Publication number: 20240391803Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating a water stream comprising contaminants, the method comprising the steps of: mixing the water stream and a recycle stream in a first ratio to form a combined stream; electrochemically treating the combined stream in a first treatment zone of an electrochemical treatment unit having a first polarity to form a treated combined stream; dividing the treated combined stream into the recycle stream and a finishing stream in a second ratio; and passing the finishing stream to a second treatment zone having the opposite polarity to the first treatment zone to form an output stream. An apparatus for treating a water stream and the use of the method or apparatus for treating a water stream are also described. Various other apparatuses and methods are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventor: Nigel Brown

Publication number: 20240137390Abstract: The technology disclosed includes a system to reduce clutter when displaying a security analysis graph of nodes and edges. Simple chains of nodes do not have branches and are equivalent when they have the same length, connection types and endpoints. First, second and potentially more simple chains can be aggregated for display. A third and potentially more simple chains can be excluded from aggregation based on an accumulated risk analysis score. The excluded simple chain can readily be called to an analyst's attention.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Netskope, Inc.Inventors: Joshua D. Batson, Raymond J. Canzanese, JR., Nigel Brown

Also described is a water treatment system comprising a tank with an inlet for supplying contaminated water, one or more modular water treatment units located within the tank, said water treatment units comprising one or more electrodes and an electricity supply operably connected to the electrodes. Also provided are a method of constructing a modular water treatment unit for a water treatment system and a method of operating a water treatment unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Mikael Khan, Akinlabi Adeyemi, Nigel Brown

Patent number: 11856016Abstract: The technology disclosed includes a system to reduce clutter during graph presentation for security incident analysis. The system includes logic to score nodes potentially collapsed by equivalence, of indicated interest for security incident analysis, to prevent aggregation. The system includes logic to aggregate and hide equivalent nodes that have matching degrees, that are connected to matching nodes by matching edge types, and that have scores below a first selected threshold. The system does not collapse nodes that are interesting for security analysis and keeps them visible. The technology disclosed identifies chains of at least three nodes having degrees of 1 or 2, without branching from any node in the chain. The identified chains are collapsed into chain-collapsed single nodes. Two different cases of chains including whisker chains ending in a leaf node and chains connected at both ends to two other nodes are presented.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Netskope, Inc.Inventors: Raymond J. Canzanese, Jr., Nigel Brown

Publication number: 20150191367Abstract: The apparatus comprises a treatment reservoir defining first and second treatment zones separated by a porous membrane. Carbon-based adsorbent material capable of electrochemical regeneration is provided in said first and second treatment zones. An agitator is operable to distribute the adsorbent in aqueous organic waste liquid contained in the first and second treatment zones. First and second electric current feeders are operably connected to the adsorbent in the first and second treatment zones respectively. A controller operates the electric current feeders to pass an electric current through the adsorbent in the treatment zones in one direction to regenerate the adsorbent in one of the treatment zones and to then reverse the direction of the current applied to the adsorbent to regenerate the adsorbent in the other treatment zone. Further apparatus is described which facilitates aqueous waste water treatment in a continuous manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2013Publication date: July 9, 2015Inventors: Nigel Brown, Edward Roberts, Donald Eaton, Akinlabi Adeyemi
