Abstract: In a method and apparatus for treating fluids, a pump delivers a fluid flow from a fluid source to a manifold. The manifold divides the fluid flow into first and second fluid flows, which are delivered from the manifold to a housing. The housing includes therein a first vortex nozzle positioned in opposed relationship to a second vortex nozzle. The first fluid flow enters the first vortex nozzle to create a first rotating fluid flow, and the second fluid flow enters the second vortex nozzle to create a second rotating fluid flow. The first and second vortex nozzles impinge the first and second rotating fluid flows in a collision chamber, thereby treating the fluid.

Abstract: A capillary carpet irrigation system comprises a capillary carpet ( 10 ) having a series of individual capillary mat sections ( 9 a, 9 b, 9 c . . . ) hydraulically isolated from one another by a water impermeable base membrane ( 18 ), thereby preventing water migration from one section to the next. This discontinuity advantageously allows the capillary carpet ( 10 ) to operate on sloppy surfaces and promotes effective capillary connection between coarse growing media and the mat. A protective water permeable membrane ( 15 ) is provided on top of the series of individual capillary mat sections ( 9 a, 9 b, 9 c . . . ).

Abstract: A procedure and a mechanism for the painting/lacquering and the subsequent hardening of the paint/lacquer layer on a molded object preferably of plastic. The processes are carried out in the same tool that performs the molding of the objects, which shall be painted/lacquered and hardened. This can be realized by the molding-tool, which can both be a one- and a multi-component tool, which is supplied with at least one turnable mold part, which through stepwise turning each of e.g. 90 degrees, leads the object through four stations, where the objects respectively are molded, painted/acquered, hardened and finally ejected from the turnable mold part.

Abstract: A system and method in a telecommunications network for billing a call placed by a user based on a reported traffic load in the network. The system includes at least one Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) that sends a reported traffic load for the MGCF in a registration message to a presence and instant messaging (PIM) Server. Users that subscribe to a load-based billing service also register with the PIM Server. The PIM server sends the reported traffic load to the users whenever the traffic load is updated by the MGCF, and to a billing node when the user places the call. A Call State Control Function (CSCF) sends the duration of the call to the billing node. The billing node determines a billing rate based on the reported traffic load and calculates a charge for the call based on the determined billing rate and the duration of the call.
