Abstract: A proppant delivery assembly receives and supports a plurality of containers having proppant stored therein. A cradle has a top surface which receives and supports the plurality of containers when positioned thereon. The cradle enables the plurality of containers to dispense the proppant stored therein. A proppant mover is positioned to underlie and extend along the top surface of the cradle aligned with the plurality of containers to receive proppant from the plurality of containers. The proppant mover carries proppant away from the plurality of containers. A chute is coupled to the cradle for receiving proppant from the proppant mover and directing the proppant to a blender hopper. A hood assembly is disposed at an end of the chute opposite the proppant mover for directing a vacuum air flow that removes a volume of air containing proppant dust particles directed from the chute.

Abstract: The current document is directed to a virtual-reality system, and methods incorporated within the virtual-reality system, that provides a scalable physical volume in which human participants can freely move and assume arbitrary body positions while receiving electronic signals that are rendered to the human participants by virtual-reality rendering appliances to immerse the human participants in a virtual environment. In a described implementation, the virtual-reality system includes multiple networked optical sensors, a computational tracking system, networked virtual-reality engines, and virtual-reality rendering appliances.

Abstract: There is provided a method of initiating a network re-attachment procedure by a mobile device, the mobile device being attached to a network other than the home network of the mobile device, and wherein location information for the mobile device in said other network is stored in a visitor location register, VLR, in said other network, the method comprising transmitting a first signal between the home network and the mobile device, if the home network and/or the mobile device is aware that the mobile device is in a border cell of the visited network where there may or should be coverage from the home network. This first signal indicates that the network re-attachment procedure can be initiated, since it has been determined that the mobile device is in said border cell, the mobile device, when sending or receiving said first signal starts a timer.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, execution information is received from a first development tool. Execution information is also received from a second development tool. Based on the first execution information and the second execution information, operation of the first development tool may be controlled. According to some embodiments, the first and second development tools are associated with different processor architectures.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for creating semiconductor devices such as RFID assemblies wherein an array of dies mounted to a substrate is spaced apart at a first pitch, and the substrate is removed after the positions of the dies in the array is fixed by a solidifiable substance. The solidifiable substance is then removed without changing the relative positions of the dies in the array. All or a selected portion of the array of dies is then electrically attached to a plurality of straps or interposers arranged in a corresponding array. The spacing, or pitch, between the dies in the die array may be changed before or after the substrate is removed to match the pitch of the straps or interposers in the corresponding array. An RFID device created using the process inventive is also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a BIOS embodied in a non-volatile storage device. The apparatus also includes a non-volatile storage manager embodied in the non-volatile storage device, the non-volatile storage manager controlling access to a portion of the BIOS.
