  • Gas turbine plant
    Patent number: 11795843
    Abstract: A gas turbine plant includes a gas turbine, an exhaust line, an exhaust heat recovery boiler that generates steam due to heat of exhaust gas and guides the exhaust gas to the exhaust line, a carbon dioxide recovery device that recovers carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas, a heat exchanger that cools the exhaust gas to a temperature set in advance, and a circulation line that branches from a position between the carbon dioxide recovery device and the heat exchanger and is connected to an inlet of the gas turbine. The carbon dioxide recovery device has an absorption tower that absorbs carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas at the set temperature and an absorption liquid to come into contact with each other. The heat exchanger is formed of a material having higher corrosion resistance than a material forming the exhaust heat recovery boiler.

  • Computer systems for regulating access to electronic content using usage telemetry data
    Patent number: 11799864
    Abstract: A method is performed to regulate access to electronic content based on content usage telemetry data. A first computer receives, from a second computer system, a request for access to electronic content. The first computer system determines, based on an access profile associated with the second computer system, that the second computer system is authorized to access the electronic content. A first authorization message indicating that the second computer system is authorized to access the electronic content is transmitted from the first computer system to the second computer system. The first computer system receives, from the second computer system, content usage telemetry data including data items indicating metrics of use of the electronic content by the second computer system. The first computer system modifies the access profile of the second computer system based on the content usage telemetry data.

  • IDENTIFYING CONDUCTOR BREAKS BY DETECTING SERIES ARCING
    Publication number: 20230333153
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems for determining a broken conductor condition in a multiple-phase electric power delivery system. It has been observed that broken conductors pose a safety concern when occurring in the presence of people or vulnerable environmental conditions. Broken conductor conditions disclosed herein may be used to detect and trip the phase with the broken conductor, thus reducing or even eliminating the safety risk. Broken conductors may be determined using detected phase series arcing differences in one phase without commensurate differences in other phases. In various embodiments the phase series arcing attributes may be phase current monitored for decrement and/or phase resistance monitored for increase.
