  • Patent number: 11948204
    Abstract: A data processing system for machine-learning driven data analysis implements obtaining digital healthcare service provider information associated with one or more digital healthcare service providers and query parameters information from a user searching for digital healthcare service providers that may provide digital healthcare services to employees of the user. The system analyzes query parameter information using a first machine learning model to obtain category information. The system analyzes the category information and the digital health service provider information to predict digital healthcare service providers that provide services that the user may be interested in provided to the employees. These predictions are provided to the user as digital healthcare service recommendations.

  • Patent number: 11022174
    Abstract: An oil scavenge system of a rotatable machine having an axis of rotation is disclosed. The oil scavenge system comprises a sump housing, a scavenge conduit, a bearing, and a squeeze film damper. The sump housing is arranged about the axis and at least partly defining a sump. The sump housing has a radially inner surface for directing the flow of oil and defining a collection orifice. The scavenge conduit is in fluid communication with the collection orifice and a downstream location remote from the sump. The bearing is disposed within the sump. The squeeze film damper is positioned proximate the bearing. The squeeze film damper comprises an annular channel and a supply line. The supply line supplies oil to the annular channel. The squeeze film damper further comprises a discharge line. The discharge line is axially aligned with and discharges toward an inner wall of the scavenge conduit.

  • Patent number: 10982598
    Abstract: An improved system, apparatus and method may be configured for detecting coking in a gas turbine engine. The system may comprise one or more heatable collecting elements configured to be positioned in a fuel supply passage having an inlet and an outlet. The apparatus heatable collecting may be configured to generate heat at or over a fuel system temperature range to induce coking in at least one of the heatable collecting elements. The apparatus may also include a sensor configured to detect an indication of coking on the heatable collecting elements and, in response to the coking indication, communicate a coking condition signal to an engine control.

  • Publication number: 20200102985
    Abstract: A system and method for directing a fluid in a rotating machine is provided. The system may comprise a shaft, a fluid catching member, and a fluid jet. The fluid catching member may be positioned radially outward of the shaft. The fluid catching member may have a surface and a flange. The surface may extend radially outward from the shaft. The flange may extend radially along a portion of the shaft and way from the surface. The flange may bound, in part, a fluid catchment volume between the flange and a portion of the shaft. The fluid jet may be positioned radially outward of the fluid catching member flange. The fluid jet may be configured to eject a stream of fluid under pressure such that the stream of fluid has low angle of incidence with the surface of the fluid catching member at the first point where the stream contacts the surface.
