Patent number: 11965424Abstract: A method for providing overspeed protection for a gas turbine engine having an engine shaft includes monitoring, via an overspeed protection system, a torque of the engine shaft. The method also includes determining, via the overspeed protection system, at least one additional condition of the engine shaft. Further, the method includes determining, via the overspeed protection system, an overspeed condition of the gas turbine engine when the torque of the engine shaft drops below a torque threshold and the at least one additional condition of the engine shaft is indicative of the gas turbine engine being in an operational state. Thus, the overspeed condition is indicative of an above normal rotational speed of the engine shaft. In addition, the method includes initiating a shutdown procedure for the gas turbine engine in response to the determined overspeed condition to reduce the rotational speed of the engine shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Arthur William Sibbach, Brandon Wayne Miller, Erich Alois Krammer, Douglas Scott Jacobs, Joseph Alfred Iannotti

Patent number: 11883163Abstract: To better understand the impact of glycemic events, some entities have begun examining the relationship between the blood glucose level and another physiological parameter. However, this relationship can be difficult to understand. Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for discovering glycemic events in a series of data values representative of blood glucose measurements and then altering the measurement schedule of a sensor capable of generating measurements in a dimension other than blood glucose based on the glycemic events. By altering the measurement schedule of the sensor, a diabetes management platform can better understand how, if at all, dimensions other than blood glucose are related to the glycemic health state of a subject whose blood glucose level is being monitored.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: William Jacob Benhardt Biesinger, Joshua Burkart, Nathan Dickerson Beach, Shih-Yo Cheng
