Abstract: The present invention includes various novel systems and methods for communication in a network. A System Environment Monitor is employed in some embodiments to extract from the network both real-time and historical Network Metrics at the Infrastructure Layer, as well as Application Metadata at the Application Layer. Network analytics facilitate decisions based upon the differing characteristics of Application Components and lower-level hardware components across multiple DTTs. In response, an SDN Controller generates modified sets of SDN Flows, and implements them in real time across a mixed technology (multi-DTT) network in a manner that avoids disrupting existing SDN Flows and other real-time network traffic.

Abstract: A process for disinfecting a treatment fluid is disclosed, including the step of admixing an aqueous solution comprising two or more oxidants generated via electrolysis of a salt solution with a treatment fluid. The mixed oxidants may be generated on site, using a containerized system.

Abstract: The present invention includes various novel systems and methods for dynamically modifying WDM transmission and receive steps (individually or in combination), including encoding client signals, mapping them to subchannels within or across ITU channels, modulating them onto subcarrier frequencies, and multiplexing them together for optical transmission. By dynamically modifying one or more of these processing steps over time (as well as encrypting underlying client signals), additional security is provided at the physical (optical) layer of an optical network, thereby greatly enhancing overall network security. Tunable lasers are employed to generate respective subcarrier frequencies, which represent subchannels of an ITU channel to which client signals are mapped.

Abstract: A baffle arrangement for a genset enclosure is disclosed. The genset enclosure may include an opening in a side of the enclosure and a plurality of baffles internally supported in the enclosure between the opening and a radiator portion. The baffles may be positioned in a sound path to reflect a sound transmitted along the sound path. A method for reducing sound in a genset enclosure is also disclosed. The method may include arranging a plurality of baffles within the enclosure between an opening and a radiator portion, the baffles being positioned in a sound path to reflect a sound transmitted along the sound path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a utensil which prepares the surface for food items prior to cooking. A utensil for the preparation of food items comprising a first part (5) defining a container for receiving in use food items through an opening of the first part (5) and means (6) for closing the opening of the first part wherein at least a portion of an inner surface of the first part (5) comprises protrusions (4) which said food items may be brought into contact with, in use, by shaking the utensil so as to roughen or abrade surfaces of said food items.
