Publication number: 20240110504Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, and a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with the fan and with a low pressure turbine of the turbine section. The low pressure turbine includes a rotating drum to which a first airfoil structure is connected and extends radially inward toward the rotary member. A torque frame connects the rotating drum to the rotary member and transfers torque from the first airfoil structure mounted to the rotating drum to the rotary member. The torque frame includes an inner disk mounted to the rotary member, an outer ring and a second airfoil structure formed separately from the outer ring and connected thereto by a releasable connecting structure. The second airfoil structure extends radially inward from the outer ring toward the inner disk.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicants: General Electric Company, GE Avio S.r.l.Inventors: Ranganayakulu Alapati, Peeyush Pankaj, Sanjeev Sai Kumar Manepalli, Bhaskar Nanda Mondal, Thomas Moniz, N V Sai Krishna Emani, Shishir Paresh Shah, Anil Soni, Praveen Sharma, Randy T.

Patent number: 11184831Abstract: A solar-powered device (SPD) relay node is coupled to a remotely-located “leaf” node in order to provide the leaf node with network access. The SPD relay node routes network traffic to and from the leaf node via one or more different paths that traverse other SPD relay nodes that reside upstream of the SPD relay node. The SPD relay node determines a specific path across which to route the network traffic based on several different factors associated with the upstream SPD relay nodes, including battery level, solar generation rate, and link quality. The SPD relay node generates a routing metric for each upstream SPD relay node based on these different factors and then routes traffic across the upstream SPD relay nodes based on the routing metric and based on a priority level associated with the network traffic.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: ITRON, INC.Inventors: Bruce Edwards, Kunal Pankaj Shah

Patent number: 10743242Abstract: An access point coupled to a node within a network is configured to combine channel maps provided by other access points to which the node is coupled, thereby reconciling any discrepancies between those channel maps. The access point may also combine channel maps associated with different regions that the node may occupy, thereby reducing the number of channel maps that must be transmitted to the node when the node travel between regions.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: ITRON NETWORKED SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Benjamin A.

Patent number: 10193778Abstract: A communication device detects whether anomalous events occur with respect to at least one node in a utility network. The communication device has recorded therein threshold operating information and situational operating information. The threshold operating information includes data indicative of configured acceptable operating parameters of nodes in the network based on respective locational information of the nodes. The situational information includes data indicative of configured operation data expected to be received from nodes in the network during a predetermined time period, based on a condition and/or event occurring during the time period. The communication device receives operation data from nodes in the network, and determines whether the operation data from a node constitutes an anomalous event based on a comparison of the received operation data with (i) the threshold operating information defined for the node and (ii) the situational information.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: ITRON NETWORKED SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Raj Vaswani, Jana van Greunen, Aditi Dubey, Kunal Pankaj Shah

Patent number: 9900736Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that initiate mobile-terminated location requests in response to receiving an indication that an audio incident occurred at a given location. The mobile-terminated location requests are initiated for one or more mobile stations within a cell of a wireless network that is known to provide wireless service coverage to a geographic area that comprises the location of the audio incident. In response to the mobile-terminated location request, an estimate of the mobile station's current location is received. Based on the estimated current location of the mobile station relative to the location of the audio incident, the illustrative systems and methods may generate an association between the mobile station and the audio incident. When an association is generated, it is transmitted for possible further processing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Polaris Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Scot Douglas Gordon, Mahesh B.

Publication number: 20170250818Abstract: Devices and methods for securely upgrading devices, such as field upgradeable units, are disclosed. In response to receiving an update object, a device may determine whether a predefined location of memory includes a predetermined value. Based on the value in the predefined location, the device may store the received update object in a verification portion of the memory. After verifying the authenticity of the update object, the device may copy the update object from the verification portion of the memory to an inactive portion. The inactive portion of the memory can be swapped with an active portion of the memory, such that the inactive portion becomes active.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Applicant: Silver Spring Networks, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Deierling, Aditi Dubey, Alexander Gostrer, Kunal Pankaj Shah

Patent number: 9686735Abstract: A server acts as a proxy mechanism for node registration with a database. The node initially registers to participate in a wireless mesh network by transmitting a registration request to the server. The server forwards the request to the database, which validates the request. The server records that the registration request was, in fact, validated by the database. The node is then permitted to participate in the network. If the node becomes decoupled from the network, the node may then transmit a re-registration request to the server. Since the server recorded that the previous registration was validated, the server may then simply validate the re-registration request, without interacting with the database.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Silver Spring Networks, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A. Rolfe, Kunal Pankaj Shah, Jay Ramasastry, Cristina Seibert
