Inventor: HANEY HAROLD E
IPC: B01D61/10
Filed: 1997-06-02
Abstract: The water treatment apparatus utilizes membrane separation technology to separate clean product from a contaminated water source. An improved valve (62, 64, 514) comprising a hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), a valve member (68, 92, 566) slidably arranged within the hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), and an interior channel (74, 86, 564) extending along at least a portion of the cylindrical member is provided. The improved valve (68, 64, 514) is arranged to provide a number of positions including a closed position, flush position and processing positions. These positions are arranged by axial movement of a valve member (68, 92, 566) along the cylindrical bore (74, 86, 564) of the valve body (66, 84, 560). A high pressure seal (310) is provided for use with submersible electric pumps (270) employed in the water treatment apparatus. The high pressure seal (310) provides a means for closing an opening (314) in a wall (316) of a housing containing high pressure water and for sealing around wires (318) extending through the opening (314). This seal (310) may also be used with any other technical device used under similar conditions. A tank (510) for use with smaller water treatment apparatus is also provided. This tank (510) is basically cylindrical with two part cylindrical recesses (532, 533) parallel to the axis of the tank (510) and lying along one side of the tank. Each recess (532, 533) receives a respective one of the cylindrical pump body (513) and the cylindrical reactor body (515). The pump (513) and reactor (515) are therefore efficiently stored within the cylindrical surface of the main tank (510).

Inventor: ROBERTS KIM BYRON
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: An Optical Transmission System (1) includes a monitor (8)
for outputting monitored data (a) representative of the
extent to which an optical signal is degraded by
polarization mode dispersion. The monitor measures the
degree of depolarization (U) present in a sample of the
optical signal derived from an optical tap (10), the
depolarization being associated with polarization
variation at the bit rate frequency of a signal data
stream carried by the optical signal. The monitored data
is used to control operation of the system to reroute the
optical path taken by the optical signal in the event of
a threshold level of polarization mode dispersion being
exceeded. A transmitter (2) of the optical signal may
also be controlled to minimize polarization mode
dispersion by varying the polarization state of the
optical signal at launch so as to reduce the measured
monitored data. The monitor functions during normal
transmission of optical signals without the need for
shutting down links of the system for measurement
purposes. The invention has particular application to
long haul optical transmissions of data streams at 10
Gb/sec or more.

IPC: H04L29/06

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and controlling network access includes
non-intrusively monitoring network traffic and assembling data packets that
are specific to individual node-to-node transmissions in order to manage
network access both inside and outside of a network. A rules base (78) is
generated to apply at either or both of the connection time and the time
subsequent to connection. With regard to a particular node-to-node
transmission, the data packets are assembled to identify the source and
destination nodes, as well as contextual information (i.e., ISO Layer 7
information). The access rules are applied in a sequential order to determine
whether the transmission is a restricted transmission. The rules are maintained
in a single rules base (78) for the entire network and are distributed to
each monitoring node. Any of the protocols in the suite of TCP/IP protocols
can be managed. The result of an analysis against the rules base (78)
causes a connection attempt to be completed or denied, a previously
established connection to be broken, logging to occur, or a combination of
these and other actions. Data collected during connection attempts or during
a connection's lifetime may be passed to a third-party hardware or software
component in order for independent validation to take place. Traffic
monitoring and access management can be executed at a node other then a
choke point of the network.
