Publication number: 20240109010Abstract: A method of filtration in a process vessel using a treated filter media which has been treated with a conditioner for improved filtration of contaminants is provided. The treated filter media can be used in process vessels for refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants to treat process streams. The conditioner can be the same material as what is expected to be captured during the fouling process. In other words, the conditioner that is added to the treated filter media can be the same material as the contaminant in the fluid stream to be treated. This allows for chemical compatibility with an existing process fluid stream. This also allows for the natural continuation of the filtration process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: BRADLEY GLOVER, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, JEFFREY SCOTT OLIVER, PETER GREGORY HAM

Patent number: 10067260Abstract: Techniques, systems and apparatus are described for operating a multimode passive detection system (MMPDS). System control settings including operating parameters for the multimode passive detection system are stored. Detector signals are processed to reconstruct an image of a scanned volume and identify an object in the scanned volume based on the reconstructed image. The operating parameters and the detector signals at different processing stages are recorded. An operational health of the multimode passive detection system is monitored. Monitoring the operational health includes receiving information representing the operational health of various components of the multimode passive detection system, and determining an operational health status of one or more of the various components of the multimode passive detection system based on the received information representing the operational health of the multimode passive detection system.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Decision Sciences International CorporationInventors: Shawn McKenney, Jeffrey Glover, Michael James Sossong, James J.

Publication number: 20060107032Abstract: New code routines for a secure system (e.g., a TPM) are stored in a memory (e.g., a flash memory) that is located external to the secure system. For example, a chip may include a TPM and an external flash memory may be connected to the chip. New routines for the TPM may then be stored in the flash. A function table may be used to determine whether a given function to be executed by the TPM is stored in on-chip memory (e.g., ROM) or in the flash. New function tables may be stored in the flash. For example, when a new set of functions is loaded into the flash, a new function table that references the new functions also may be loaded into the flash.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Timothy Paaske, Jeffrey Glover

Patent number: 6854487Abstract: A fluid conduit wall enclosing a hollow interior for the flow of fluid includes an outer surface provided with a low emissivity coating having a coating emissivity of less than 0.2 and a thickness at least sufficient to provide the coating emissivity. One embodiment provides a fluid conduit with multiple spaced-apart walls. An outer surface of an inner wall of a first member and an inner surface of an outer wall of a second member define a gap therebetween. At least one of such surfaces includes the low emissivity coating. A method for providing such coating deposits the coating, for example by reactive vaporization, concurrently on both surfaces from within the gap after assembly of the members.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: James Jay Witemyre, Jeffrey Glover, Robert J.

Patent number: 5281085Abstract: Improved operation can be achieved from an enhanced gas turbine engine having a segmented annular shroud which radially expands and contracts to match the expansion and contraction of engine rotor blades. The segmented annular shroud is supported by a structure which includes an annular ring having two radially outwardly extending flanges, and forward and aft annular segmented brackets which attach the segmented shroud to the forward and aft side of the ring respectively. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, two circumferentially extending separate and distinct air impingement manifolds surrounds each of the outwardly extending flanges. Each manifold is provided with a valve for controlling the amount and temperature of the airflow entering each manifold. The air from each manifold then impinges upon each of the outwardly extending flanges, thereby controlling the radial movement of the corresponding shroud segments and the associated clearances with the rotor blade tips.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1990Date of Patent: January 25, 1994Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Dean T. Lenahan, L. D. Shotts, Bandadi S. Shetty, Jeffrey Glover

Patent number: 5263312Abstract: A tube fitting for use with a flammable fluid is disposed in an auto-ignition zone of a gas turbine engine. The tube fitting has a pair of separable casings defining a passage to accommodate flow therethrough of the flammable fluid, and the casings have a pair of seals associated in sealing engagement with each other to seal about the passage. A restriction is arranged in one of the casings for limiting at least to a preselected flow rate any leakage flow of the flammable fluid from the passage past the seals upon an interruption in the sealing engagement thereof in the event of the occurrence of the separation of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1992Date of Patent: November 23, 1993Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Alan Walker, Christopher C. Glynn, Jeffrey Glover

Patent number: 5212940Abstract: In a gas turbine engine, conduit delivers pressurized cooling air to a selected group of hollow struts at a temperature sufficient to induce thermal contraction of the selected group of hollow struts, thereby opposing a downward shift in the rotor axis during high power engine operation, and maintaining a circumferentially uniform tip clearance. Air baffles disposed in the cooled struts ensure radially uniform thermal contraction and efficient heat transfer.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1991Date of Patent: May 25, 1993Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Jeffrey Glover
