Abstract: The disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of processing information to use when producing a mission plan to accomplish a mission. The example method includes obtaining one or more mission goals to be achieved during execution of the mission and obtaining information relating to one or more resources to be used during execution of the mission. The information relating to at least one of the resources includes uncertainty. The example method also includes obtaining user preferences relating to how the uncertainty is to be handled, transforming the information relating to the one or more resources according to the user preferences to reduce the uncertainty in the information and providing the transformed information to a smart process manager, for use by the smart process manager to identify one or more of the resources that are to be used to execute at least one mission step as part of at least one mission plan to achieve the one or more mission goals and accomplish the mission.

Abstract: Syringe assemblies and adapters for syringes that attach to and allow non-native syringes to be accepted by injectors having injector syringe interfaces adapted for particular types of syringes are described herein. Methods of forming the syringe assemblies, and kits including the syringe adapters which enable a non-native syringe to be operably attached to an injector are also described.

Abstract: The instant application describes methods of treating wastewater containing pathogenic microorganisms to reduce the concentration of those pathogenic microorganisms. The methods include measuring parameters or qualities of the wastewater, and using those parameters or qualities to determine the wastewater's ozone demand. The wastewater is dosed with ozone, with the dosage being less than the ozone demand. The ozone and wastewater are mixed with a static mixer, and the wastewater is oxidized by the ozone. Thereafter, the wastewater is disinfected via ultraviolet radiation treatment. The instant application further relates to a wastewater treatment system. The system includes an ozone reactor with a static mixer, an ozone supply device, at least one sensor, and an ultraviolet radiation disinfection unit. The ultraviolet radiation disinfection unit is located downstream from the ozone reactor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment of a municipal and/or industrial wastewater with a view to combating the endocrine disrupting effect and/or the toxic effect and/or the genotoxic effect thereof and to remove the pathogenic microorganisms therefrom, comprising a step of oxidation via ozone and a step of disinfection via UV radiation with a wavelength between 185 and 350 nm, characterized in that said ozone oxidation step is carried out in a static mixer at a low dose of ozone below the ozone demand of said water. The ozone oxidation step is immediately followed by said UV-radiation disinfection step. The process comprises a step of controlling the dose of ozone used in the water during the oxidation step and includes the measurement of at least one parameter that is representative of the quality of the water. This said measurement is carried out on the water to be treated and/or on the water that has undergone the ozone oxidation step and before its UV-radiation disinfection.
