  • Patent number: 11610140
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method which can predict a degradation in the health of an asset that heals based on data sensed from a machine or equipment operated by the asset that heals and in consideration of healing of the asset. In one example, a method may include one or more of storing time-series data of an operation of a machine, predicting a fatigue value of an operator of the machine via a predictive model that comprises a Rainflow counting algorithm that determines a degradation of the operator based on a changing attribute in the time-series data and a healing function that determines a healing component of the operator based on rest of the operator, and outputting information about the predicted fatigue value via a user interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5390498
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine fuel distribution assembly includes a fuel manifold having a fuel distribution channel therein, and a plurality of fuel distribution valves disposed inside the manifold. Each valve is disposed in the manifold for providing a bypass channel therearound for allowing unobstructed flow of the fuel through the distribution channel in turn to each of the valves. Each valve has an inlet disposed in flow communication with the distribution channel for receiving a portion of the fuel therefrom, and an outlet extending laterally through the manifold for providing controlled fuel flow therefrom.
