  • Vehicle electronic system
    Patent number: 10730459
    Abstract: A vehicle electronic system having an electronic controller and a power switching device configured to switch between a first power setting and a second power setting. The first power setting includes powering at least one of a plurality of electrically powered accessories with power from an on-board electric power supply. The second power setting includes powering the at least one of the plurality of electrically powered accessories with power from an external power supply thereby preventing the use of electric power from the on-board electric power supply. The electronic controller is configured to electronically operate the switching device to switch between the first power setting and the second power setting such that in response to detection of power from the external power supply, the switching device is switched to the second power mode.

  • Method of determining subterranean formation fracture orientation
    Patent number: 4529036
    Abstract: A method of determining the orientation of a fracture or fractures created in a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is provided. The method comprises creating a fracture in the formation extending from a lower end portion of the wellbore and then removing a location orientated core containing a portion of the fracture from the wellbore to thereby determine the orientation of the fracture in the formation.
