In the treatment of water, both potable water and wastewater, many processes rely on a disinfection stage. That stage is generally at the tail end of the process and is meant to kill pathogens prior to release of water from the treatment system. Chemical disinfection is a widely used technique. Two of the most popular chemical approaches are the use of Chlorine and Ozone. Both of these widely used...

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for use with an ostomate device. The apparatus of the present invention may provide protection and sound attenuation (e.g. reduction or elimination) of a stomal aperture for an ostomate having undergone an ostomy procedure. The present invention enables an ostomate safety when undergoing physical activity and confidence in social environments.

An external EMI diverting structure to electrically shield an electronic device from EMI is presented. The electronic device is physically isolated from the case ground which interrupts the EMI or lightning fault path. This shield provides a return path to ground for the EMI away from the electronic device and replaces conventional EMI filter capacitors, which are not connected to case ground. The...
