  • Patent number: 10498081
    Abstract: A self-aligning connector assembly for a light fixture. In some embodiments, the self-aligning connector assembly includes a base and a self-alignment component. The base includes a first alignment feature extending from a platform and a first electrical contact, and the self-alignment component includes a second alignment feature and a second electrical contact. When the self-alignment component is positioned over and then released onto the base, the first alignment feature mates with the second alignment feature which causes rotation of the self-alignment component under the force of gravity, resulting in operably connecting the first electrical contact to the second electrical contact.

  • Publication number: 20190316456
    Abstract: One or more wellbore servicing operations may require the pulsed delivery of a wellbore servicing fluid. To optimize efficiency and effectives of a given wellbore servicing operation a concentrated proppant stimulation fluid may be pumped downhole at a predetermined time interval from dedicated pumping units or positive displacement pumps. The flow rate of proppant in the concentrated proppant stimulation fluid pumped from these dedicated pumps may simulate a square-wave. The desired or determined square-wave or output may be predetermined and any one or more dedicated pumps may be associated with a given time interval and pumping cycle or phasing such that the overall flow of proppant from all of the dedicated pumps simulates a square-wave. Clean fluid from one or more clean fluid pumps may be combined with the concentrated proppant stimulation fluid to maintain a target flow rate of fluid downhole.

  • Publication number: 20190277295
    Abstract: A single power source multiple pump system that includes a single power source driving a first pump and a second pump connected in series may provide for increased efficiencies for one or more operations of a well stimulation and servicing environment. Powering multiple pumps with a single source reduces consumption of resources while still providing the necessary power requirements. Pumps may be powered up or on in sequence so as not to exceed the power limits of the single power source. The multiple pumps may be connected in series with a gearbox to provide another arrangement or configuration. The one or more pumps down line from a pump may be disconnected when no longer in use.
