  • Publication number: 20220305857
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension includes and axle. An upper control arm bracket is fixedly positioned relative to the axle and defines a first axis. An upper control arm is rotatably coupled to the upper control arm bracket about the first axis. A lower control arm bracket is fixedly positioned relative to the axle and defines a second axis. A lower control arm is rotatably coupled to the lower control arm bracket about the second axis. An upper control arm relocation bracket is configured to be mounted to the axle and includes a clevis defining a third axis and configured to rotatably couple the upper control arm about the third axis. The relocation bracket includes a first aperture coaxial with the first axis when the relocation bracket is mounted to the axle and a second aperture coaxial with the second axis when the relocation bracket is mounted to the axle.

  • Patent number: 11428846
    Abstract: A system can output a graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation. The system can receive a location of a geological point location of interest for subterranean exploration and a geological time-frame for the geological point location of interest. The system can determine present-day data about the geological point location of interest from the received location. The system can generate a pseudo-well and reconstruct geological-historical parameters in separate time-intervals based on the received location, plate-tectonic models, and paleo-geographic datasets. The system can generate a graphical user interface including present-day data, paleo-geographic data, plate-tectonic data, and plate-interaction data. The system can output the graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation to extract hydrocarbon fluid.

  • Patent number: 11330370
    Abstract: Audio data in a first format may be processed to produce audio data in a second format, which may be a reduced or simplified version of the first format. A loudness correction process may produce loudness-corrected audio data in the second format. A first power of the audio data in the second format and a second power of the loudness-corrected audio data in the second format may be determined. A second-format loudness correction factor for the audio data in the second format may be based, at least in part, on a power ratio between the first power and the second power. A first-format loudness correction factor for the audio data in the first format may be based, at least in part, on the power ratio and a power relationship between the audio data in the first format and the audio data in the second format.

  • Patent number: 11125354
    Abstract: An infusion set check valve assembly includes a self-contained housing that defines inlet ports and an outlet port. The assembly also includes at least one check valve disposed within the self-contained housing between the outlet channel and at least one of the inlet ports. The at least one check valve is configured to open for a first fluid to flow from a first inlet to a patient line via an outlet channel while a second fluid also flows from a second inlet to the patient line via the outlet channel. The at least one check valve closes to prevent the first fluid from flowing to the patient line via the outlet channel while the second fluid flows to the patient line.
