Patent number: 10776758Abstract: A system includes a network interface communicably coupled to a network. The system also includes a profile database communicably coupled to the network interface and configured to store profile information relating to a plurality of advisors, and a matching circuit communicably coupled to the provider database and the network interface. The matching circuit is configured to determine a match comprising a first matched advisor from the plurality of advisors and a second matched advisor from the plurality of advisors based on the profile information by determining that a wealth management practice of the first matched advisor has greater than a threshold probability of benefitting from a partnership with the second matched advisor and to cause profile information relating to the second matched advisor to be transmitted to a mobile device of the first matched advisor via the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Holly Benedict, Heather Blanchard, Karin Geldfeld, Vincent J. Hill, Sr., Ryan McMahon, Eric Vanderleek

Patent number: 7165405Abstract: A dual fuel premix nozzle and method of operation for use in a gas turbine combustor is disclosed. The dual fuel premix nozzle utilizes a fin assembly comprising a plurality of radially extending fins for injection of fuel and compressed air in order to provide a more uniform injection pattern. When in gas operation, the fuel and compressed air mixes upstream of the combustion chamber and flows into the combustion chamber as a homogeneous mixture. The premix fuel nozzle includes a plurality of coaxial passages, which provide gaseous fuel and compressed air to the fin assembly. When in liquid fuel operation, the gas circuits are purged with compressed air and liquid fuel and water pass through coaxial passages to the tip of the dual fuel premix fuel nozzle, where they inject liquid fuel and water into the secondary combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2002Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Power Systems Mfg. LLCInventors: Peter Stuttaford, Stephen T. Jennings, Ryan McMahon, Brian R. Mack

Patent number: 6935116Abstract: A gas turbine combustion system having reduced emissions and improved flame stability at multiple load conditions is disclosed. The improved combustion system accomplishes this through complete premixing, a plurality of fuel injector locations, combustor geometry, and precise three dimensional staging between fuel injectors. Axial, radial, and circumferential fuel staging is utilized including fuel injection proximate air swirlers. Furthermore, strong recirculation zones are established proximate the introduction of fuel and air premixture from different stages to the combustion zone. The combination of the strong recirculation zones, efficient premixing, and staged fuel flow thereby provide the opportunity to produce low emissions combustion at various load conditions.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Power Systems Mfg., LLCInventors: Peter J. Stuttaford, Stephen Jennings, Andrew Green, Ryan McMahon, Yan Chen, Hany Rizkalla, John Carella, Vamsi Duraibabu, Martin Spalding
