Patent EP-1564186-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OOE HIROKAZU
IPC: C02F1/46
Filed: 2003-10-23
Abstract: An ion elution unit generates metal ions by applying a voltage between electrodes.
Terminals are formed integrally to the electrodes. The terminals protrude downward through
the bottom wall of the casing of the ion elution unit. The space between the electrodes
becomes narrower from the upstream side to the downstream side along with the water
current flowing through the inside of the casing. The casing has a water inlet and a water
outlet, the cross-sectional area of the water outlet is smaller than that of the water inlet. The
water outlet is disposed at the lowest level in the inner space of the casing. The cross-sectional
area of the inner space of the casing gradually decreases from the upstream side to the
downstream side.

Abstract: Des particules analogues à des virus sont produites principalement par recombinaison. L'expression par recombinaison de capsomères chez Escherichia coli permettant l'obtention de capsomères non assemblées qui peuvent être assemblées in vitro. Le degré d'assemblage est toutefois faible. Si les macromolécules sont liées aux capsomères, l'assemblage in vitro en particules analogues à des virus est empêché. Des complexes comportant des macromolécules ne peuvent être obtenus que par interaction des macromolécules avec des capsomère analogues à des virus déjà assemblées. Mais, dans ce cas, le degré d'encapsidation pour les macromolécules est faible. Selon l'invention, des particules analogues à des virus sont obtenues grâce un procédé de production de particules analogues à des virus par assemblage in vitro de capsomères ou assemblage de capsomères aux amino acides chargés desquelles sont liées des macromolécules biologiquement actives, avec encapsidation simultanée desdites macromolécules en présence de stabilisants non ioniques. Ces complexes constituent des vecteurs adéquats pour la thérapie génique.

Abstract: A capacitor including a plurality of layers each including a plurality of conductive plates is described. A gap separates conductive plates on a same layer. The conductive plates on a single layer assures that the total capacitance of each layer is not lost if all connections to one plate are defective. Each of the conductive plates includes a plurality of connection points or tabs to provide a redundancy of connections to each plate. The greater the number of connection points in the capacitor the lower the inductance and resistance. The gaps extend in a first direction for a first pair of layers and extend in a second direction for a second pair of layers. Systems connecting the capacitor to a die are also described. The length of the conductive material connecting the capacitor to the die is short, and the inductance and resistance of the conductive material is low.
