In use, the user inputs to the data processor a desired solids retention time (SRTDesired) to optimize the treatment process.

Abstract: A splash guard for a sink is set forth which includes a panel having a longitudinal dimension substantially co-extensive with the front of a sink. At the top the panel has an upper margin and at the bottom a trough. The guard is adapted to be removably secured to the cabinet containing the sink at the upper margin such that the panel is disposed in front of the cabinets below the sink to prevent splashes from falling on the cabinets. The trough directs any splashes away from the cabinets.

Abstract: A gun locking device includes a tube that fits within the bore of a handgun or other firearm and extends from the muzzle to the chamber. A first or expandable subassembly on the distal end portion of the tube cooperates with a second or actuator subassembly on the proximal end to enable a user to lock the tube within the barrel by operating the actuator assembly to thereby expand the expandable subassembly so that it obstructs removal of the tube from the barrel. The expandable subassembly holds radially moveable balls in a ring within the distal end portion of the tube and in alignment with a ring of radially facing apertures. Operation of an actuator knob on the actuator subassembly causes a compression rod within the tube to cause two compression balls to bear against the radially moveable balls so that the radially moveable balls protrude through the apertures to the chamber wall for locking purposes.
