Systems and methods for chainsaw lubricant delivery control
Systems and methods which provide control of lubricant delivery with respect to chainsaws using a lubricant flow shutoff valve controlled in correspondence to an operational state of the chainsaw. A chainsaw lubricant delivery control system includes a lubricant flow shutoff valve and a chainsaw operation-based valve controller operable cooperatively to provide control of lubricant delivery to the cutting chain and guide bar assembly of a chainsaw. The chainsaw operation-based valve controller is coupled to an operationally active element of the chainsaw wherein the chainsaw operation-based valve controller may control the lubricant flow shutoff valve between an open position and a closed position responsive to detecting a particular state of the operationally active element corresponding to an operational state of the chainsaw.
Fracturing equipment having multiple electric-power supplies
Fracturing equipment includes an electric-driven apparatus and an electric-power supply apparatus. The electric-driven apparatus includes at least one motor, at least one lubrication module, and at least one heat dissipation module.

Electric-powered lubricator, and method for calibrating electric-powered lubricator
An electric-powered lubricator in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a first manual switch, an electric motor, a drive circuit, a pump, a memory device, and a control circuit. The memory device stores one or more reference values. Each of the one or more reference values corresponds to a mass of lubricant to be dispensed from a dispensing port of the pump per reciprocation of a plunger of the pump. The control circuit in a calibration mode calculates a new reference value based on (i) an input value and (ii) a count of reciprocation of the plunger. The input value corresponds to a measured total mass of the lubricant dispensed from the dispensing port.
