Patent number: 10198766Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for selecting loan payment terms for improved loan quality and risk management. An exemplary embodiment includes storing first loan data corresponding to a first loan to a first borrower. The first loan may have been funded based on an initial financial disclosure that reflects the financial status of the first borrower during an initial time period when the first loan was funded. First payment terms and second payment terms are stored, and one of the first payment terms or the second payment terms is selected based on whether the first borrower provides the updated financial disclosure. The first loan data is processed consistently with the selected payment terms.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)Inventors: Sachin Dharmadhikari, Ganesh Krishnamoorthy

Patent number: 9412549Abstract: Various embodiments of a circuit breaker are described where a movable bridge connector is employed as part of the conductive path when the circuit breaker is in a closed configuration. When the circuit is opened, the connector is displaced from the two fixed contacts otherwise bridged by the connector. In one such embodiment, the circuit breaker utilizes the electromagnetic forces generated in response to the opening event to break the circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Stefan Rakuff, Manoj Ramprasad Shah, Paul Robert Gemin, Ganesh Krishnamoorthy, Ashraf Atalla

Patent number: 9406470Abstract: Embodiments of a tri-stable flexure mechanism are described where a resilient component is present that serves as both a structural component in the kinematic chain of the mechanism and as energy storing component of the mechanism. The resilient component maintains a movable arm and an input link in either a first stable state or a second stable state when the ends of the resilient component are held in place so that the resilient component has a state of high elastic strain energy. In a third stable state, where the resilient component is in a relaxed state of lower elastic strain energy, the mechanism may be in a tripped state distinct from the closed and open states.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Stefan Rakuff, Donald S.

Publication number: 20120215450Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for distinguishing between a sensor fault and a process fault in a physical system and use the results obtained to update the model. A Bayesian network is designed to probabilistically relate sensor data in the physical system which includes multiple sensors. The sensor data from the sensors in the physical system is collected. A conditional probability table is derived based on the collected sensor data and the design of the Bayesian network. Upon identifying anomalous behavior in the physical system, it is determined whether a sensor fault or a process fault caused the anomalous behavior using belief values for the sensors and processes in the physical system, where the belief values indicate a level of trust regarding the status of its associated sensors and processes not being faulty.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Applicant: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Pradeepkumar Ashok, Ganesh Krishnamoorthy, Delbert Tesar
