Title: Portable camping sink
Inventor: THWAITES DANNY F
IPC: A47L17/02
Filed: 2013-08-13
Abstract: The portable camping sink of the invention includes a hollow rectangularly shaped housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, left and right side walls, a rear wall and an open front. A sink basin is hinged to the front of the bottom wall and is movable between a closed position where it substantially closes the open front of the housing and an operative position where it is at an angle of approximately 900 to the plane of the open front where it can function as a conventional sink. Locks and straps are provided for maintaining the basin in either its inoperative or operative positions. A separate water container is provided that has a size and shape allowing it to be inserted into the housing. The container includes a spout that overlies the basin when the basin is in its operative position. Racks or shelves are hinged to either side of the housing. The portable sink includes straps that allow it to be suspended from the trunk of a tree during use. Shoulder straps attached to the bottom wall allow a person to carry the camping sink on his or her back.

Patent CA-2829495-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARD OWEN P
IPC: C02F11/127
Filed: 2013-10-08
Abstract: Hydrophobic contaminants are removed from sludge that has been liquidized by violent shearing, by stirring a hydrophobic sorbent substance material into the sludge. After a period of time in which the contaminants are sorbed into the sorbent, the sorbent substance is separated from the sludge by gravity-settling, centrifuging, etc, where the sorbent is a liquid, or by filtration etc where the sorbent is a solid. Some sorbents have a melting point such that the sorbent can be liquid for good dispersal in heated sludge, and then can be solid when the sludge has cooled, whereby the sorbent can be removed e.g by filtration. Liquefaction by violent shearing causes the biosolids in the sludge to go into solution, which leaves the hydrophobic contaminants more available to be sorbed.

Title: Anti-splitter violation conditional key change
Inventor: DUVAL GREGORY
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 2011-06-28
Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing anti-piracy countermeasures in order to prevent unauthorized access of protected content. A conditional access system may be modified to include a counter. The counter is incremented every time the conditional access system receives a request that is a potential indication of pirate activity. The counter may also be decremented every time the conditional access system receives a request indicative of legitimate activity. If the conditional access system receives a management message containing a key required to access content keys, the conditional access system checks the counter. If the counter is below a threshold value, the conditional access system obtains the key. However, if the counter is above the threshold value, the conditional access system disregards the key contained in the management message, thereby losing access to protected content.
