  • Patent number: 11880185
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved liquid dispensing system communications are disclosed. In an example method for communicating control data between a plurality of component of a liquid dispensing system, a controller of a first component of a liquid dispensing system publishes a control data message to a composite controller associated with the plurality of component. Based on a classification of the control data message, a second component is determined to be a subscriber for the control data message. The composite controller then transmits the control data message to a controller of the second component.

  • Publication number: 20160076348
    Abstract: A method of increasing a thermal conductivity of a subterranean formation and a hydrocarbon-containing material comprises introducing nanoparticles having a high thermal conductivity into the subterranean formation. The nanoparticles adhere to surfaces of the hydrocarbon-containing material and increase the thermal conductivity of the hydrocarbon-containing material. A heating fluid is injected into the subterranean formation and contacts the nanoparticles. Heat is transferred to hydrocarbons of the hydrocarbon-containing material and reduces a viscosity of the hydrocarbons. Methods of transferring heat to a hydrocarbon-containing material, as well as methods of recovering hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation are also disclosed.
