  • Patent number: 8922033
    Abstract: A power generation system is provided having a genset comprising an engine mechanically coupled to a generator. The genset is configured to generate electrical power. A ventilation system has a ventilation inlet and a ventilation outlet, and the ventilation system is configured for cooling at least one of the engine and the generator. Both the ventilation inlet and ventilation outlet have an adjustable shutter configured for adjusting a flow volume of a coolant medium through the ventilation system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Patent number: 7337678
    Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical, micro-fluidic flow sensor (14) includes a flow separating element (15) for separating a first portion (24) of a fluid flow (25) from a second portion (26) of the fluid flow. The flow sensor also includes a flow obstructing member (17) disposed in the first portion of the flow for at least partially obstructing the first portion of the flow. The flow obstructing member deflects in response to the first portion of the flow so that a degree of partial obstruction of the first portion of the flow by the flow obstructing member varies in response to the first portion of the fluid flow.

  • Publication number: 20070224591
    Abstract: A microsampler disc for use in the analysis of agents is described as including a plurality of microstructures configured and spaced to promote movement of a fluidic medium containing agents radially outwardly and promote filtering of one species of agents from other species of agents. An analysis system using the microsampler disc is also described. A method for separating one species of agent from one or more other species of agents is described as including introducing a fluidic medium containing at least one species of agents to a microsampler disc having a plurality of microstructures, rotating the microsampler disc to promote movement of the fluidic medium outwardly, collecting the at least one species of agent in a specific set of detection zones, and analyzing the at least one species of agent.
