Patent number: 11373026Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for predicting a flow about an object through the use of a predictive model instead of a machine simulation. Traditional CFD simulations can take hours, even days. The example embodiments provide a predictive model that can predict a CFD flow in seconds which greatly improves design time. In one example, the method may include receiving input data comprising shape parameters of a geometric object and flow parameters associated with the geometric object, predicting, via execution of a predictive model, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) flow about the geometric object based on the shape parameters and the flow parameters included in the input data, and outputting one or more attributes of the predicted CFD flow about the geometric object via a display device.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Brian Chandler Barr, Johan Reimann, Marc Edgar

Publication number: 20210292829Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of detecting the presence or absence of one or more infectious diseases using quantitative approaches. In some aspects, the methods of the present disclosure include generating a spike-in mixture including target sample molecules (e.g., endogenous sample) and artificial molecules (e.g., spike in molecule, synthetic target-associated molecule), amplifying the spike in mixture to generate a co-amplified spike in mixture, and performing capillary electrophoresis to detect the presence or absence of one or more infectious diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Devon Brian Chandler Brown, Anna Bueno, David Tsao, Oguzhan Atay
