Patent number: 11970868Abstract: An additive printing device and a method for using the same to manufacture a tower structure of a wind turbine is provided. The additive printing device includes a vertical support structure, a support ring suspended from the vertical support structure, and a printer head movably coupled to the support ring for selectively depositing cementitious material. A drive mechanism, such as a rack and pinion, moves the printer head around the support ring while selectively depositing cementitious material. The vertical support structure may be raised and/or the relative position between the vertical support structure and the printer head may be adjusted to raise the printer head to print subsequent layers. This process may be repeated to print the tower structure layer-by-layer from the ground up.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: GE Infrastructure Technology LLCInventors: Gregory Edward Cooper, Norman Arnold Turnquist, Vitali Victor Lissianski, Biao Fang, James Robert Tobin, Pascal Meyer

Publication number: 20230418960Abstract: Ensuring that enterprise data that has potentially become corrupted is recoverable and usable by creating safeguarded copy volumes of the enterprise data. One important aspect of any corruption detection scheme is to determine when the data has become corrupted and locate the last known uncorrupted copy of the data as quickly as possible. Once this set of data is identified, the restoration process can begin with that data, and subsequent logged transactions can be reapplied if possible, which brings the data to the most recent and uncorrupted version.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Theresa Mary Brown, Dale F Riedy, William J. Rooney, Scott B. Compton, Gregory Edward McBride, John R. Paveza
