Abstract: On décrit des procédés et des compositions qui permettent d'induire une tolérance immunitaire dans des cellules de présentation d'antigène de mammifère telles que des cellules dendritiques, des macrophages, des monocytes et des lymphocytes B. Ces procédés et ces compostions impliquent l'utilisation d'agonistes des récepteurs de surface cellulaire CD36, CD51, des récepteurs de thrombospondine et/ou des Bêta intégrines qui, une fois exposés à une cellule présentant l'antigène telle qu'une cellule dendritique sont capables d'inhiber la maturation dans ces derniers. Par conséquent l'aptitude des cellules à favoriser la réponse immunitaire est inhibée. La tolérance à un antigène spécifique peut être induite dans des cellules présentant l'antigène au moyen de l'exposition à un ou plusieurs agonistes précités et à l'antigène. Des préparations de cellules peuvent ainsi être préparées pour être administrées à des humains chez qui la tolérance à un ou plusieurs antigènes spécifiques doit être induite, par exemple en cas de transplants d'allogreffes ou de xénogreffes ou en cas de maladie auto-immune.

Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: This invention provides a method of reducing the concentration of at least one electrically charged compound present in aqueous feedstock ( 5 ), such as water and waste water. The feedstock to be treated is continuously supplied to one surface of a selectively permeable, electrically charged membrane ( 2 ) contained within a module ( 1 ). Simultaneously an aqueous reaction medium, containing an active microbial culture, contacts with the opposite face of the membrane ( 2 ). The microbial culture, fed with selected nutrients and salts, is capable to convert at least one electrically charged compound, after it permeates through the wall of the membrane ( 2 ) to by-products. The membrane is substantially impermeable to electrically uncharged compounds. The ion-exchange properties of the membrane allow avoiding secondary pollution of the treated water by metabolic by-products and residual nutrients from the reaction medium. The membrane separates physically the polluted water stream ( 5 ) from the reaction medium, which assures that the treated water ( 6 ) does never directly contact with the microbial culture.

Abstract: A solid state image sensor comprises an array of
pixels and a corresponding array of microlenses. The
positions of the microlenses relative to their
corresponding pixels vary according to the distances
of the pixels from a central optical axis of the
image sensor, so as to substantially eliminate
vignetting of light collected by the microlenses. The
array of microlenses is divided into blocks each
comprising a plurality of microlenses. Within a
particular block of microlenses, the positions of the
microlenses relative to their corresponding pixels
are varied by an equal amount. The microlenses within
each of said blocks may be substantially equally
spaced apart by a first distance and adjacent blocks
of microlenses may be spaced apart by a second
distance which is less than said first distance.
Alternatively, the microlenses may be substantially
equally spaced throughout said array of microlenses
and selected microlenses at the edges of said blocks
may be made smaller in at least one direction than
the remainder of the microlenses of said blocks. The
blocks may be rectangular or may have irregular edges
configured such that said blocks are tessellated to
form a substantially continuous array of microlenses.
The pixel array and the light sensitive parts of the
individual pixels preferably have substantially equal
aspect ratios.

Abstract: In a self-igniting possible range, both intake and
exhaust valves (6),(7) are placed in a closure condition for
a period from the end of an exhaust stroke and the beginning
of an intake stroke for establishing a negative overlap
period in which a residual gas is pressurized to increase
its temperature, thus raising the air-fuel mixture
temperature in a combustion chamber (3) up to a compression
ignition possible temperature. In addition, when a crank
angle reaches a predetermined crank angle in the first half
of an intake stroke, a fuel is injected from an in-cylinder
injector (11) into the combustion chamber (3). This fuel
injected becomes a premixed air-fuel because of being
evaporated by the gas temperature in the combustion chamber
(3), and on shifting to a compression stroke afterwards, the
temperature in the combustion chamber (3) reaches the
compression ignition possible temperature.
