Abstract: Described is a computer system for providing virtual computers. The computer system includes a pool facility for storing a pool of suspended virtual computers based on at least one virtual computer template. The computer system includes a provision manager for ensuring that a series of system logon requests results in the user being provided with a series of virtual computers that reflect applied updates. The provision manager includes an update facility, a resume facility and a customization facility. The update facility regularly applies updates to the virtual computer template to ensure that each virtual computer reflects the updates. The resume facility resumes suspended virtual computers provided by the pool facility. The customization facility customizes each virtual computer for the particular user after the virtual computer is resumed from the pool of suspended virtual computers, the customization including providing the resumed virtual computer with a user data layer.

Abstract: A system and method for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas directed into a first wastewater heating chamber at a first velocity and a first wastewater stream is directed into the first wastewater heating chamber. A second wastewater heating chamber coupled to the first wastewater heating chamber and in fluid communication with the first wastewater heating chamber is disclosed. The wastewater streams and heated gas are propagated to optimize the water drop size within the heating chambers.

Abstract: A system for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas directed into a wastewater heating chamber having a cooling assembly for minimizing scale buildup.

Abstract: In one form of the present invention, there is provided a computer implemented method 10 of enabling one or more access provider systems 12 to secure access to content on first electronic devices 14, the computer implemented method 10 comprising: receiving encrypted input information 16, the encrypted input information 16 being inputted by users 18 on second electronic devices 20; and transmitting input information 16 to the one or more access provider systems 12 to allow the one or more access provider systems 12 to determine whether to authorise access to content on the first electronic devices 14.
