Abstract: Disclosed herein is a suspension control method, apparatus, and system for utilizing virtual vehicle dynamics data. The suspension control method includes receiving vehicle dynamics data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) which is disposed at a first location on a vehicle. Next, virtual vehicle dynamics data is generated where the virtual vehicle dynamics data corresponds to information which would be received from IMU provided IMU was disposed at a second location on the vehicle. Suspension control data configured for use by a suspension component is then generated. The suspension control data is generated using virtual vehicle dynamics data. Finally, suspension control data is output to the suspension component.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flanged manifold frack delivery system, or manifold assembly, for distributing fluids to a well wherein the assembly comprises at least one high pressure output studded or flanged connection in the absence of rubber seals. The high-pressure connection consists of cross-blocks and spools connected in series to each other. Described is a combination of high and low-pressure conduit configurations disposed along the length of the chassis; the high-pressure conduit assembly is made up using studded or flanged iron connections terminating at the opposite end to the low-pressure inlet with a studded or flanged iron connection so that a spool can be attached at the height of the well head to route the fluid to the well head. The assembly may be pre-fabricated to the user's needs and assembled on site, or may be mobile and delivered to the desired site for use.

Abstract: A singular piston included behind a valve seat within a gate valve assembly can be energized by external pressure through a hydraulic port within the valve body. When the back side of the singular piston is energized, the singular piston applies force in one direction against the adjacent valve seat, valve gate, opposing valve seat and valve seat pocket in both the valve open position and the valve closed position to block any unwanted matter from moving into the valve backside cavity. A singular piston has a pressure sealing surface and a piston pocket with an adjacent pressure sealing surface that allows the valve to seal in the closed position with the contained fluid bore pressure against the opposing valve body flow path side to the piston without the piston being energized.
