Abstract: A fan device used with respect to a computing device. The fan device includes at least two fans that provide airflow for the computing device and a controller that adjusts the fans' speeds in an attempt to avoid harmonic vibrations of the at least two fans. The fan device may include at least one sensor, and the controller may adjust the fans' speeds based at least on information from the sensor(s) in the attempt to avoid the harmonic vibrations. The attempt to avoid the harmonic vibrations may also attempt to mitigate one or more of turbulence, pressure, over-heating, power consumption, or noise in, by, or around the computing device. Reversal of airflow may also be used. A fan bar that enables isolation of ground return noise may also be used.

Abstract: A formation-fracking system has an gas/fluid accumulator, one or more pumps for pumping a fracking fluid, a fracking string extending to a subterranean formation and defining a fracking channel and a circulation channel, a valve subsystem coupling the pumps to the gas/fluid accumulator and the fracking string, and a bypass valve in fluid communication with the fracking channel and a fracking section. The valve subsystem alternately transitions between a first state for directing fracking fluid from the pumps and the gas/fluid accumulator to the fracking channel to create a kinetic-energy surge, and a second state for directing fracking fluid from the pumps to the gas/fluid accumulator for storing energy therein and for fracturing the formation using the kinetic-energy surge. The bypass valve enables a bypass channel fluidly connecting the fracking channel to the circulation channel in the first state and abruptly disables the bypass channel in the second state.

Abstract: Included are embodiments for providing a service station routine. Some embodiments of a system include a service station for receiving a handheld jet dispensing apparatus and a memory component that stores logic. When the logic is executed by a processor, the logic may cause the system to, in response to the service station receiving the handheld jet dispensing apparatus, identify the handheld jet dispensing apparatus, where identifying the handheld jet dispensing apparatus includes determining a time of a previous maintenance to the handheld jet dispensing apparatus. In some embodiments, the logic causes the system to determine whether the time of the previous maintenance meets a predetermined threshold, in response to determining that the time of the previous maintenance meets a predetermined threshold, determine a desired maintenance routine to execute and execute the desired maintenance routine, and record a current time as the time of the previous maintenance.
