Of the $2.5 million that GE has targeted for earthquake relief in Haiti, $1 million will be used to help the next phase of the response effort — recovery. That stage is already underway with solar-powered water purification units now shipping to the devasted country, along with critically needed medical technologies (such as ultrasound, anesthesia and x-ray) and mobile video units to help search and rescue teams. In addition to the $2.5 million pledge, GE employees have donated $1.5 million to organizations supporting the relief efforts, half of which comes from matching grants from the GE Foundation.

Operates anywhere: The technology effectively treats groundwater, surface-water, and recycled rainwater or cistern water. They are solar-powered, portable, and able to produce clean drinking water using the same membrane treatment technology used by large scale treatment plants.

Sleep apnea is a common disease that affects millions of people all over the world — and one of the key ways of treating it is by sleeping with a mask hooked to a machine that gently blows air into the throat. In these systems, the air pressure is adjusted so that just enough is delivered in order to stop the airways from being narrowed during sleep. And it’s GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies’ Nova Pressure Amplified series of sensors that can provide the critically imporant calibrations and stable pressure measurement that’s required.

Each year, airlines can potentially lose millions of dollars due to small accidents that occur on the flightline, such as a minor collision with a baggage loader. Currently, an aircraft must be grounded following these incidents while extensive tests are conducted to confirm its integrity and airworthiness. For carbon fiber composites, when damage does occur, it can cause what’s known as “sub-surface delamination” — which is difficult to spot with visual inspection alone. GE’s Bondtracer allows flightline and ramp crews to evaluate the severity of impact damage right at the gate

Thousands of works of art from ancient Egypt to 20th-century Europe are on hand to dazzle visitors to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. But the views art lovers won’t see are the ones taken by GE’s digital radiography technology to help curators better understand the condition, design, and history of their great works.

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has been fighting to protect historic structures since it was founded in 1877 to fight the highly destructive ‘restoration’ of medieval buildings being practiced by many Victorian architects of that era. So when it came time to ensure the integrity of its own historic Spital Square headquarters in London, the famed organization turned to GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies to help it monitor critical temperature and humidity conditions.
