A system for controlling dust during hydraulic fracturing operations includes a manifold having a plurality of ports for capturing dust when negative air pressure is applied to the manifold. A support frame positions the manifold above a piece of hydraulic fracturing equipment receiving sand from a sand source.

The battery pack instead of the size AA battery is loaded in a battery storage of an electronic device. The battery pack includes a battery casing, a plurality of size AAA batteries, a battery holder, a circuit board, and an induction coil electromagnetically connected to a primary coil of a battery charger cradle. The size AAA batteries are accommodated in the battery casing in a spaced-apart manner where a distance between longitudinal axes of the size AAA batteries is larger than a distance between longitudinal axes of the size AA batteries loaded in the battery storage, and a storage space is defined between the adjacent size AAA batteries. With an electronic component, mounted on the circuit board, being disposed in the storage space, the battery pack accommodates the size AAA batteries, the battery holder, the circuit board, and the induction coil in a mutually layered state in the battery casing.

An emergency lighting fixture combining the functions of an illuminated sign such as an exit sign and an emergency lighting unit integrated into one housing onto which one or more emergency lights can be mounted at predetermined locations of the housing, the combined emergency lighting structure providing both exit location information and ambient emergency lighting in a single cooperatively operating device.

A filter assembly (300) with a plurality of cavities serving as said waveguide resonators is presented. The cavities are arranged at least on two levels (x1, y1; x2, y2) of said filter assembly (300). Two or three molded filter parts (301, 302, 303) define the cavities, when the filter parts (301, 302, 303) are assembled. A first opening in a wall between a first and a second of cavity is provided. Said opening serves as capacitive junction between said first cavity and said second cavity. A second opening is provided in another wall between a third cavity and a fourth cavity, said opening serving as inductive junction. The filter parts (301, 302, 303) are at least partially covered by a metal layer.

A radial flow heat exchanger for heating or cooling a fluid includes a sealed fluid manifold for passage of fluid. A sealed fluid receiving hub is spaced interiorly of the interior peripheral portion of the manifold and includes a passageway for passage of fluid into or out of the heat exchanger. A plurality of separate and spaced fluid flow tubes are disposed between the manifold and the hub. Each of the tubes are in sealed fluid communication with the manifold at one end and the other end is in sealed fluid communication with the hub. A fin assembly is positioned between the manifold and the hub and includes a heat conducting material arranged at spaced intervals between the manifold and the hub, the heat conducting material including a plurality of spaced apertures through which tubes pass. The heat conducting material is in intimate heat conducting contact with the tubes whereby fluid flowing between the manifold and the hub flows into each of the tubes in a radial direction between the manifold and the hub and wherein the heat conducting material of the fin assembly operates to give up or pick up heat from the fluid through the wall of the tubes.

A rotary vane magnetorheological energy absorber, which enables a longer stroke capability in a more compact configuration than conventional magnetorheological devices, is disclosed. This novel device design is attractive for applications where long stroking capability, high force dynamic range, device size, and device weight are important. The improved magnetorheological energy absorber comprises an internal or external flow valve and a hollow body enclosing fixed and rotary vanes as well as magnetorheological fluid. Fluid flow in the valve is restricted as a solenoid is activated, thus adjusting the capability of the device to react torque. Various flow valve configurations are disclosed, as well as various motion translation mechanisms for translating linear motion to rotary motion for use of the rotary vane magnetorheological energy absorber. The improved design minimizes the amount of magnetorheological fluid required as compared to conventional linear stroke energy absorbers, thus minimizing device weight.

A power generation unit is connected with an engine rotary shaft via an accessory gearbox. A rotor extends through the accessory gearbox and a drive gear is disposed at an intermediate portion of the rotor for driving the latter. Permanent magnet elements are mounted on opposite side portions with the intermediate portion intervening therebetween, and stator coils are disposed so as to confront respective outer peripheries of the permanent magnet elements.

The invention relates to a low profile compact vertical polarization antenna with a reconfigurable directional pattern, and belongs to the field of antenna design. The antenna comprises an upper dielectric substrate, a lower dielectric substrate, three identical top loaded folded monopoles, a feed structure, a coaxial cable and a metal floor. According to the invention, top loaded patches are rationally designed into the shape of a fan, so that the patches can be integrated on the same dielectric substrate to reduce the antenna size; then a curved groove is etched on each fan-shaped patch to further reduce the size of a monopole unit; and finally, three PIN switching diodes are skillfully utilized, so that the monopoles are alternately used as excitation oscillators and parasitic oscillators, and the directional pattern of the antenna can be reconstructed. The alternate working mode greatly reduces the antenna size. According to the invention, the designed vertical polarization antennahas three reconfigurable directional pattern modes, can realize 360-degree scanning in the horizontal direction, and has the advantages of low profile and compact structure.
