Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method is presented for providing an end user with a virtual reality experience. A server generates three-dimensional information. The three-dimensional information is generated using real-time alarm information representing an alarm, VRML schema information and meta-data. A client receives the three dimensional information. A three-dimensional image of a network operations center including a device responsible for the alarm is presented in a GUI. Operating the GUI allows the end user to experience moving through the operations center to the location of the device responsible for the alarm.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating sewage and converting the sewage into organic fertilizer which utilizes equipment for converting the solid material of the sewage into patties and a mixing apparatus for mixing the patties with bulking agents. The mixture of patties and bulking agents is stored in a pile and subjected to a supply of air to enhance the self-combustion or oxidation of the organic material in the patties. The bulking agents provide the patty-bulking agent mixture with air passages and pockets and minimize compaction of the patties. The self-combustion of the patties continues until the organic material is burned out, leaving a residual ash. A shaker separator having an elongated longitudinal perforated member is reciprocated to separate the ash from the bulking agents. The ash is collected and utilized as organic fertilizer. The bulking agents are recycled back to the mixing apparatus.
