A method for degrading, detackifying and reducing solvent in water comprising organic solvent-laden water-borne paint that comprises adding to the water an effective degrading, detackifying andor solvent-reducing amount of at least one microorganism culture and sufficient micronutrients to sustain the growth of the at least one microorgansim culture and to reduce solvent content of the water. The bag includes a plurality of regularly spaced perforations for eliminating trapped and excess moisture trapped during the filling of the bag with the scallops, and further formed with at least one vent hole larger than said perforations near the base of the bag to relieve back air pressure during the loading process. The power-receiving device includes a receive coil and a receive resonance adjuster for receiving the near-field electromagnetic radiation when the receive coil is within a coupling region of the transmit coil. The insert is disposed inside the first half body to be along the face surface and includes one selected from a group consisting of a synthetic resin and a rubber. Also described are compact switching devices of high port count including coaxial arrays of input and output switch columns interconnected according to a double-crossbar architecture.
