Abstract: This invention provides a device or method for measuring vibration with high
sensitivity and over a wide bandwidth. 
     A curved section 20 is formed in an optical fiber 2. The curved section 20
is disposed on a place to be measured. Light is input in the optical fiber
2, and then variation of frequency between the input light and the output
light is detected. 
     Infinitesimal vibration applied to the curved section 20 can be measured as
variation of frequency between the input light and the output light.
Further, it is possible to measure vibration over a wide bandwidth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the transformation
of C4 plants. It also relates to the high-level expression
of foreign genes in C4 plants. More specifically, the
present invention relates to the creation of C4 plants
retaining an excellent photosynthetic capacity at low
temperature by achieving high-level expression of an enzyme
constituting the C4 photosynthetic pathway. 
     In the present invention, C4 plants are transformed
using an expression cassette that comprises a promoter, a
C4 plant genomic gene, under control of said promoter,
encoding an enzyme constituting a photosynthetic pathway,
and a terminator. The C4 plant genomic gene encoding an
enzyme constituting a photosynthetic pathway is preferably
a C4 plant genome-derived PPDK gene or a modified form
thereof. 
     The present invention is particularly useful in
improving the production of C4 plants having PPDK
(especially, in improving the production of maize under low
temperature conditions).

Abstract: Les systèmes de ressorts inférieurs de matelas et similaires sont habituellement pourvus de baguettes (10) logées à leurs extrémités opposées sur un cadre au moyens d'éléments paliers élastiques (12). Par ailleurs, les propriétés élastiques des éléments paliers (12) sont généralement adaptées à l'utilisateur, ce qui se révèle cependant insuffisant pour des malades. Le système de ressorts inférieurs selon l'invention est conçu de manière qu'au moins des lattes individuelles (10) peuvent être levées et abaissées individuellement au niveau de leurs éléments paliers (12). Ainsi, le système de ressorts inférieurs selon l'invention peut décrire tous types de mouvements transmis à l'utilisateur par l'intermédiaire du matelas. Lesdits mouvements du matelas permettent notamment de mettre en oeuvre une prophylaxie ou un traitement de décubitus. Par ailleurs, lesdits mouvements peuvent servir à stimuler des malades souffrant de facteurs pathogènes précis, notamment les malades dont la mobilité est réduite et qui souffrent par conséquent d'un manque de stimulation. Le système de ressorts inférieurs selon l'invention peut également servir à la thérapie de la douleur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de séparation du xylose à partir de lignocelluloses riches en xylanes, en particulier à partir du bois, en vue d'obtenir de la cellulose, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes : (1) prétraitement de copeaux hachés par fragmentation mécanique de la structure d'origine, (2) imprégnation, par un acide minéral dilué, du matériau de bois obtenu, (3) pré-hydrolyse du matériau modifié obtenu sous l'action de la vapeur d'eau, à température élevée, en vue d'hydrolyser les hémicelluloses contenues dans ce matériau, et (4) élimination des hémicelluloses de la cellulose restante par lavage, filtration et/ou centrifugation, avec obtention d'une solution aqueuse riche en xylose. Par combinaison des étapes précitées selon l'invention, on obtient des teneurs élevées en cellulose α, pour de très faibles fractions de xylose, c'est-à-dire des qualités de cellulose chimique de haute pureté, tout en ayant en même temps une séparation quasi quantitative du xylose de qualité.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une surface comportant un matériau infecté par les prions peut être nettoyée au moyen d'une solution de nettoyage alcaline, de sorte à éliminer autant de matériau protéinique que possible de cette surface. Cet agent de nettoyage est un agent de nettoyage alcalin qui attaque les prions se trouvant sur la surface, ainsi que les prions retirés de cette surface pendant l'étape de nettoyage. Après drainage de ladite solution de nettoyage, une solution de tensioactifs, de tampons et d'inhibiteurs de corrosion exempts de métaux lourds est acheminée sur la surface, à une température comprise entre 50 et 60 °C. Les tensioactifs dispersent et séparent le matériau contaminé par les prions. Un oxydant fort, de préférence de l'acide péracétique, est ajouté à la solution pour amener la concentration d'acide péracétique entre 1000 et 2500 ppm. L'acide péracétique ou un autre oxydant fort attaque les prions, en particulier les souches de prions séparées, ce qui désactive les prions. Après rinçage et séchage, la surface peut être enveloppée dans une barrière imperméable aux microbes et soumise à une stérilisation finale, telle qu'une stérilisation en autoclave à la vapeur.
