Abstract: A moving item may be treated using a treatment member. Data may be obtained that includes a width of the moving item, a maximum speed of movement for a treatment member across the moving item to provide a required level of treatment, a speed of movement of the moving item, and a length of the moving item. An extent of movement of the treatment member across the moving item in each reciprocal movement of the treatment member and a speed of reciprocal movement of the treatment member across the moving item may be calculated based at least on the data to provide a required level of treatment across the moving item. The treatment member is reciprocally moved in a required pattern across the moving item based at least on the calculated extent of movement and the calculated speed of movement to provide a full treatment coverage of the moving item.

Abstract: A ball injector for connecting below the frac head of a frac tree to accommodate and sequentially drop a ball into the axial passageway of the frac tree. The ball injector has an axial passage of an injector housing aligned with the axial passageway of the frac tree. A ball cartridge assembly stores one or more balls and sequentially delivers one ball to a port in the ball cartridge assembly. A ball launch side arm extends from the injector housing and forms a ball launch passageway communicating between the ball cartridge port and the axial passage. A first valve member in the ball launch passageway is opened to pass the ball into the axial passage, and is closed to isolate the ball cartridge assembly from a pressure in the axial passage. A second valve member between the first valve member and the ball cartridge assembly may be included to form a pressure isolation chamber between the valve members. Embodiments of ball cartridge assemblies to horizontally store a plurality of balls is provided.

Abstract: A method, system and controller is provided for navigating a network of options on an interactive display. A navigation pane on a display is defined (1201) and a first set of options is displayed in the navigation pane as divided sub-regions which may be separated by lines (1202).

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus comprising a housing comprising a plurality of inner walls that define a plurality of cells, and a plurality of covers, each cover comprising a cover member and an extension member extending downwards from the cover member. Each cell may permit an object to be positioned there within. The plurality of inner walls may suspend the plurality of covers, thereby preventing access to a cell of the plurality of cells. The plurality of inner walls facilitates the transitioning of covers from one cell to an adjacent cell. The extension members interface with an object positioned a cell, such that the object prevents the transition of a cover from an adjacent cell to the cell and the absence of an object within the cell enables the transition of a cover of the plurality of covers from an adjacent cell to the cell, providing access to the adjacent cell.
