The embodiments herein provide a method and system for building a family tree through a social network. The method includes receiving login credentials from a first person, providing access to a profile of the first person in the social network based on the login credentials, receiving a first triggering event from the first person; wherein the first triggering event occurs when the first person actuates first web element, providing a user interface for building a family tree on receiving the first triggering event from the first person, receiving a second triggering event from the first person; wherein the second triggering event occurs when the first person actuates second web element in the profile of the first person, saving the changes related to the family tree on receiving the second triggering event from the first person, and displaying the family tree on the user interface of the social network.

Dual screen treatment systems with debris ramps and screened deflectors
11491422 · 2022-11-08 · ·

Vaults, boxes, systems, and methods of treatment systems to capture pollutants from storm water runoff and prevent the conveyance of these pollutants from entering a receiving water body or landscape area, which is designed to be a part of a local permanent storm water drainage infrastructure. A single treatment box, vault and system combines both drainage conveyance, multi-level treatment techniques, variable hydraulic capabilities, and easy and inexpensive methods for servicing the system. A flow spreader having a triangular shape with straight sides, or concave sides or convex sides can split incoming water to pass into dual screen filtration systems. Additionally, an upwardly angled debris ramp above a downwardly angled screened defector can be located on both sides of the flow spreader to help direct debris and trash into dual screened boxes. The system can also include components selected from a shelf beneath the spreader, at least one baffle, skimmer, deflectors, media filtration and hydroslide water pressure lines with spray heads for cleaning debris on a sloped floor.

OIL CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
20220349169 · 2022-11-03 ·

An oil containment system and installation method for a transformer mounted on a transformer pad, comprising a plurality of interlocking open-topped containment units. Each of the containment units having a base, a sump formed with two vertically-aligned sidewalls, a first end, and a second end. The sidewalls have support struts extending across the sump and a grate member. At least one of the ends includes a connecting member or a receiving member, the connecting member sized to be placed within the receiving member sized to interlock adjacent containment units. A discriminative outlet is disposed within an opening in the sidewall and includes a filtration media for adsorbing oil from a fluid and subsequently blocking oil flow through the discriminative outlet. The interlocking containment units are secured to the transformer pad around a peripheral edge to restrict the migration of oil to an outside portion of said oil containment system.

STORMWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM
20220349170 · 2022-11-03 ·

The present invention discloses the stormwater source filtration system in which the treatment location is at the first point of water collection, as close to the source of contamination as possible. This provides for a modular, flexible, linear treatment system that can adapt to the existing conditions and the existing roadway profiles. Like our road systems, this is linear and can change with the roadway. This system provides for increased storage capacity immediately adjacent to the roadway. Modular and flexible construction make this system of superior cost effectiveness versus the current filtration systems used today. The ease of maintenance and ability to quickly change the filtration media as needed will reduce long term maintenance costs versus current systems. The disclosed system may be installed in both new constructions and as an enhancement/retrofit of existing systems.

Stormwater collection, treatment, and aquifer replenishment installations and methods
11629085 · 2023-04-18 ·

A stormwater collection, treatment, and aquifer replenishment installation includes a stormwater drain for receiving surface stormwater, a dry well downwardly extending underground to an outlet proximate to a water table over an aquifer, a tank structure at least partially disposed underground and coupled with the stormwater drain and the dry well in stormwater communication, a stormwater treatment system enclosed within the tank structure between the stormwater drain and the dry well for converting surface stormwater into treated stormwater, the tank structure for conducting surface stormwater to the stormwater treatment system between the stormwater drain and the dry well, and the dry well for receiving and gravity feeding treated stormwater from stormwater treatment system to the outlet.

Drain protector

A drain protector having a flexible adsorbent pad, a raised insert, and a cover is described. The pad and the insert each includes aligned apertures. The raised insert is positioned over the flexible adsorbent pad or within the aperture of the flexible adsorbent pad. The cover is connected to the flexible adsorbent pad, a raised insert, forming a space over the insert. The drain protector is made from adsorbent material for blocking sediment, collecting contaminants and filtering water into a drain. The cover of the drain protector reinforces the sheet and insert to protect against damage from traffic over the drain protector.

PROMENADE DRAIN
20230108534 · 2023-04-06 ·

A promenade drain for installation on a surface. The promenade drain including a base at least partially defining a channel and an outlet, a connector couplable to the base to form a first joint therebetween, a grate defining one or more apertures, and a frame. The frame, in turn, includes a second sliding surface configured to slide relative to a first sliding surface of the connector, and where the frame can be rotated with respect to the base without influencing the first joint.

BAG FILTER APPARATUS FOR FILTERING FLUIDS
20170348619 · 2017-12-07 ·

An apparatus for filtering fluid has a container, a platform positioned in the interior volume of the container in a location above a bottom of the container, and a bag filter extending through a hole in the platform. The bag filter has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is positioned at or above a top surface of the platform and an outlet positioned below the top surface of the platform such that a fluid passing through the fluid inlet of the container flows into the inlet of the bag filter and outwardly of the outlet of the bag filter so as to flow toward the fluid outlet of the container. A retainer plate is positioned over the platform and has an orifice opening to the inlet of the bag filter.

Modular Contaminant Filtering System For Rain Water Run-Off, Emergency Spills, and Isolated Regular Discharge Flows
20170348620 · 2017-12-07 · ·

A method for filtering one or more of run-off fluid, chemical spills and facility discharge, the method including: storing a first portion of the one or more of run-off fluid, chemical spills and facility discharge in a first compartment; discharging additional fluid from an overflow in the first compartment when a volume capacity of the first compartment is full; in a second compartment in fluid communication with the first compartment, filtering the one or more of run-off fluid, chemical spills and facility discharge stored in the first compartment that is not discharged through the overflow, and discharging filtered fluid from the second compartment.

Stormwater Filter

A stormwater filter comprising: a vessel having an inlet and an outlet; and a screen disposed within the vessel and arranged to divide at least part of the vessel into an upper section and a lower section. The stormwater filter further comprises: a flow splitter positioned adjacent the inlet of the vessel and/or a substantially vertical screen disposed adjacent the outlet in the upper section of the vessel. The flow splitter comprises an inclined leading edge and first and second deflecting surfaces extending from the leading edge. The first and second deflecting surfaces are angled relative to one another so as to direct incoming flow laterally away from an axis between the inlet and the outlet. The vertical screen comprises first and second screen portions which are angled relative to one another. The first and second screen portions are each hingedly connected to the vessel and are detachably coupled to one another at their distal ends.
