied based on the totality of the facts of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2016Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Bankcard USA Merchant Services, Inc.Inventor: Ricardo Andres Alvarez Gutierrez

Publication number: 20200398801Abstract: A device for a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle. The device includes a processing unit, which is programmed to determine at least one brake characteristic value of the hydraulic braking system, the processing unit being programmed to determine the at least one brake characteristic value as a vehicle axle-specific brake characteristic value, which in each case corresponds to a ratio between a brake pressure in all wheel brake cylinders assigned to a shared vehicle axle of the vehicle and a vehicle axle braking torque exerted on the shared vehicle axle with the aid of the wheel brake cylinders. A method for determining at least one brake characteristic value of a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle, and a method for decelerating a vehicle with a hydraulic braking system and an electric motor usable as a generator, are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Christian Woerz, Franz Dahlke, Andres Alvarez Noriega, Dirk Foerch, Marcus Bucher, Markus Lang

Patent number: 9707159Abstract: Three adhesives formulated with Trimethylolpropane Trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) that do not contain BisGMA were developed, whereby the mutagenic and teratogenic risk by the release of bisphenol A is eliminated, and presented a better performance compared to the three commercial adhesives prepared with BisGMA (Adhesive A, Adhesive C and Adhesive B). The invention provides an adhesive used in one-step and provides a system which is formed by a primer and a slurry. The adhesives of the invention were compared with two commercial controls. They were physically characterized by assessing: hardening time, adhesion stress, elastic modulus, sorption and solubility at different pHs (6.8 and 7.7); by the obtained values premature detachments, white lesions below the appliance and microfiltration are avoided; its fluidity, film thickness were evaluated and were compared with those obtained from the three commercial adhesives. Storage stability and thermogravimetric analysis were assessed.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTONOMA DE MEXICOInventors: Eira Lopez Palacios, Carlos Andres Alvarez Gayosso, Gabriel Saez Espinola
