  • Publication number: 20200263527
    Abstract: An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. A power distribution trailer distributes the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation voltage level to the single VFD and converts the electric power at a power generation voltage level to a VFD voltage level and controls the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The power distribution trailer converts the electric power generated by the power generation system at the power generation level to an auxiliary voltage level that is less than the power generation voltage level. The power distribution trailer distributes the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level to the single VFD that controls an operation of the of the auxiliary systems.

  • Publication number: 20200263528
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present application relate to a variable frequency drive (VFD) cabin for a pump configuration including a mobile trailer on which the VFD cabin is to be mounted. The VFD cabin generally includes a medium-voltage VFD and a ventilation system. In certain embodiments, the ventilation system is configured to generate an overpressure condition within the cabin to discourage the entry of dust and debris into the cabin. In certain embodiments, one or more components of the medium-voltage VFD are coupled to the floor of the cabin via a vibration damping system. In certain embodiments, the VFD cabin may be directly coupled to a chassis of the mobile trailer without an intervening suspension being provided between the VFD cabin and the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20200263526
    Abstract: An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD converts the electric power of at least 13.8 kV to a VFD rated voltage level of at least 4160V and drives the single shaft electric motor at the VFD voltage level of up to 4160V to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The single shaft electric motor drives the single hydraulic pump with the rotation at the rated RPM level of at least 750 RPM. The single hydraulic pump continuously pumps the fracking media into the well at the HP level of at least 5000 HP. The single hydraulic pump operates on a continuous duty cycle to continuously pump the fracking media at the HP level of at least 5000 HP.

  • Patent number: 10711547
    Abstract: An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. A controller associated with the single VFD and is mounted on the single pump trailer. The controller monitors operation parameters associated with an operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system as each component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system operates to determine whether the operation parameters deviate beyond a corresponding operation parameter threshold. Each of the operation parameters provides an indicator as to an operation status of a corresponding component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system. The controller initiates corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold.

  • Publication number: 20200176507
    Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and more particularly LED chips and related methods are disclosed. LED chips are provided that include an indicia arranged between a primary light-emitting face and a mounting face of the LED chip. The indicia may include at least one of a logo, one or more alphanumeric characters, or a symbol, among others that are configured to convey information. Arrangements of at least one of an n-contact, a p-contact, or a reflector layer of the LED chip may form the indicia. LED chips are also provided where at least a portion of an indicia is arranged on a mounting face of the LED chip. Indicia are provided that may be visible through primary light-emitting faces when LED chips are electrically activated or electrically deactivated. In this regard, the indicia may be embedded within LED chips while still being able to convey information.

  • Publication number: 20200143586
    Abstract: A system for simulating objects in a three dimensional virtual space, comprising a host computing node coupled to a network, padding spheres defined in the virtual space, one padding sphere fully encasing each cube in an octree; a plurality of objects, each object tracked for position in the virtual space. A visibility sphere associated with each object is provided, and at least one display, displaying objects in the virtual space. One of the objects becoming a target object, a search determines objects to be rendered in the display, identifying all padding spheres overlapped at least partially by the visibility sphere of the target object as candidate padding spheres, and identifying objects within or overlapping the candidate padding spheres, determining a visibility ratio for each object of maximum dimension of the object divided by distance from the target object, any object having a visibility to be rendered in the display.

  • Patent number: 10521520
    Abstract: A highly scalable cluster of computing nodes simulates large numbers of objects interacting in a space defined by an octree of cubical elements. Each cube of the octree is enclosed within a corresponding padding sphere. Interacting objects are quickly identified by determining which of the padding spheres are candidate spheres that satisfy an interaction criterion, considering candidate objects located in the cubes that correspond to the candidate spheres, and determining which of the candidate objects meet the interaction criterion. The computing workload can be efficiently parallelized among nodes of the cluster by assigning the objects to the nodes in approximately equal numbers, each node being responsible for managing the objects assigned thereto. Inter-node data traffic can be minimized by reassigning frequently interacting objects to the same node. The cluster can be scaled simply by adding more nodes to the cluster, and redistributing the objects equally among the nodes.

  • Publication number: 20190371478
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for interrogating a medical device associated with a patient to obtain device data using a first processor, and transmitting the device data from the first processor to a remote server. Patient-generated data is produced using a second processor and transmitted from the second processor to the remote server. Clinician-generated data is produced using a third processor and transmitted from the third processor to the remote server. The remote server aggregates the device data and one or both of the patient-generated data and the clinician-generated data to produce aggregated patient data. The aggregated patient data is accessed at the remote server by at least one of the first, second, and third processors or a separate processor. The aggregated patient data is displayed on a display coupled to at least one of the first, second, and third processors or the separate processor.
