An elevated seat assembly for a toilet bowl has a stiff platform adapted to (a) rest atop said bowl, and (b) attach to the rear of the bowl. The assembly also has a compressible, raised seat that is releasably attached to the stiff platform. The raised seat has a flexible upper surface. The raised seat and platform can be installed together on the bowl. The raised seat can then be removed from the platform, leaving the platform installed on the bowl. In some cases the raised seat is horseshoe-shaped and its front to back orientation can be reversed before reinstalling it on the platform.

An electronic circuit includes a primary wide bandgap bipolar power switching device configured to supply a load current in response to a control signal applied to a control terminal thereof, and a driver device configured to generate the control signal. At least one of the primary switching device or the driver device may include an optically triggered switching device. A discrete wide bandgap semiconductor device includes a primary bipolar device stage configured to switch between a conducting state and a nonconducting state upon application of a control current, and a bipolar driver stage configured to generate the control current and to supply the control current to the primary bipolar device stage. At least one of the primary bipolar device stage and the bipolar driver stage may include an optically triggered wide bandgap switching device.

Controlling a user's usage of network resources, after the user has been authenticated, without using any network resources beyond the user's entry point to the network. A plurality of users may be connected to an entry point of a network of a network device by a shared transmission medium. Each users' usage of network resources is controlled, after such user has been authenticated, without using any network resources beyond such user's entry point to the network. For each one or more users, packet rules may be provisioned to the user's entry point to the network, where such entry point may be shared with other users. The packet rules may be applied to each packet received from the user before any network resources beyond the entry point are used. These packet rules may be associated with an identity of the user and then provisioned to the user's entry point in response to the user being authenticated. If a plurality of users are connected to an entry point by a shared transmission medium, packet rules associated with the users may be provisioned to the entry point and applied to packets received from the users before any network resources beyond the entry point are used. Such packet rules may be provisioned to a number of network entry devices and may serve as a distributed firewall for users of a network, as opposed to a centralized firewall. An entry port module of a network entry device may be configured based on an identity of one or more users as a result of the authentication of the one or more users, respectively, and each packet received from each user may be examined to control usage of network resources by the user.

A system and method for monitoring fuel efficiency of a vehicle is provided. Fuel efficiency of a vehicle may be monitored in real-time using telemetry transmitted from the vehicle. The telemetry may be analyzed in combination with a fuel efficiency model in order to determine whether the real-time fuel efficiency determination deviates from a baseline fuel efficiency. The real-time fuel efficiency monitoring system and method may be used for feedback for the driver, such as sending real-time messages to the driver to modify operation of the vehicle to increase fuel efficiency. The fuel efficiency model may further be used to assign vehicles in a fleet to particular routes, vehicles to particular drivers, or vehicles to particular routes with particular drivers.

A separation apparatus having a first tube having an inside diameter and a height, a second tube having an outside diameter and substantially the height of the first tube, the second tube concentric with the first tube, the tubes having a common center-line, a spiral track implemented between the first tube and the second tube, the spiral track descending along the first and second tubes, and a plurality of magnet assemblies positioned on an outside wall of the first tube, providing magnetic fields through the outside wall of the first tube into regions where the spiral track meets the inside diameter of the first tube. A material mixture is introduced at an upper end of the apparatus, entrained in water down the spiral track, and some of the magnetic particles are separated from the material mixture and retained in the magnetic field of individual ones of the magnet assemblies.

An elutriation apparatus has a mechanism adapted to move water along a path, the water entraining material particles of different density, and a plurality of elutriation columns interfaced to the mechanism adapted to move the water with entrained particles, the elutriation columns interfaced along the path, each elutriation column having a vertical bore with water controlled to travel up the vertical bore at one velocity and having also a capture element at the bottom of the bore. As the water with entrained particles passes over each interface to an elutriation column along the path, particles of a density sufficient for the particles to settle in the elutriation column at a velocity greater than the upward velocity of water in the bore of the elutriation column, settle to the bottom of the column, and particles of lesser density pass on to a next elutriation column interfaced along the path.

The present invention provides a method and system for controlling usage of network resources on a communications network. The method comprising acts of: (a) creating one or more packet rules for analyzing packets received at one or more devices of the communications network, each rule including a condition and action to be taken if a packet received at a device satisfies the condition; and (b) creating one or more service abstractions associated with a user of the communication network, each service abstraction representing a named set of one or more of the packet rules. In some embodiments one or more role abstractions may be created, each role abstraction representing a role of a user with respect to the communications network, and each role abstraction including a set of one or more packet rules, and possibly one or more service abstractions.

A soft drink and method of producing a soft drink that is a fortified, normally zero calorie beverage, formulated with natural flavors such as lemon or berry that can be formulated from L-Gluamine, sodium bicarbonate, a potassium salt like potassium chloride or potassium gluconate, caffeine with optional B vitamins, folic acid and vitamin C added for fortification along with a sweetener. This drink mixture can help reduce or eliminate symptoms of a hangover caused by alcohol consumption as well as supply a large portion of the recommended daily requirements for some vitamins and minerals.
摘要:
A user's usage of network resources is controlled, after the user has been authenticated, without using any network resources beyond the user's entry point to the network. Packet rules may be provisioned to the user's entry point to the network, and the packet rules may be applied to each packet received from the user before any network resources beyond the entry point are used. These packet rules may be associated with an identity of the user and then provisioned to the user's entry point in response to the user being authenticated. Usage of network resources of a communications network by a user beyond a network device of the communications network that serves as the user's entry point to the communications network is controlled. The port module of the network device is configured with one or more packet rules corresponding to an identity of the user. A packet is received from a device used by the user at the port module, and, before using any of the network resources beyond the network device, the one or more packet rules are applied to the received packet. Another embodiment is provided for controlling usage of network resources of a communications network by a user. The user has an assigned role with respect to the communications network, and the assigned role is associated with one or more packet rules, each packet rule including a condition and action to be taken if a packet received at a device satisfies the condition. A packet including identification information of the user is received from a device of the user at a port module of a network device. The assigned role of the user is determined based on the identification information, and the port module is configured with the one or more packet rules associated with the assigned role of the user.
