Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a process for purification of grey water. In particular the invention relates to in-home purification of grey water generated from laundry wash and/or rinse liquor for water saving by re-use. Surprisingly it has been found that it is possible to design a device and a process where, by continuous aeration, foam breaking and separation, the laundry wash and rinse water can be made substantially free of surfactants. This water is then preferably filtered to recover fresh water which can be reused for multiple applications.

Abstract: Aggregated transaction data from a transaction data provider may be encrypted and exchanged with a content item selection system using commutative encryption algorithms. The transaction data provider and content item selection system may utilize a set of common identifiers that are each encrypted using a respective commutative encryption algorithm of the transaction data provider or content item selection system. The other of the transaction data provider or content item selection system encrypts the single-encrypted common identifier using a respective commutative encryption algorithm to generate double encrypted common identifiers. The double encrypted common identifiers may be used to match a set of common identifiers with transaction data. The transaction data may be encrypted and/or may include random offset values.

Abstract: A method includes issuing a tuned request on a specified active link having an ingress shaper and an egress shaper to a server utilizing a link capacity to an extent in both a forward path and a return path, determining a link capacity for the active link, monitoring the active link and dropping any traffic traveling via the active link when a limit of at least one of the ingress shaper and the egress shaper is exceeded.

The second data includes the application identifier and a device identifier for the client device. The matching may further include receiving third data from the client device that includes the account identifier and the device identifier. The conversion can be determined as associated with the interaction with the content item displayed with the resource based on matching the second data with the first data based on the third data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. The method includes anonymously linking at least two different identifiers associated with two different requesting sources. The linking uses an identifier that does not include any personally identifiable information.
