Patent number: 11158140Abstract: A turbomachine control system that includes signal monitoring features is provided. Particularly, the control system proactively isolates or discards unresponsive sensed signals to prevent them from being used to control the turbomachine. The control system can detect and discard unresponsive signals and can utilize a healthier signal or a model of the expected sensor response instead to avert undesirable events, such as e.g., a loss of thrust control event. In one example aspect, the control system includes one or more computing devices that receive a sensed signal. The variance of the sensed signal is determined and then compared to an expected variance of the signal. The expected variance can be output by a sensor model of the one or more computing devices. A variance ratio is determined and the output is compared to a predefined threshold. If the output of the variance threshold exceeds the predefined threshold, then the signal is classified as unresponsive.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Mustapha Ismail, John Lewis Moulton, Jeremy David Seager, Jose Ruben Ramirez, Gerardo Perez, Rogelio Guzman-Sauceda, Bernardo Ivan Pozos Badillo

Publication number: 20200263530Abstract: The current subject matter provides a tool and user interface for estimating a velocity at which a plunger of a rod lift pump system will impact a fluid within a well when the rod lift pump system is altered to operate under various conditions of pump fillage. In some embodiments, the estimated impact velocity can be determined using a velocity pattern characterizing a velocity and position of a plunger of a rod lift pump system operating under a condition of complete pump fillage. The estimated impact velocity can provide a user with useful insight into potential operation of the rod lift pump system when operating under various conditions of pump fillage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2019Publication date: August 20, 2020Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventor: Gerardo Perez

Patent number: 10463023Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for evaluating the appeal of a litter or the litter box environment to a cat and also provides a behavioral diagnostic method for assessing risk of urinary health issues. The methods involve the use of the duration of the elimination sequence to diagnose if the cat has a healthy (enriched environment) or unhealthy (standard environment) elimination behavior. The duration can be measured by an apparatus that determines the time of residence of an animal in a litter pan (i.e., the difference between time of entrance and time of exit from the pan). The apparatus can determine the time of residence of the animal in the litter pan using one or more of a motion detection device attached to the litter pan, an accelerometer attached to the litter pan, or a weight scale balance under the litter pan.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: SOCIÉTÉ DES PRODUITS NESTLÉ S.A.Inventors: Gerardo Perez-Camargo, Francois Martin, Ragen Trudelle-Schwarz McGowan
