Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for separating an amount of an amphiphilic contaminant substance such as PFAS from water. The method comprising the steps of admitting the water which contains the substance into a flotation cell chamber, and then introducing a flow of gas thereinto. The gas is introduced by several different apparatus options for efficient aeration of the chamber, depending on the water being treated. The introduced gas produces a froth layer which is formed at, and which rises above, an interface with the contents of the chamber. The froth layer includes an amount of water and also a concentrated amount of the contaminant substance when compared with its initial concentration. The process then involves collapsing and removing the froth layer, with several options for removing the PFAS from that liquid by re-flotation to reconcentrate the PFAS, or absorption onto a solid substrate material.

Abstract: During operation, an access point may provide a first WLAN and a second WLAN, where the first WLAN uses a WPA2-compatible authentication protocol and the second WLAN uses a WPA3-compatible authentication protocol. In response to an association request or a probe request associated with (or from) an electronic device, the access point may establish a connection with the electronic device using the first WLAN. Then, the access point may confirm, with a computer system, that a binding between a passphrase associated with the electronic device and the second WLAN exists. Alternatively, when the binding does not exist, the access point may establish the binding in the computer system. Next, the access point may perform a BSS transition of the electronic device from the first WLAN to the second WLAN.
