Patent number: 11484892Abstract: A particle separator for removing particles from a gaseous stream, the particle separator having a separator body having a centerline axis and a peripheral wall defining a separation chamber, a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, a particle outlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, and a plurality of angled inlet apertures fluidly coupled between the fluid inlet and the separation chamber. A particulate separation system for removing particles from a gaseous stream, the particulate filtration system having an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of particle separators located between and in fluid communication with, the inlet and the outlet, wherein each of the plurality of particle separators receives less than about 5 percent by volume of the flow of the gaseous stream entering the inlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Joseph Rock, Jr., Cassidy Charles Shibiya, Travis Gene Sands, Joshua Tyler Mook, Zachary William Nagel, Mary Kathryn Thompson

Patent number: 10989480Abstract: A counter-flow heat exchanger is provided that includes: a first fluid path having a first supply tube connected to a first transition area separating the first fluid path into a first array of first passageways, with the first array of first passageways merging at a first converging area into a first discharge tube; and a second fluid path having a second supply tube connected to a second transition area separating the second fluid path into a second array of second passageways, with the second array of second passageways merge at a second converging area into a second discharge tube. The first passageways and the second passageways have a substantially helical path around the centerline of the counter-flow heat exchanger. Additionally, the first array and the second array are arranged together such that each first passageway is adjacent to at least one second passageway.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Joseph Rock, Jr., Matthew Goldenberg, Lauren Ashley Henning, Jeffrey Miles McMillen Prescott, Kevin Robert Shannon

Patent number: 10677223Abstract: A method for customizing bedplates for a plurality of wind turbines having different loading requirements. The method includes forming a plurality of baseline bodies for the bedplates that includes a near net shape of one of the bedplates. Further, the method includes determining a loading requirement of the bedplates of each of the wind turbines. Moreover, the method includes applying additional material to an exterior surface of the plurality of baseline bodies via an additive manufacturing process so as to customize a structural capacity of each of the bedplates such that the structural capacity of each of the bedplates can withstand the loading requirement for each of the wind turbines. Accordingly, the structural capacity of each of the plurality of baseline bodies may be the same or may be different.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Joseph Rock, Jr., Trevor Allen Montre, Aaron Janicz, Matteo Bellucci

Patent number: 7249145Abstract: A candidate selection system that generates data-driven candidate selections of large populations of submitted résumés using common independent assessment variables and against desired qualities is described. A processor executing the candidate selection program is pre-programmed to include a listing of desired qualities that the ideal candidate for the position should possess. Each submitted résumé is reviewed and data input from the résumés is normalized to produce values representing weighted scores unique to the specific candidate and in terms of the sought-after desired dependant qualities.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2000Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Peter Joseph Rock, Robert Patrick Tameo, Brian Edward Dix, Kevin John Brown, Bridget Buzdon Davis
