Patent number: 11927344Abstract: A system and method for warmkeeping a steam generator such as a sub-critical steam generator is disclosed. Water extraction piping extracts water from a component of one of the water fill circuits of the sub-critical steam generator. A deaerator heating system having an inventory tank of water mixes the extracted water with the water in the tank, and heats the mix of water to a predetermined temperature level to generate heated deaerated feedwater. Feedwater piping forwards the heated deaerated feedwater at the predetermined temperature level from the deaerator heating system to the water fill circuits of the sub-critical steam generator. The water extraction piping, the deaerator heating system and the feedwater piping operate cooperatively to warmkeep the water fill circuits in accordance with the predetermined temperature level while the sub-critical steam generator is in the unfired stand-by mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventor: Ralph Mayer

Publication number: 20230359815Abstract: Analyzing and detecting altered documents is accomplished by accessing a target portable document format (PDF) document and extracting document content information from the target PDF document. The extracted document content information is analyzed to generate an intra document model for the target PDF document and then the extracted document content information is evaluated in accordance with the intra document model. Artifacts in the document content information are identified and an intra document score is determined based on the identified artifacts and their respective weightings. The document content information is evaluated again in accordance with one or more inter document models and artifacts in the document content information are again identified and an inter document score is similarly determined. A total alteration score is also determined based on the intra document score and inter document score.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Ralph MAYER, Erik GILES
