Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for causing navigation notifications tailored for a helmet to be presented in the helmet. A determination may be made, such as by a processor, that a helmet is being worn by a user while a navigation event is occurring. A set of navigation notifications associated with the navigation event may be determined, where the set of navigation notifications is tailored for presentation in the helmet, and the set of navigation notifications may be presented in the helmet. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A method for deactivating organisms used in fermenting a biomass to produce one or more bioproducts (e.g., ethanol, etc.) generally includes an operation of conveying the organisms from a fermentation chamber to a distillation unit, and then an operation of effecting a positive six-log kill of the organisms in the distillation unit. A system for producing the one or more bioproducts, making use of the method, generally includes the fermentation chamber for holding the organisms during the fermentation operation, and the distillation unit configured to receive the fermented biomass, including the organisms, from the fermentation chamber. The distillation unit is operable to effect the positive six-log kill of the organisms in the distillation unit. In some applications of the method and system, the organisms are genetically modified organisms.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to provide timely notification of a medical response service of a subject who may require medical assistance. In the context of a method, information regarding a subject is received from an interface system carried by a head worn device of the subject, such as a helmet worn by the subject. The information provided by the interface system is utilized for non-medical purposes. The method also determines whether the subject is considered to require medical assistance based upon the information regarding the subject. The method may also include causing notification of a medical response service of the subject in an instance in which the subject is considered to require medical assistance.

Abstract: An apparatus that can be removably attached to an excavator has a bottom portion having a screen as part of the container, and the container has a variable widthwise coverage area. Liquid may drain from the screen, and debris may remain in the container to clean swampy areas.

Abstract: A data security provision system and method are provided herein.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for treating and digesting organic wastes in a wastewater stream. A first wastewater influent stream is mixed with an activated sludge biomass in an aerobic digestion zone, so that least a portion of the organic wastes in the first wastewater influent stream are digested by activated sludge biomass. The first wastewater influent stream is separated from the activated sludge biomass in a first separation zone to recover activated sludge biomass and to provide a wastewater effluent stream. The second wastewater influent stream is mixed with recovered activated sludge biomass from the aerobic digestion zone in a substantially anaerobic adsorption zone so that at least a portion of the organic wastes in the second wastewater influent stream are adsorbed by the activated sludge biomass.

Abstract: A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate. The exemplary system includes a vessel having a wall configured to contain substrate, a compartment positioned adjacent the wall of the vessel and configured to receive substrate from the vessel, and a filter positioned at least partially within the compartment and configured to separate permeate from substrate during operation of the filter. The compartment is configured to contain cleaning solution and substantially prevent cleaning solution from contacting substrate in the vessel during cleaning of the filter.

Abstract: A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate. The exemplary system includes a vessel configured to contain substrate, two or more compartments configured to receive substrate from the vessel and to return a portion of received substrate to the vessel, and a filter positioned at least partially within each of the compartments and configured to separate permeate from substrate during operation of the filter. At least one of the compartments is configured to contain cleaning solution and substantially prevent cleaning solution from contacting substrate in the vessel during cleaning of the filter. The exemplary system is configured for cleaning the filter in situ in at least one of the compartments while operating the filter in at least one other of the compartments. A method for adapting a filtration system for cleaning thereof and a method for withdrawing permeate from a substrate using a filtration system are also provided.

Abstract: A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate through a filter and for cleaning the filter in situ. The system includes a vessel configured to contain a substrate and a compartment connected to receive substrate from the vessel and connected to return a portion of received substrate to the vessel during normal operation of the system. The system also includes a filter positioned at least partially within the compartment to withdraw permeate from substrate in the compartment during normal operation of the system. A source of cleaning solution is connected to the compartment to deliver cleaning solution into the compartment and into contact with the filter during cleaning operation of the system. The compartment facilitates circulation of substrate in the vessel during normal operation of the system and substantially prevents introduction of cleaning solution from the compartment into contact with substrate contained in the vessel during cleaning operation. A method is also provided.
