Abstract: A method is provided for obtaining performance measurements via metamodels streamed from multiple types and models of network devices connected to a network. The method comprises installing a generic collection agent on a server connected to the network, retrieving the metamodels from the network devices by the collection agent, storing the metamodels in a collection of metamodels on the server to be accessed by the collection agent and the network devices, analyzing the metamodels to provide the network devices with addressing information, streaming the performance measurements from the network devices to the collection agent using the addressing information, and analyzing and storing the performance measurements for later use.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of phosphorus containing waste waters, particularly pig manure, which comprises separating the waste water into a solids faction and a liquid faction, mixing the liquid faction with a mineral substance to reduce the phosphor content, and separating the liquid faction from the mineral substance. A preferred mineral substance is quarry fines.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of phosphorus containing waste waters, particularly pig manure, which comprises separating the waste water into a solids portion and a liquid, portion mixing the liquid portion with a mineral substance to reduce the phosphor content, and separating the liquid portion from the mineral substance. A preferred mineral substance is quarry fines.

Abstract: An accessory device for a roller skate is disclosed, for use to block the wheels of this roller skate. This device comprises a plurality of elongated members that are made of non-slippery material and sized to snugly fit transversely between two of the wheels. These members are linked together, preferably by an elastic rope which is forming a closed loop. The device can be secured to the frame of the roller skate whenever required by placing each member between two of the wheels to prevent the same from rotating. This device is very advantageous because it is inexpensive and very simple to install on a roller skate. It is also very light in weight and compact, thereby making it easy to carry.
