Abstract: - A process and system for treating wastewater is described. The invention degrades sludge produced by treatment of the wastewater to reduce or eliminate the need for sludge dewatering and disposal. The invention also reduces the amount of nutrient additives required to sustain the aerobic wastewater treatment process. In one embodiment the invention includes the steps of (a) providing an aerobic treatment system receiving a supply of the wastewater; (b) treating a supply of the sludge to rupture microbial cells present therein to produce treated sludge having an increased liquid: solid ratio and an increased degradation potential in comparison to untreated sludge; (c) conveying a supply of the treated sludge to the aerobic treatment system; and (d) substantially degrading the supply of treated sludge in the aerobic treatment system. The process may be configured to treat activated sludge produced by the aerobic treatment system and/or primary sludge removed from the wastewater upstream of the aerobic treatment system. The treated sludge may optionally be subjected to anaerobic digestion prior to delivery to the aerobic treatment system. Treatment of the sludge may occur in a sludge treatment unit in fluid communication with the aerobic treatment system. In particular embodiments the sludge treatment unit may consist of a high pressure nozzle or other apparatus or methods to cause lysis and liquefaction of cellular material present in the sludge.

Abstract: A roller (C) for locking the head (100) is "locked" by the pusher (B), which is itself blocked by 3 balls (400) each housed in three housings: (L1) provided in the pusher; (L2) provided in a fixed support of the pusher, (L3) in a sliding outer sleeve (F). If a motor and a suitable mechanical system (600, 500) move the sleeve in translation, the housing (L2) comes to coincide with the position of the ball. This is driven from (L1) by the pusher, which retracts, the roller (C) also retracts, and the head is actuated. The sleeve can withstand translational, rotational and helical movements. More immediate actuation, increased reliability, simplicity, weight saving, ease of maintenance.

Abstract: Methods for operating real-time wireless networks enable robust medium access strategies for communicating nodes in the network. A given wireless channel is divided into several sub-carriers, with each node assigned to a subset of sub-carriers. A master wireless node uses different subsets of the sub-carriers to communication with two or more slave wireless nodes simultaneously. The method includes generation of preambles that are robust to interference and multipath conditions. The method also enables communication within a maximum predetermined latency bound.

Abstract: Provided is a method and device for correction restoration and analysis alarming of a distorted image. The method includes that: an original distorted image acquired by a distortion lens is received, and original distorted coordinates of each coordinate point in the original distorted image are acquired; and pre-stored distortion parameters of the distortion lens are acquired, and restored coordinates of each coordinate point in the original distorted image are determined to obtain a restored image. According to the disclosure, correction restoration processing is performed on the image acquired by the distortion lens to obtain an undistorted image by adopting the pre-stored distortion parameter of the distortion lens, so that a displayed picture is approximate to a real scene; and moreover, the restored image has the characteristic of large viewing angle, so that blind areas and dead angles of shooting at an ordinary viewing angle are avoided, capturing of an emergency in a security monitoring environment is facilitated, and security alarming accuracy is improved.
