A system is provided for establishing a protected zone and monitoring interactions therewith. The system includes a protected zone designator and a wearable device. The protected zone designator establishes the protected zone. The protected zone designator is configured for placement at a location in which the protected zone is desired. The wearable device is separate and distal from the protected zone designator. The wearable device includes a protected zone recognition component configured to recognize the protected zone and identify pre-defined interaction criteria for the protected zone. Upon the wearable device entering the protected zone, the protected zone recognition component recognizes the protected zone and identifies the interaction criteria of the protected zone. Based on the interaction criteria the wearable device determines and records compliance with the interaction criteria.

Processes and apparatuses are described for recovering components dispersed in an aqueous solution, the process comprising contacting said solution as a first solution with a body of filaments, fibers, hair-like objects or other thread-like objects which have a high affinity for at least one of said components whereby a substantial fraction of said component is sorbed by said body. The body is subsequently contacted with a second aqueous solution as a receiving solution; such second solution comprising agents for facilitating the desorption of at least one of said selected components from the body into said second solution. The desorbed components are then separated from said body.

Apparatus for selecting connections from each of two or more inlet streams, at least two of which flow simultaneously, to one or more exit streams of a group of at least two. The apparatus has at least one rotatable first body, a first surface of which is adjacent to a first surface of a second body. The first body provides at least first and second fluid conduits, at least one end of each conduit terminating at the first surface of the first body. The second body also provides at least first and second fluid conduits, at least one end of each conduit terminating at the first surface of the second body. The first ends of each conduit provided by the first body and the first ends of each conduit provided by the second body are in such predetermined positions that the first conduit of the first body communicates with the second conduit of the second body. When such first body is rotated by a predetermined angle then the first conduit of the first body communicates with the second conduit of the second body and the second conduit of the first body communicates with the first conduit of the second body. The apparatus may be integrated into an end plate or end block of a reversing type electrodialysis or electrodeionization stack.

Processes and apparatuses are described for recovering components dispersed in an aqueous solution comprising contacting said solution as a first solution with an electrically conducting barrier, diaphragm or membrane which has a high affinity for at least one of said components whereby a substantial fraction of said component is sorbed by said barrier. The barrier is subsequently contacted with a second aqueous solution and a direct electric current is passed through said barrier and second solution in a direction substantially parallel to the smallest dimension of the barrier thereby facilitating desorption of at least one of the sorbed components from the barrier into the second solution which solution is thereafter removed.
