Abstract: A wastewater treatment system is provided comprising a biological reactor having a separation subsystem, a suspension system and a membrane operating system. The separation subsystem is constructed and arranged to maintain adsorbent material in the biological reactor with a mixed liquor. The suspension system is positioned in the biological reactor and is constructed and arranged to maintain adsorbent material in suspension with mixed liquor. The membrane operating system is located downstream of the biological reactor and is constructed and arranged to receive treated mixed liquor from the biological reactor and discharge a membrane permeate. In addition, a wastewater treatment system is provided comprising a first biological reaction zone, a second biological reaction zone and a membrane operating system. The first biological reaction zone is constructed and arranged to receive and treat the wastewater.

Abstract: A computer-implemented-method for adjusting keyword bids includes aggregating a plurality of keywords into a pool and performing a statistical analysis of the pool to determine a return-on-investment factor. Each keyword is then evaluated in view of the return-on-investment factor and use of an individual keyword is paused or a bid price of the individual keyword is maintained or adjusted or the individual keyword is deleted—all of which is based on the return-on-investment factor.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an improved multiple grid electrode having a plurality of discs by simultaneously forming a dimpled segment in a sandwich structure consisting of metallic discs separated by spacer material. The dimpled sandwich structure is then machined, forming a series of vanes on the dimpled portion by an appropriate method, such as electrical discharge. After machining, the spacer material is etched away, leaving only the vaned discs, forming grid electrodes.
