Patent EP-0898705-A1 (EP)
Inventor: USALA ANTON-LEWIS
IPC: B01D71/72
Filed: 1997-05-16
Abstract: An electrochemical biosensor for determining the level of a target chemical in a biological fluid includes an electrochemical system including a enzyme substrate which reacts with the target chemical to yield a system signal related to the concentration in the biological fluid of said target chemical. The biosensor includes a first membrane for immobilizing the enzyme substrate. The first membrane has a porosity permitting passage therethrough of the target chemical to react with the enzyme substrate and a surface exposed to the biological fluid characterized by electron donor site susceptible to facilitating attachment thereon of proteins and fibrin which impair the system signal. A second membrane is bonded to the electron donor sites of the first membrane. The second membrane is formed of a phenyl based polymer having connecting hydrogen atom donors which bond to the hydrogen atom donors bonding to the electron donor sites at least sufficiently to form an outer surface on the first membrane exposed to the biological fluid consisting of phenyl rings without significantly changing the porosity provided by the first membrane.

Title: Compositions et procedes d'administration d'adn de borrelia
Inventor: HUEBNER ROBERT C
IPC: C12R1/01
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à de l'ADN plasmide codant au moins un antigène d'espèce génique Borrelia et à des procédés de production et d'utilisation d'un tel plasmide. Les espèces géniques en question peuvent être burgdorferi, garinii et/ou afzelli. Ledit antigène peut être OspA et/ou OspB et/ou OspC. Les compositions contenant cet ADN plasmide peuvent être administrées à un hôte réceptif à la maladie de Lyme de manière à induire une réaction in vivo, du type réaction de protection, ou pour générer des anticorps utiles. Le plasmide de l'invention peut également être transfecté dans des cellules en vue de la génération d'antigènes in vitro. On peut préparer ce plasmide en isolant de l'ADN (tel que de l'ADN codant un promoteur, une séquence de tête, un antigène et un terminateur) et en effectuant une ou plusieurs ligature(s), par exemple une ligature trois-voies. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à l'administration d'ADN codant un antigène d'espèce génique Borrelia, par exemple, OspA et/ou OspB et/ou OspC et à des compositions administrées pour induire une réaction immunitaire dirigée contre Borrelia, telle qu'une réaction de protection à action préventive vis à vis de la maladie de Lyme. L'invention concerne par conséquent des vaccins conçus pour agir contre la maladie de Lyme ou des compositions immunologiques, ainsi que des procédés de fabrication et d'utilisation de ces vaccins.
Patent EP-0902736-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHEMEIT HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: B22D41/50
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for controlling the flow dispersion of a molten metal, in particular steel, which is conveyed from a melt container via a first immersion outlet part which has a polygonal, oval or circular cross-section, and an intermediate member through the second immersion outlet part which has an elongate cross-section, and flows into a stationary mold to produce slabs. The process is characterized by the following steps: (a) the central volume flow is reduced in the intake region of the second outlet part; (b) at the same time the angle of expansion (delta) of the fluid jet is increased to such an extent that the return flow in the lateral region of the intermediate member and the second immersion outlet part is substantially stopped; and (c) when the melt leaves the second immersion outlet part, it flows at a velocity profile with velocity vectors which are smaller in the opening center than the regions of the small faces. The device is characterized in that the region of the central axis (I) of the immersion outlet, the intermediate member (31) and/or the intake (22) of the second immersion outlet part (21) is equipped in such a a manner that the main flow of melt (S) leaving the first immersion outlet part is throttled.

Title: Method for manufacturing composite material pieces by resin transfer moulding
Inventor: BOCCARD ALEXIS
IPC: B29C70/48
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: A method is proposed for manufacturing a composite material piece of large dimensions and having a high fibre volume ratio (more than 58%) by resin transfer moulding. It consists in compacting strongly a fibrous preform (26) placed in a mould (20), while injecting the resin at a constant preset flow rate, as long as the instantaneous pressure at the inlet of the mould is less than a preset pressure. When this preset pressure is reached, the flow rate is reduced to maintain the pressure at this level, and compacting of the preform (26) is temporarily reduced. The injection flow rate is then brought back to the constant preset flow rate and compacting is increased to start a new cycle.

Inventor: NAKAZATO TOMOMI
IPC: B23Q15/013
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A superimposing control method using a numerical control device,
capable of starting and terminating a superimposing control even during
movement, without the need of waiting for the adjustment of timing and
without rapid acceleration or deceleration. In response to a
superimposition command, a motion value distributed to a Z axis of a
superimposing axis in a reference system is subjected to
acceleration/deceleration processing by an acceleration/deceleration
processing section separately provided for superimposition, and the
obtained movement value is added to a motion command value for a Z
axis of a superimposed axis in a superimposing system. When a
superimposition termination command is issued, the motion command
value remained in the acceleration/deceleration processing section for
superimposition is superimposed on the motion command value for the Z
axis of the superimposing system. The superimposition can be smoothly
started and terminated without the need to stop the two control systems.

Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: Il est possible d'employer des polymères 'tridimensionnels' de taille très réduite à une synthèse. Ces polymères, qui constituent des moyens simples d'isolement, évitent d'avoir recours à des traitements conclusifs faisant suite aux réactions et permettent d'effectuer une caractérisation précédant un traitement conclusif; ils garantissent également des rendements élevés et peuvent être réutilisés. Il est également important de remarquer que ces polymères constituent un moyen mieux adapté à la réalisation d'une synthèse combinatoire plus efficace de petites molécules. L'efficacité est accrue, s'agissant de la production de molécules et de criblages relatifs à leurs propriétés physiques/biologiques.
