Abstract: Systems and methods to improve automatic speech recognition of audio data are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: process a first noisy audio data from a set of the noisy audio data, with a generator, to generate first refined audio data; process the first refined audio data and a first comprehensible audio data from a set of the comprehensible audio data, individually with a discriminator, to determine individual decision values; determine a generator update and a discriminator update based on the individual decision values; apply the generator update to the generator such that the generator is modified to improve generation of refined audio data or is not modified; and apply the discriminator update to the discriminator such that the discriminator is modified to improve subsequent determinations of the decision values or is not modified.

Abstract: Method and associated transgenic oil-producing plants, protists, bacteria, and fungi for increasing concentration of target fatty acids for use in food, biofuel, or industrial chemical applications. Modification of organisms to enhance lipase expression induces triacylglycerol (TAG) remodeling to change the composition of stored oils. Lipase converts endogenously synthesized TAG back to diacylglycerols, allowing resynthesis into TAG with different fatty acid compositions using fatty acid assembly enzymes either native to the organism or expressed through additional transgenic modification.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of detecting anomalies using a plurality of machine learning models. Each of the machine learning models may be trained to detect a respective behavior of historical data values for a given metric. Thus, a system may perform anomaly detection based on different behaviors of the same metric of data, reducing instances of false positive anomaly detection while also reducing instances of false negative reporting. The plurality of machine learning models may be trained to detect anomalies across multiple different types of metrics as well, providing robust multi-metric anomaly detection across a range of behaviors of historical data values. The system may implement a pluggable architecture for the plurality of machine learning models in which models may be added or removed from pluggable architecture. In this way, the system may detect anomalies using a configurable set of machine learning models.

Abstract: Respective combustion gas streams are generated in a can combustor. The streams are channeled downstream into an annular turbine nozzle. And, dynamic interaction of circumferentially adjacent combustion gas streams is suppressed axially between the cans and the nozzle.

Abstract: In a gas turbine, a supplemental seal is provided between an annular axially facing sealing surface of a nozzle support ring and an annular axially opposed sealing surface formed by circumferentially adjacent nozzle segments. Each segment carries an inner rail mounting a chordal hinge seal which engages the sealing surface of the nozzle support ring. That seal is supplemented by a generally arcuate V-shaped seal between the sealing surfaces which opens radially inwardly toward a high pressure leakage path past the chordal hinge seal. The supplemental seal is initially compressed and maintained in a compressed condition during installation by application of a solder. At operating temperature, the solder melts away, releasing the supplemental seal to seal between the nozzle support ring and nozzle segments.

Abstract: In a gas turbine having a chordal hinge seal between an inner rail of each nozzle segment and an annular axially facing sealing surface of a nozzle support ring, a supplemental seal is disposed between the support ring and inner bands of the nozzle segments on a lower pressure side of the chordal hinge seals. To minimize or prevent leakage flow across the chordal hinge seals, a generally U-shaped supplemental seal having reversely folded U-shaped marginal portions is received in a cavity formed in the axially extending sealing surface of the inner rail of the nozzle segment. At operating conditions, the marginal portions seal against the base of the cavity and the annular sealing surface of the nozzle support ring to prevent leakage flow past the chordal hinge seal from entering the hot gas path.

Abstract: Upper and lower diaphragms of a steam turbine have mating flanges forming a horizontal midline joint interface. Each flange has a groove which registers with a corresponding groove in the opposite flange. A composite woven tubular seal is provided in the mating grooves. The seal comprises an inner woven metal core surrounded by an annular silica fiber layer, in turn surrounded by a metal foil with an outer protective covering of a braided stainless steel. Upon joining the diaphragms to one another, the compliant seal generally conforms to a maximum to the shape of the grooves, maintaining a seal between the diaphragms along the horizontal midline joint.

Abstract: In a gas turbine having a chordal hinge seal between an inner rail of each nozzle segment and an annular axially facing sealing surface of a nozzle support ring, a supplemental seal is disposed between the support ring and inner rail of the nozzle segment on a lower pressure side of the chordal hinge seal. The supplemental seal comprises a segmented annular composite tubular woven compliant seal disposed in a cavity along a sealing surface of the inner rail of the segment. The seal bears against the annular sealing surface of the nozzle support ring, which compresses the seal. Because of the compliant nature of the seal, a supplemental seal is formed on the low pressure side of the chordal hinge seal.
