Patent number: 11952906Abstract: A machine is cleaned by directing a foam detergent into the machine to remove contaminants from inside the machine. An effluent portion of the foam detergent exits from the machine with some of the contaminants. One or more of a turbidity, a salinity, an amount of total dissolved solids, or a concentration the contaminants in the effluent is measured. A cleaning time period during which the foam detergent is to be directed into the machine is determined based on the turbidity, the salinity, the amount of total dissolved solids, and/or the contaminant concentration that is measured from the effluent. The foam detergent continues to be directed into the machine during the cleaning time period, and the flow of the foam detergent into the machine is terminated on expiration of the time period.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Nicole Jessica Tibbetts, Bernard Patrick Bewlay, Michael Eriksen, Keith Anthony Lauria, Richard Schliem, Erica Sampson, Eric Telfeyan

Patent number: 8763410Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that facilitate dissolving a hyperpolarized agent within a polarizer and transporting it to a receiver is provided. The methods include delivering water to a hyperpolarized agent contained within a polarizer, forming a hyperpolarized aqueous solution, transporting the aqueous solution through a fluid path system out of the polarizer, filtering the aqueous solution through a partical size exclusion filter to a receiver, and modifying the pH of the filtered hyperpolarized aquous solution with a dissolution medium contained in the receiver. Also disclosed herein are apparatuses for dissolving a hyperpolarized agent comprising a vial for containing a hyperpolarized imaging agent therein, a dissolution fluid path, a delivery fluid path, a particle size exclusion filter, and a receiver connected to the particle size exclusion filter and positioned to receive the filtered aqueous solution of the hyperpolarized imaging agent.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: David Brandon Whitt, Andrew Michael Leach, Peter Miller, Eric Telfeyan

Publication number: 20110180482Abstract: A device for dynamic filtration of a pharmaceutical product is provided. The device includes a resin configured to selectively retain one or more components from a mixture having the pharmaceutical product, where the resin is configured to be activated by a medium of the mixture. The device further includes at least one positioning material disposed adjacent to the resin, where the positioning material is configured to provide mechanical support to the resin to at least partially retain the resin in position. In certain embodiments, the device does not require conditioning immediately prior to filtration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2011Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Andrew Michael Leach, Peter Miller, Eric Telfeyan, David Brandon Whitt

Patent number: 7803320Abstract: A quality control system for measuring parameters in a pharmaceutical product includes a receiver vessel to receive a pharmaceutical product therein. The quality control system also includes a sample tube having a first end attached to the receiver vessel to remove pharmaceutical product from the receiver vessel and an appendage connected to a second end of the sample tube. The appendage includes at least one chamber therein to receive a quantity of pharmaceutical product from the receiver vessel. A valve positioned within the sample tube controls flow of the pharmaceutical product to the appendage and prevents flow of the pharmaceutical product from the appendage back into the receiver vessel. The system also includes a quality control device configured to measure at least one parameter of the pharmaceutical product in at least one of the receiver vessel and the appendage.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Miller, Andrew M. Leach, Eric Telfeyan, David B. Whitt
