  • Publication number: 20210035771
    Abstract: A sample holder for electron microscopy of air-sensitive samples for use in electron microscopy incorporates a housing and a closure assembly. The closure assembly comprises a lid comprising at least one closure arm receiving portions recessed within a flat, planar upper surface thereof. The housing comprises one or more closure arm(s) corresponding to one or more closure arm receiving portion(s). In a fully closed position, the closure arm(s) share contact with the closure arm receiving portion(s). The lid is flexibly coupled to a motor cover plate which can be actuated by a motor assembly configured to open and close the lid. The sample holder also includes an elevator assembly with a vertically adjustable sample stage which sits below the lid. The sample stage is vertically adjusted by actuation of a bellows assembly which sits beneath the sample stage.

  • Patent number: 10876358
    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 pump configuration includes a single VFD configuration, the single shaft electric motor, and the single shaft hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD configuration converts the electric power at the power generation voltage level distributed from the power distribution trailer to a VFD voltage level and drives the single shaft electric motor to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The VFD voltage level is a voltage level that is required to drive the single shaft electric motor. The VFD configuration also controls operation of the auxiliary systems based on the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level.

  • Patent number: 10871045
    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: 20200363536
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system that determines for received data from one of a plurality of non-Global Navigation Satellite Systems (non-GNSS) satellites a correction for an error in captured time associated with the one of the non-GNSS satellites. A distance error is calculated based on the determined correction. A calculated pseudorange measurement for the received data from the one of a plurality of non-GNSS satellites is adjusted based on the obtained distance error.

  • 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: 20200096289
    Abstract: A firearm carrier that is design and configured to hold a firearm. In one embodiment, the firearm is a pump-action (or slide-action) firearm, such as a scattergun. The firearm can have a rear portion with a pistol grip, and a forward portion with a barrel and a pump-action (or slide-action) receiver. The firearm carrier can be secured to a user's waist and leg, and then the firearm can be removably secured to the firearm carrier. Advantageously, the firearm carrier is configured to receive a portion of the barrel of the firearm and can thus be secured to the firearm carrier. The firearm can also be rapidly removed from the firearm carrier should the user desire to remove the firearm from the firearm carrier.
