Ernesto Sozio has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Turbine engine component with a set of deflectors
    Patent number: 11905853
    Abstract: An airfoil assembly defining a primary airflow path for a turbine engine comprising a platform, an airfoil extending from the platform and into at least a portion of the primary airflow path, a secondary airflow path comprising air from the primary airflow path, and a deflector provided within the secondary airflow path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: GE AVIO S.r.l.
    Inventors: Alberto Buonvino, Luca Giacobone, Daniele Coutandin, Ernesto Sozio, Francesco Bertini
  • Turbine engine with airfoil having high acceleration and low blade turning
    Patent number: 11885233
    Abstract: A turbine engine with at least a compressor section, combustor section, turbine section and a set of airfoils. The airfoils include geometric characteristics to create a high contraction ratio (CR), a low blade turning (BT) at a radially inward location the airfoil, a low solidity, or a low aspect ratio (AR).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignees: General Electric Company, GE Avio S.r.l.
    Inventors: Ernesto Sozio, Francesco Bertini, Jeffrey Donald Clements, Jonathan Ong, Lyle Douglas Dailey, Paul Hadley Vitt, Matteo Renato Usseglio
  • Turbine blades including aero-brake features and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 11821334
    Abstract: A turbine blade including an airfoil portion extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a base portion positioned below the airfoil portion, the base portion including an outwardly-extending wing positioned below the airfoil portion, and an aero-brake feature positioned between the outwardly-extending wing and the airfoil portion and extending outward from the base portion, where the aero-brake feature is structurally configured to disrupt axial airflow across the turbine blade.
