Patent number: 11948215Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may include an additive manufacturing platform that provides additive manufacturing capability data. A customer platform, associated with a customer, may transmit an industrial asset item request for an industrial asset item. A digital transaction engine may receive the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset item request. The digital transaction engine may then associate the industrial asset item request with an industrial asset definition file, and, based on the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset definition file, assign the industrial asset item request to the additive manufacturing platform. The assignment of the industrial asset item request may be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. Responsive to the assignment, the additive manufacturing platform may create the industrial asset item (e.g., via an additive manufacturing printer) and provide the item to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Joseph Salvo, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, John William Carbone

Patent number: 11829942Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system to facilitate transaction processing associated with an industrial asset supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. A first entity computer processor may retrieve, from a first entity database, information associated with pre-delivery data about the industrial asset. The first entity computer processor may then record pre-delivery data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. A second entity computer processor may retrieve, from a second entity database, information associated with a post-delivery event involving the industrial asset. The second entity computer processor may then record post-delivery event data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. The post-delivery event data might indicate, for example, that the industrial asset has been delivered, has been installed, is working properly, has been used, etc.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Walter Charles Yund, Patricia Denise MacKenzie, Joseph James Salvo, John William Carbone, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, Dan Yang, Peter Koudal

Patent number: 11783346Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may facilitate collaborative transaction processing associated with a supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. In particular, a first entity database may store electronic records including information associated with at least a portion of the supply chain, and a first entity communication port may exchange information via a distributed computer system. A first entity computer processor may retrieve from the first entity database the information associated with the at least a portion of the supply chain. A subset of information about the supply chain may be identified by the first entity computer processor as being of interest to the second entity. The identified subset of information about the supply chain may then be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Koudal, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, Annarita Giani, John William Carbone, Joseph Salvo, Junrong Yan, Dan Yang, Patricia MacKenzie, Walter Yund

Patent number: 11683397Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to facilitate hierarchical data exchange may include an aggregation platform data store containing electronic records. A data aggregation platform may collect, from a plurality of data source devices, information associated with a plurality of data sources and store the collected information into the aggregation platform data store. The data aggregation platform may also receive a data request from a data consumer device, and, responsive to the received data request, determine a precision tier associated with the data request. The data aggregation platform may then automatically calculate a resource value for the data request based on the precision tier. It may then be arranged for information from the aggregation platform data store to be modified and transmitted to the data consumer device.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Scott Charles Evans, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, John William Carbone

Patent number: 11623407Abstract: According to some embodiments, a computer processor may receive an item definition file containing a volumetric description of the three-dimensional item and create a compressed item definition file including a compressed volumetric description of the three-dimensional item. For example, the item definition file may include a plurality of item slices, from a bottom item slice to a top item slice, each item slice describing a two-dimensional portion of the three-dimensional item. For at least some of the item slices, the computer processor may encode data in the item definition file describing a particular item slice in terms of differences between that particular item slice and another item slice (e.g., a neighboring item slice directly below that particular item slice or an anchor item slice below that particular item slice).Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Benjamin Edward Beckmann, Peter Koudal, John Madelone, John William Carbone

Patent number: 11582042Abstract: A verification platform may include a data connection to receive a stream of industrial asset data, including a subset of the industrial asset data, from industrial asset sensors. The verification platform may store the subset of industrial asset data into a data store, the subset of industrial asset data being marked as invalid, and record a hash value associated with a compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata in a secure, distributed ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain technology). The verification platform may then receive a transaction identifier from the secure, distributed ledger and mark the subset of industrial asset data in the data store as being valid after using the transaction identifier to verify that the recorded hash value matches a hash value of an independently created version of the compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Benjamin Edward Beckmann, Anilkumar Vadali, Lalit Keshav Mestha, Daniel Francis Holzhauer, John William Carbone

Patent number: 11048228Abstract: According to some embodiments, a lossless protection procedure may be applied to control distribution of a print geometry of an industrial asset item. For example, an item definition data store may contain electronic records defining a geometry of the industrial asset item. A signature identifier encoder platform may determine a unique signature identifier associated with the industrial asset item and modify the geometry of the industrial asset item to encode therein information about the unique signature identifier. In some cases, for example, this may be done by adjusting a scanning pattern of a fill region (e.g., stripe, checkerboard, etc.) or a support structure of the industrial asset item. An authentication platform may then receive, from a sensor (e.g., an X-ray), a measured characteristic parameter of an item to be authenticated and determine a signature identifier of the item (which can be used to authenticate the item).Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John William Carbone, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, Michael Solomon Idelchik
