Publication number: 20240160517Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for obtaining incoming alerts associated with tickets generated for health status issues identified by applications for central components of a cloud platform environment. The obtained incoming alerts are aggregated to determine a root cause ticket. A set of incoming alerts is associated with a first central component running at a first data center from one or more data centers of the cloud platform environment. The set of incoming alerts are generated based on a set of tickets logged at a first ticketing system of the first data center by one or more applications running on the first data center. A root cause ticket is generated to combine the set of tickets corresponding to the set of incoming alerts, and the root cause ticket identifies the first central component as associated with a first health status issue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Felix Fischer, Yannick Ulmrich, Tilmann Haeberle, Premchand Nutakki, Jens Berger, Andreas Reischmann, Badri Narayan

Publication number: 20230306535Abstract: Networked utility services handle data-flow in a system to operate electrical vehicle charging stations. In an example, first and second utility companies may operate in first and second respective areas. A user may have a residence in the first area and may have an electric vehicle at a vehicle charging station in the second area. The user may provide identification at the vehicle charging station in the second area, and the user's vehicle may be charged at that location using electricity from the second utility. Data including the user's identification and the electricity consumed in the charging may be sent to the first utility serving the area including the user's residence. The first utility may bill the user for the electricity used to charge the user's vehicle at the remote vehicle charging station. The charging station, both utilities and/or other parties may share in the receipts.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Dinkar Kumar Verma, Srikanth Kathe, Ratnavel Nambirajan Subramanian, Badri Narayan Krishnan, Madhurima Jaiswal

Patent number: 11367035Abstract: A trace history generation method includes receiving from an originating participant in a custody chain of transactions of an asset, by an intermediate participant, a trace history request for the asset. The request has an identification of an owner, data identifying the asset and a parent transaction identification in association with another of the participants, and a hash of the data. Thereafter, an identifier is assigned for the request and the request verified by interrogating a blockchain with the hash. Upon verification, a trace history document is generated including the data identifying the asset, an identifier of the intermediate participant, and a disposition of the asset including an identifier of a next nearest participant. A hash is computed for the trace history and a blockchain transaction performed recording and storing the hash in connection with the assigned identifier. Finally, the document is transmitted to the originating participant.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Tracelink, Inc.Inventors: Shabbir M.

Patent number: 10995672Abstract: The present disclosure relates to gas turbine engine operation in which an igniter assembly is provided with an electrical energy input (e.g., an electrical waveform) that is configured to increase a likelihood of igniting a fuel-air mixture surrounding the igniter assembly. In certain embodiments, the igniter assembly is supplied with an augmented electrical waveform that may reduce a quantity of sparks generated by the igniter assembly before successful light-off (e.g., ignition) of the fuel-air mixture is achieved (e.g., as compared to a quantity of sparks generated to achieve ignition by an igniter assembly that receives an electrical energy input in the form of a conventional electrical waveform). Accordingly, the augmented electrical waveform may reduce wear (e.g., via oxidation) on electrodes of the igniter assembly, such as a primary electrode (e.g., a center electrode) and a secondary electrode (e.g., an outer shell electrode) disposed about the primary electrode.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Badri Narayan Ramamurthi, Karim Younsi, Andrey Meshkov, Jason Fredrick Trotter, Timothy John Sommerer, Ramanujam Ramabhadran, Alvaro Alexander Briceno, Charles Cook, Mark Wayne McWaters
