Patent number: 11915203Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate scheduling maintenance services for a special-purpose vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, a user device comprises a user interface, a processor, and memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to output, to the user interface, a plurality of service method icons. The plurality of service methods comprise a first service method icon corresponding to a service being performed on the special-purpose vehicle at a first location and a second service method icon corresponding to the service being performed on the special-purpose vehicle at a second location. The first location and the second location are different locations. The memory also comprises instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive, via the user interface, a selection of a service method icon of the plurality of service method icons and send, to a scheduling server, a signal corresponding to the selected service method icon.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Polaris Industries Inc.Inventors: Douglas Koch, John Kastanek, Bridget McLennan, Nicole Wolverton, Josh Grube, Adam McCullough, Deirdre O'Connell, Alex Royalty, David Duckworth, Jamie Curran, Evan Hoffman

Publication number: 20190194529Abstract: A delivery vehicle is used in a smart proppant platform technology. The delivery vehicle includes a porous substrate and an active agent that interacts with at least one constituent in an operating environment of a target location in which the delivery vehicle is deployed. The active agent changes physical or chemical characteristics of the constituent to facilitate a beneficial effect. A non-polymeric encapsulating coating is maintained until the delivery vehicle reaches the target location, wherein the operating environment of the target location causes the encapsulating coating to dissolve and release the active agent into the operating environment of the target location to facilitate the beneficial effect. In one disclosed example, the proppant is designed to maintain the opening of a hydraulically induced fracture in a subterranean formation, while also allowing for the controlled delivery of active agents. It may be used to enhance the recovery of oils and gases.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Kyu-Bum Han, James J. Steppan, Balakrishnan Nair, John McLennan, Taylor D. Sparks

Patent number: 10190041Abstract: The present disclosure describes proppant materials encapsulated with a polymer encapsulation layer. Proppant particles are formed with a core having relatively larger inner pores and a shell having relatively smaller shell pores. The shell pores and/or inner pores can be loaded with a treatment product, such as a methanogenic microbial consortium capable of converting coal into methane. The polymer encapsulation layer surrounds the shell and provides for sustained time-release of the treatment product when the proppant material has been delivered to a subterranean formation.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: University of Utah Research FoundationInventors: Kyu-Bum Han, John Fuertez, John McLennan, Taylor D.
