Patent number: 11966914Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method for executing real-time processing of resource transfers using distributed ledger technology is provided. In particular, the system utilizes a private or semi-private blockchain to create a distributed ledger which comprises a record of all resource transfers between a number of entities. The real-time processing system addresses a number of computer technology-centric challenges associated with executing resource transfers. In particular, executing resource transfers on a real-time basis allows the nodes of the blockchain to more evenly distribute computing workload over time when compared to more traditional resource transfer systems that use batch processing to execute transfers.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Benjamin Castinado, Charles Russell Kendall, Martha Sain McClellan, Lee Ann Proud, Ayeesha Sachedina, Calvin William Tackett, Jr.

Patent number: 11965424Abstract: A method for providing overspeed protection for a gas turbine engine having an engine shaft includes monitoring, via an overspeed protection system, a torque of the engine shaft. The method also includes determining, via the overspeed protection system, at least one additional condition of the engine shaft. Further, the method includes determining, via the overspeed protection system, an overspeed condition of the gas turbine engine when the torque of the engine shaft drops below a torque threshold and the at least one additional condition of the engine shaft is indicative of the gas turbine engine being in an operational state. Thus, the overspeed condition is indicative of an above normal rotational speed of the engine shaft. In addition, the method includes initiating a shutdown procedure for the gas turbine engine in response to the determined overspeed condition to reduce the rotational speed of the engine shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Arthur William Sibbach, Brandon Wayne Miller, Erich Alois Krammer, Douglas Scott Jacobs, Joseph Alfred Iannotti

Publication number: 20240123289Abstract: Performance of an athlete is evaluated using position data of the athlete over time during performance of a set of movements. Movement metrics for the set of movements are determined, the movement metrics including measures of acceleration and power. Performance metrics for the athlete are then calculated to indicate the athlete's strength and speed. A reference data set is defined based on various attributes associated with the athlete. The performance metrics are applied to the reference data set to determine a performance category for the athlete, the performance category indicating relative strength and speed of the athlete among other athletes represented in the reference data set. Lastly, a training regimen for the athlete is generated based on the performance category.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Samuel Adam Miller, Joseph Williams Waterman, Jason Shaev, William Gabrenya, III

Patent number: 11948215Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may include an additive manufacturing platform that provides additive manufacturing capability data. A customer platform, associated with a customer, may transmit an industrial asset item request for an industrial asset item. A digital transaction engine may receive the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset item request. The digital transaction engine may then associate the industrial asset item request with an industrial asset definition file, and, based on the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset definition file, assign the industrial asset item request to the additive manufacturing platform. The assignment of the industrial asset item request may be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. Responsive to the assignment, the additive manufacturing platform may create the industrial asset item (e.g., via an additive manufacturing printer) and provide the item to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Joseph Salvo, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, John William Carbone
