Abstract: Network traffic inspection is disclosed. An application executing on a client device as an operating system that uses a virtual private network (VPN) stack of the operating system intercepts a first IP packet. The application determines that a policy should be applied to the intercepted first IP packet. The policy is applied to the intercepted first IP packet.

Abstract: Hydrometallurgical solvent extraction processes for recovering value metal ion species such as any of manganese, cobalt, nickel, and/or lithium from solutions derived from recycled electronics and/or batteries and containing mixed-metal ions by separating the value metal ions using selective stripping techniques as herein described, are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the operation of at least one physical gaming machine (1), which comprises at least one digital camera (13) for taking images (5?) of a physical viewing display (5) of the gaming machine (1), and telecommunication means (4, 9) for real-time transmission of the images (5?) to a remote user terminal (10) comprising a gaming interface (11) for the live and continuous display of the images (5?) on a screen (10a).

Abstract: A method of making a stator module for use in a stator assembly of an electric machine includes temporarily supporting a plurality of stator segments in a desired orientation using a temporary support. The desired orientation of the stator segments is a relative orientation of the stator segments within the stator module. A mold is placed around the plurality of stator segments and the mold is filled with a potting material to form a stator module such that the potting material supports the stator segments in their desired orientation. The temporary support is removed.
