Patent number: 11957369Abstract: Various embodiments of the systems, methods and devices are provided for breaking up calcified lesions in an anatomical conduit. More specifically, an electrical arc is generated between two spaced-apart electrodes disposed within a fluid-filled balloon, creating a subsonic pressure wave. In some embodiments, the electrodes comprise a plurality of points or extensions that allow the electrical arc to form at any one of the plurality of points to, among other things, extend the electrode life.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Nextern Innovation, LLCInventors: Sam Batchelder, John R.

Patent number: 11292677Abstract: A conveyor sled assembly is utilized to supply proppant in support of oilfield hydraulic fracturing operations. The conveyor sled assembly includes precisely positioned components where tolerances between components are so small as to prevent significant spillage at component junction boundaries. This manner of fitting proppant pods onto the conveyor sled assembly increases predictability of which pods will discharge their proppant load first. This enhances reliability of the overall proppant delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Proppant Express Solutions, LLCInventors: Mark John D'Agostino, Scott Joseph D'Agostino, Chad Michael McEver, Marc Kevin Fisher

Patent number: 10793349Abstract: A container or pod is specially constructed for hauling proppant in support of oilfield hydraulic fracturing operations. Dimensions are provided that comport with common dimensions in use for transportation of intermodal containers, with the containers being sized so as not to require special permitting from a regulatory standpoint when two such containers are loaded on a single trailer. A method of filling the containers is also provided, which include inverting the container to fill from a bottom gate that also serves as the discharge opening when the filled container is rotated back into an upright position.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Proppant Express Solutions, LLCInventors: Mark John D'Agostino, Scott Joseph D'Agostino, Ronald William Gusek, Marc Kevin Fisher
