Abstract: The method for controlling a water treatment unit in operation comprising at least the following steps of determining (1000) a normalized flow-rate value (D48) per unit of surface area and per unit of pressure of an ultrafiltration membrane (48); water treatment (1004) if a difference (?1) between the normalized flow value and a first reference value (D481) is less than or equal to a first threshold value (D1); regeneration (1010) of the ultrafiltration membrane (48) if the difference (?1) between the normalized flow-rate value and the first reference value (D481) is greater than the first threshold value (D1).

Abstract: A base (2) for a floor mat (1) is composed of a plurality of components that are releasably-secured together to define at least one recess, for receiving matting material (3), and a ramp-like edge (4) that inclines upwardly from the level of the floor surface to the level of the upper surface of the mat. In some embodiments, the ramp-like edge may extend without interruption around the entire periphery of the base. In other embodiments, in which the base is generally rectangular, the ramp-like edge may extend without interruption along only two opposed sides of the base. Advantageously, the height of the walls of the/each recess is such that the tops of the walls are at the level of the upper surface of the mat.

Abstract: A remote customisation module for a logic engine, running upon a server remote from said logic engine, comprises a communication interface arranged to communicate with the logic engine and with an application running upon said server. The module also comprises a logic element arranged to receive an incoming request for data from the logic engine via the communication interface. The logic element is arranged to interrogate the application in order to extract data required to fulfill said request. The logic element is also arranged to process said extracted data to generate response data and to pass said response data to the logic engine.
