Abstract: Biological denitrification of water using one or more bioreactor units containing bioreactor media, a prefilter assembly containing prefilter media, and a slow sand filter containing sand filter media. Each bioreactor unit requires certain water flow related values and the bioreactor media must have certain material or dimensional characteristics. An air scouring process is constrained to predetermined parameter values to remove excess biomass material from the bioreactor media. The prefilter assembly also includes a flow distribution device for providing uniform water flow throughout the cross-section of the prefilter media. In one embodiment, the prefilter assembly and the slow sand filter assembly are semi-portable in that they have a reduced size with limited dimensions. This enables the prefilter assembly and the slow sand filter assembly to be made at a remote location and transported to the site at which water is to be denitrified. The semi-portable aspect of the slow sand filter assembly results from a number of structural aspects including being made of modular filter containers, thin, reinforced walls being made of weldable materials, lifting elements connected to the walls, a container floor supported by a platform and filtered water carrying pipes that communicate with a common pipe located outside of the filter container.

Abstract: Improvements are described for a data processing system and method that allows a betting "house" to maintain a betting pool on a contest involving two or more contestants by controlling the terms (the betting odds and/or handicaps) for the contestants so that bettors are encouraged to place bets that will bring the betting pool (the "book") into balance. The system and method provides for "hedging" of bets in light of changing betting terms, such that bettors can guarantee profits or minimize losses before the contest is complete. Incoming bets may be placed in a queue before being processed, and their effect on pool balance evaluated before accepting or rejecting the bets. Bets in the queue may be accepted only in matching sets on all of the participating contestants, so as to prevent any imbalance of the betting pool. Alternatively, the bets may be rejected with an indication of the change in betting terms which would be required if the bets are to be accepted. Bets may be placed on the finishing order of the contestants, such that there will be multiple winning bets for a single contest. This system and method can also be used to play games, where the contestants do not incur actual financial obligations.
