  • Patent number: 11918523
    Abstract: A child entertainment assembly for mounting toys to a wheelchair includes a frame that is mountable to a wheelchair to extend over a child that is seated in the wheelchair. A pair of clamps is each of the clamps is coupled to the frame for mounting the frame on the wheelchair. A winch is rotatably integrated into the frame and a plurality of cables is each coupled to the winch. A plurality of toys is each coupled to a respective one of the cables such that each of the toys is accessible to the child that is seated in the wheelchair. Each of the toys is drawn upwardly toward the central member when the winch is rotated in a first direction. Conversely, each of the toys is lowered from the central member when the winch is rotated in a second direction.

  • Publication number: 20220213378
    Abstract: A composition and method for hydraulically fracturing an oil or gas well to improve the production rates and ultimate recovery using a porous ceramic proppant infused with a chemical treatment agent is provided. The chemical treatment agent may be a tracer material that provides diagnostic information about the production performance of a hydraulic fracture stimulation by the use of distinguishable both water soluble and hydrocarbon soluble tracers. The tracer can be a biological marker, such as DNA. The porous ceramic proppant can be coated with a polymer which provides for controlled release of the chemical treatment agent into a fracture or well bore area over a period of time.

  • Publication number: 20090185188
    Abstract: A simple pass-fail tool that can be used to test the particulate contamination level in a fluid. The tool relies upon a comparison between a measured indicator of the contamination level in the fluid with another indicator of a contamination level of the fluid. Based on the comparison, conclusions about the contamination level of the fluid, and decisions about the fluid, for example that the fluid is acceptable for a particular use, can be made. The fluid can be fuel, lubrication, power transfer, heat exchange or other fluids used in a fluid system, for example fuel injection systems of diesel engines or hydraulic systems, where contamination of the fluid is of concern and use of an excessively contaminated fluid is to be avoided.
