  • Patent number: 11950266
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for supporting wireless access network service request capability in a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). The UE device includes capability for gaining Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with a wireless access network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)). Thereafter, the UE device is operable to initiate a registration request message towards the wireless access network node, wherein the registration request message includes at least one information element pertaining to wireless access network services required by the UE device.

  • Publication number: 20230240198
    Abstract: Apparatus for injecting liquid into a plant comprising a variable volume dosing chamber with a plunger disposed within the chamber and a chamber inlet and outlet, the inlet and outlet in fluid communication with a common volume of the chamber. The apparatus also comprises a motor and a processor. The motor is configured to drive movement of the piston plunger causing a change in volume in the chamber. The processor is configured to control voltage and power to the motor by creating a plurality of pulses of power that provide energy to said motor; to identify a change in pressure of the liquid discharged from the outlet during an injection operation by monitoring the motor current or the number of revolutions of the motor; and to vary pulse force in response to the identified change in pressure to control the pressure of the liquid discharged from the outlet.

  • Patent number: 11686305
    Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing pump includes a power end with a plurality of torsion tubes extending between sides of a crankcase housing in which a crankshaft is rotatably mounted. The crankshaft is coupled by piston arms to crossheads disposed to reciprocate along crosshead axes that are perpendicular to the crankshaft. Disposed within the crankcase housing are a plurality of ribs generally perpendicular to the crankshaft and extending from the base of the crankshaft housing to an upper surface of the crankshaft housing. The torsion tubes are generally adjacent the upper surface of the crankcase housing and pass perpendicularly through each of the plurality of ribs and are attached to the ribs to provide rigidity to the power end.
