Abstract: A method of providing a salt solution at a wellbore site includes delivering solid salt in a mixing tank containing water from a local source and pumping the water through nozzles in the mixing tank using a pump adjacent to the mixing tank to circulate the water in the mixing tank and form a concentrated brine by dissolving the solid salt in the water. The concentrated brine is transferred from the mixing tank to a reservoir using the pump, and the concentrated brine is diluted with additional water from the local source to form a dilute brine. A related mixing tank and a system including the mixing tank and a vehicle structured and configured for travel over a roadway and within an oilfield site.

Abstract: A transfer printing device includes a transfer ribbon, a print unit, a mark sensor and a controller. The transfer ribbon includes a transfer layer that is attached to a carrier layer. The transfer layer includes a series of transfer sections. The controller is configured to perform a print operation, in which a transfer section that is available for printing is selected by detecting an absence of a used mark in a predetermined position on the transfer ribbon corresponding to the transfer section using the mark sensor. An image is printed to the selected transfer section and a used mark is printed on the transfer ribbon using the print unit. At least a portion of the used mark is in a predetermined position relative to the selected transfer section and is outside the selected transfer section.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for smoothing rendering data (e.g., panning data and/or magnification data) prior to rendering a video clip. The rendering data may be recorded using a first sampling rate and the system may determine Bézier points using a second sampling rate. The Bézier points may be aligned with the rendering data and may be used to generate smoothed rendering data. The smoothed rendering data may be used to render a video clip that may be displayed to a user. If the user inputs additional rendering data during playback of the video clip, the system may generate second smoothed rendering data. For example, the system may record additional rendering data for a second half of the video clip and generate second smoothed rendering data, including a first half of the first smoothed rendering data, based on the additional rendering data.
