  • Patent number: 12293067
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for adjusting an image. The method includes displaying a first adjustment interface that includes including a first adjustment path and a first control for adjusting a first image processing parameter. The first adjustment path is displayed with a first gradient that is determined based on a first value of a second image processing parameter. The method further includes detecting a parameter adjustment that adjusts the first value of the second image processing parameter to a second value of the second image processing parameter and, in response to detecting the parameter adjustment: adjusting the image according to the second value of the second image processing parameter; determining a second gradient for the first adjustment path based on the second value of the second image processing parameter; and updating the first adjustment path to be displayed with the second gradient.

  • Publication number: 20250109672
    Abstract: An illustrative modular manifold system includes, among other things, two or more modular pump manifolds, a low-pressure header, and a main high-pressure manifold. Modular pump manifolds may include a low-pressure manifold for supplying fracturing fluid or water to pumps, a high-pressure manifold for supplying fracturing fluid or water to one or more wells and a bleed-off/prime-up manifold. Each modular pump manifold of the modular manifold system is configured to be fluidly isolatable from the other modular pump manifolds. Each isolated modular pump manifold is configured to be flushed with water, bled off and primed up independently of the other modular pump manifolds. After the bleed off, maintenance procedures may be performed on pumps associated with the isolated modular pump manifold. The modular pump manifolds that are not isolated may continue in active fracing stage operations while a modular pump manifold is isolated.
