Methods and systems are provided for optimizing collection, usage, and processing of water on-board a vehicle. Water is harvested from various locations of the vehicle including from engine operation, surface condensation, and via dehumidification. Water is processed differently based on the source of the water as well as the intended use.

A cooking fume treatment system for cooking machines comprises a sealed cooking cavity (A100), cooking equipment (A101) and a first cooking fume treatment device (A200), the cooking equipment (A101) is arranged in the sealed cooking cavity (A100); the first cooking fume treatment device (A200) is provided with a first fume inlet (A201) and a first fume outlet (A202), the first fume inlet (A201) is communicated with the cooking equipment (A101), and the first fume outlet (A202) is communicated with the external of the sealed cooking cavity (A100). By arranging the sealed cooking cavity (A100), cooking fume generated by the cooking machine is sealed in the sealed cooking cavity, and the cooking fume can be discharged into the environment only after being treated by the first cooking fume treatment device (A200), so that the influence of the cooking fume of the cooking machine on the environment is reduced.

An apparatus for processing a biological sample for optical analysis having a cartridge with a sample supply container and a couvette, a cartridge/magazine holding the cartridge, and a cassette fan positioned over the cartridge. A filter cassette is mounted within the cassette fan, wherein the filter cassette has an inlet for receiving a sample from the sample supply container, an outlet for discharging the filter sample into the couvette, and valves therein to manipulate the sample for filtering. A cassette clamp is positioned over the filter cassette to secure the cassette and operate the filter cassette. A method for implementing this apparatus is also described herein. Additionally an apparatus is used for and a method measures waste fluid that passes over a filter element to control the amount of rinse fluid passing over the filter element.
