Patent number: 11932503Abstract: A proppant delivery assembly receives and supports a plurality of containers having proppant stored therein. A cradle has a top surface which receives and supports the plurality of containers when positioned thereon. The cradle enables the plurality of containers to dispense the proppant stored therein. A proppant mover is positioned to underlie and extend along the top surface of the cradle aligned with the plurality of containers to receive proppant from the plurality of containers. The proppant mover carries proppant away from the plurality of containers. A chute is coupled to the cradle for receiving proppant from the proppant mover and directing the proppant to a blender hopper. A hood assembly is disposed at an end of the chute opposite the proppant mover for directing a vacuum air flow that removes a volume of air containing proppant dust particles directed from the chute.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SANDBOX ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: Joshua Oren, Marty Boros, Pete Berveiler, Dave Hansen, Colin Campbell, Mike Edwards, Thomas Massalone

Patent number: 9141408Abstract: A computer system, method, or computer-readable medium corrects a broken portion of an application. A fingerprint indicates classes that comprise the application. The classes indicated in the fingerprint are looked up to determine whether any is broken. For a broken class, a fixed class is substituted when the broken class is loaded at class load time for the application; a fixed class method is substituted into the broken class, when the broken class is loaded at class load time; fixed byte code is substituted for broken byte code corresponding to the broken class, when the broken class is loaded at class load time; the broken class is unloaded and the fixed class is loaded instead, when the application is running; or the broken class is replaced inside the static application with the fixed class; all without replacing classes which are not broken.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Sonatype, Inc.Inventors: Wayne Jackson, Brian Edward Fox, Mike Hansen, Stuart McCulloch, Jason Van Zyl

Patent number: 8934254Abstract: A computer cart has segregated computer storage areas and adapter/cord management areas. This enables the adapters and cords to be stored in an orderly fashion and also prevents the cords and adapters from being accessed or removed from the cart when the computers are being accessed. In one embodiment, extensions of shelves on which the computers are stored extend through a dividing panel into a rear compartment of the cart to create AC adapter shelves for storage of the AC adapters. In another embodiment, the AC adapters are stored in bins in a separate compartment and cords from the AC adapters extend through a dividing panel to an area designed to hold the computers, to enable the computers to be plugged in to be charted while stored in the cart.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Tad Petrick, Philip Sopicki, John Poremba, Brian Wixted, Jim Fisher, Harrison Yuan, Mike Hansen

Patent number: 8916991Abstract: An electrical system for a computer cart enables power to be diverted between electrical channels within the cart using an intelligent round robin charging scheme. All power may be diverted to individual channels one at a time for short charging intervals. When a selected primary channel does not require all available power within the cart, excess power is provided to a secondary channel. All three channels may likewise share power if excess is available. Relays are used to allow power to be controlled to the individual channels. Current sensors on each channel sense an amount of current used by the channel. The output of the current sensor is digitized and integrated to determine how much current is being used by the channel. The current is used by the control to detect uncharged laptops and to selectively divert power between channels to optimize use of power within the computer cart.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Tad Petrick, Philip Sopicki, John Poremba, Brian Wixted, Jim Fisher, Harrison Yuan, Mike Hansen

Publication number: 20120223676Abstract: A system for maintaining a large number of Handheld Electronic Devices is implemented as a carrying case having circuitry configured to connect to the Handheld Electronic Devices to enable the HEDs to be charged and synchronized. The carrying case has a central area configured to hold the circuitry for charging and synchronizing the HEDs, and a pair of divider structures optionally made of foam on either side of the central area to hold the HEDs in a protective manner while stored in the carrying case.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Inventors: Tad Petrick, Philip Sopicki, John Poremba, Brian Wixted, Jim Fisher, Harrison Yuan, Mike Hansen
