MODULAR VEHICLE SYSTEM
A vehicle system having a driving module, at least one mission module and at least one container. The driving module has a receptacle which can receive at least one aforementioned mission module. As a result of the receiving possibility, various mission modules can be received, depending on requirement. Thus, the mission is built up modularly in the same driving module. The container is configured to be box-shaped and closed on all sides by walls, with the exception of the top. Furthermore, the mission module is configured to be open on all sides, with the exception of the top, and the top of the mission module is designed to be closed by a wall. As a result, a modular mission module is produced, which can optionally be received in a container or in the receptacle in the driving module.
Multi-PRB operation for narrowband systems
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for multiple physical resource block (PRB) operations for narrowband (NB) systems, such as NB internet-of-things (IoT). In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE), which may be an NB-IoT device. The method generally includes performing a cell search based on one or more signals received in an anchor RB within a set of RBs available for narrowband communications with a base station (BS); determining a location of at least one additional RB available for the narrowband communications with the BS based on an indication received in the anchor RB; and performing narrowband communications with the BS using at least one of: the anchor RB or the at least one additional resource block.
Bulk material shipping container unloader
A bulk material shipping container unloader having an expandable supporter, a pallet receiver supported by the extendable supporter, a material director supported by the pallet receiver, and a bulk material container gate mover supported by the pallet receiver.
Universal storage and attachment device
An attachment device comprising a base and a body section extending from the base and comprising two opposing arms. Each arm comprises a displacement limiting section and an interfacing surface member. The arms cooperate to define an opening and are configured to be displaced by an object positioned within the opening and interfacing with the interfacing surface members. Furthermore, the arms are configured to exert a compressive force on the object placed in the opening as a result of the displacement thereof.
CRADLE FOR PROPPANT CONTAINER HAVING TAPERED BOX GUIDES
An apparatus to support a proppant container includes a frame to receive and support the proppant container. The frame has a top surface that receives and positions the proppant container in an elevated position. The apparatus also includes a box guide assembly positioned on the top surface a box guide assembly connected to the top surface of the frame for defining a cradle section having four corners. The box guide assembly including a box guide positioned at each of the corners. Each box guide has a corner member extending upwardly from the top surface along a peripheral edge of the frame and a guide member extending adjacent the corner member. The guide member include an inclined face for aligning the proppant container in the cradle section. The box guide assembly guides the proppant container into the cradle section when loaded onto the frame in the elevated position.
Cradle for proppant container having tapered box guides and associated methods
Embodiments of the present disclosure include an apparatus to support a proppant container including a frame to receive and support the proppant container, the frame having a top surface that receives and positions the proppant container above a conveyor to carry proppant disposed thereon away from the proppant container. The apparatus also includes a box guide assembly positioned on the top surface including a corner assembly having two wall segments, and a guide member extending upwardly and positioned adjacent the corner assembly, the guide member including tapered portion of the guide member, the taper having a first width at a top portion of the guide member smaller than a second width at a bottom portion of the guide member. The tapered portion contacts and directs the proppant container to a desired location.
MOBILE SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR BULK MATERIAL CONTAINERS
Systems and methods for efficiently managing bulk material are provided. The disclosure is directed to a portable support structure used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material and output bulk material from the containers directly into the blender hopper. The portable support structure may include a frame for receiving and holding the one or more portable bulk material containers in an elevated position proximate the blender hopper, as well as one or more gravity feed outlets for routing the bulk material from the containers directly into the blender hopper. In some embodiments, the portable support structure may be transported to the well site on a trailer, unloaded from the trailer, and positioned proximate the blender unit. In other embodiments, the portable support structure may be a mobile support structure that is integrated into a trailer unit.
