Abstract: An electrolytic reactor for the electrolytic treatment of a fluid is disclosed. The reactor comprises an electrolytic chamber, an electrode cartridge comprising an electrode assembly longitudinally extending from a crown section configured to operatively seal the electrolytic chamber when the electrode assembly is inserted in the electrolytic chamber; an inlet extending perpendicularly to a vertical longitudinal axis defined by the electrolytic chamber; and an outlet extending through the crown section along the vertical longitudinal axis defined by the electrolytic chamber, the outlet being configured to be in fluid communication with the electrolytic chamber when the electrolytic chamber is sealed by the crown section. Advantageously, by having the outlet extending upwardly above the electrodes, any dead zone typically found on electrodes at the level of the outlet are eliminated, increasing as such the useful surface area of the electrodes spanning the entire length of the electrolytic chamber.

Abstract: A method by a first security edge protection proxy (SEPP) for security edge protection of messages being communicated between first and second communications networks of a communications system. The method receives, from a first network function of the first communications network, a first message containing an address identifying a second network function which is located in the second communications network. The method receives, from a second SEPP operating to protect communications with the second communications network, a second message containing a fully qualified domain name, FQDN, reference for a combination of the second SEPP and the second network function. The method stores the FQDN reference for the combination of the second SEPP and second network function in a label-to-FQDN mapping data structure with a logical association to a substitute locally-unique label, and sends a third message containing the substitute locally-unique label to the first network function.

Abstract: A cabinet lock secures a door panel to a cabinet frame and includes a latching component and an electromechanical component. The latching component has a latch member reciprocally translatable between a locked orientation to secure the door panel to the cabinet frame and an unlocked orientation to free the door panel from the cabinet frame. The electromechanical component includes an actuator and drive member. Powering the actuator causes the drive member to translate the latch member to the unlocked orientation. A drive member position sensor may emit a signal indicative of the position of the latch member. The electromechanical component may be retrofit-able to a latching component of a pre-existing mechanical cabinet lock.
