Patent number: 9872403Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an electrical cabinet for an electrical assembly for a wind turbine. The electrical cabinet has one or more walls that define an internal volume having one or more electrical components configured therein. One or more of the walls includes an inner panel and an outer panel mounted to the inner panel. The inner panel includes an inner vent and the outer panel includes an outer vent. Further, the panels are arranged together so as to define a flow path between the inner and outer vents. Thus, during normal operation, air is directed from outside of the electrical cabinet to the internal volume of the electrical cabinet via the flow path so as to cool the one or more electrical components. Further, during a fault event, gas is permitted to exit the internal volume of the electrical cabinet via the flow path.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Winston Lei Zeng, Thomas Robert Donnelly, Cornelius Edward Holliday, III, David Scott Wilmer

Publication number: 20170171729Abstract: Systems and methods of announcing device communication availability are disclosed. A first computing device encodes first profile information into an announcement message. The announcement message includes an address field for storing a data link layer address, and the first profile information is encoded into the data link layer address stored in the address field. The first computing device then broadcasts the announcement message. Upon receipt of the announcement message at a second computing device, the second computing device decodes the data link layer address stored in the address field of the announcement message, to extract the first profile information. The second computing device compares the first profile information to second profile information stored at the second computing device; and based on the comparison, determines whether the first computing device is suitable for communication with the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2016Publication date: June 15, 2017Inventors: Darius Fox, Robert Donnelly

Patent number: 5658779Abstract: A method of adsorbing from a solution comprising a biological sample viruses which retain their viability and infectivity. The method comprises adjusting the pH of said solution to pH 6.0 to 8.0; adding an effective amount of a water insoluble cross-linked polycarboxylic acid polymer ("WCPP") into said solution in a volume:volume ratio of WCPP to solution of 100:1 to 1:10,000 to form a WCPP-solution mixture; incubating said WCPP-solution mixture for a time sufficient to immobilize said viruses on said WCPP forming a WCPP-virus matrix; and separating said matrix from said solution. This novel method is suitable for removing, purifying, recovering and analyzing viable viruses as well as viral components such as viral proteins and nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1995Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Assignee: LigoChem, Inc.Inventors: John Krupey, Allen D.
