Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may include a design experience data store containing electronic records associated with prior industrial asset item designs. A deep learning model platform, coupled to the design experience data store, may include a communication port to receive constraint and load information from a designer device. The deep learning platform may further include a computer processor adapted to automatically and generatively create boundaries and geometries, using a deep learning model associated with an additive manufacturing process, for an industrial asset item based on the prior industrial asset item designs and the received constraint and load information. According to some embodiments, the deep learning model computer processor is further to receive design adjustments from the designer device. The received design adjustments might be for example, used to execute an optimization process and/or be fed back to continually re-train the deep learning model.

Abstract: One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a system for cooling a surface. The system can include a housing. The housing can include an evaporator portion. The housing can include at least one trifurcated heat exchange portion. The at least one trifurcated heat exchange portion can include a condenser portion coupled to the evaporator portion. The at least one trifurcated heat exchange portion can include a coolant portion substantially surrounded by the condenser portion. The at least one trifurcated heat exchange portion can include a phase change material portion substantially surrounding the condenser portion.

Abstract: A Pelton turbine is disclosed that includes at least one needle valve injector assembly and at least one high efficiency injector assembly. The high efficiency injector assembly provides a generally unimpeded flow path for water from a distributor to a runner of the turbine. The high efficiency injector assemblies and needle valve injector assemblies are operated in cooperation to provide the overall desired flow rate through the turbine and to increase the efficiency of the turbine. A high efficiency injector assembly may be retrofitted for a needle valve injector assembly to improve the efficiency of existing turbine systems.
