Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing composition includes: a superabsorbent polymer in an expanded state and configured to break in response to a breaking condition; a plurality of proppant particles disposed in the superabsorbent polymer prior to release of the plurality of proppant particles from the superabsorbent polymer in response to breaking the superabsorbent polymer; and a fluid to expand the superabsorbent polymer into the expanded state. The hydraulic fracturing composition can be made by contacting a superabsorbent polymer with a fluid to expand the superabsorbent polymer into an expanded state; and disposing a plurality of proppant particles in the superabsorbent polymer to make the hydraulic fracturing composition.

Abstract: Methods of powering a radio that is mounted on a tower of a cellular base station are provided in which a direct current (“DC”) power signal is provided to the radio over a power cable and a voltage level of the output of the power supply is adjusted so as to provide a substantially constant voltage at a first end of the power cable that is remote from the power supply.

Abstract: Electronic equipment cabinets include a relay that has an internal antenna, an external antenna and a transmission path therebetween. The internal antenna is located at least partially within the cabinet and the external antenna is located at least partially exterior to a wall of the cabinet. The relay is configured to receive uplink wireless transmissions from the wireless Internet-of-Things transceivers included on electronic devices mounted within the cabinet and to forward and rebroadcast these uplink wireless transmission to the exterior of the cabinet via the external antenna.

Abstract: Polyboronic compounds useful as delayed crosslinking agents may be produced by using a polyamine as base scaffold and incorporating boron via reaction with intermediate borates which may be formed in the condensation reaction between boric acid and a diol. A di-aldehyde, such as glyoxal, may be introduced following caustic treatment of the reaction mixture of polyaminoboronate to form the polyboronic compound.
