  • Publication number: 20220083040
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate a predictive asset health quantifier of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a performance model analyzer to determine a fleet behavior parameter by generating a reference performance model using historical information for a fleet of operators using turbine engines, generate a residual performance model based on calculating a difference between the fleet behavior parameter and a plurality of operator behavior parameters, identify an operator as a candidate improvement target based on comparing the operator behavior parameters corresponding to the operator to the fleet in the residual performance model, and determine an adjusted operator behavior parameter for the candidate improvement target.

  • Patent number: 6322853
    Abstract: A process and product for increasing the flame resistance and thermal insulation properties of chemically treated substances, in some cases providing the treated substance with flame resistance at temperatures higher than 1800° C. (direct fire), with no limit to the time of exposure. A number of embodiments of flame resistant compositions are discussed herein but all embodiments include a mixture containing water, inorganic acids, ammonium salts, sodium carbonate and pyrophosphate and, in some instances other constituents. The disclosed process treats substances to prevent the generation of any flames. The substances that have successfully been tested with the disclosed process include cloth (natural and synthetic), rugs and carpets, wood, cardboard, and paper. However, it is believed that this process can be applied to an unlimited number of flammable cellulose substances.
