Title: Light trap
Inventor: LASSALLE MARTINE
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: The light trap, designed for a parallel light beam (2), comprises a cylindrical chamber (1A) with a side wall (3) which has an absorbent inner surface (4), and an inlet member (5) at one end of the chamber with inner (7) and outer (8) surfaces and a truncated conical aperture (9) between them. The aperture is located coaxially with the chamber and a conical body (12) located inside it and fixed to its base (10). The truncated conical aperture (9) converges from the outer face of the inlet member to its inner face, and its diameter on the outer face is equal to the diameter (D) of the light beam (2). The thickness (E) of the inlet member is determined from the equation E = D/(tg2A + tgA), where A is half the angle of the aperture. The inner conical body (12) is coated with a material which reflects light equally in all directions, e.g. barium sulphate with visible light and gold for infrared light. In addition, the outer wall is designed to dissipate heat, and is made from copper.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés pour inhiber le rejet de cellules transplantées chez un patient receveur allogène ou xénogène. Ces procédés consistent à modifier au moins un antigène à la surface d'une cellule de donneur préalablement à la transplantation de façon à réduire l'immunogénicité de la cellule chez un patient receveur. On modifie de préférence un antigène MHC de classe I situé sur la cellule donneur, en mettant la cellule en contact avec un molécule qui se lie à l'antigène, tel qu'un anticorps, l'un de ses fragments ou l'un de ses dérivés. Il est ainsi possible de transplanter la cellule modifiée dans un sujet receveur de façon à inhiber le phénomène de rejet induit par des cellules immunitaires, notamment les lymphocytes T, les cellules NK et/ou les cellules LAK.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une méthode de sélection génétique basée sur la cytotoxicité (TOXSEL) et son matériel d'expérimentation destinés à l'identification et la sélection positive de molécules ou de mutations à même d'interrompre une interaction inter-protéique spécifique. L'invention permet la sélection positive de molécules qui interrompent les interactions inter-protéiques spécifiques grâce à la présence dans le système TOXSEL d'un gène reporter de toxine. Une interaction interprotéique interrompue empêche l'expression du gène reporter de toxine et, par conséquent, permet d'assurer la survie de la cellule hôte. La technologie TOXSEL permet le criblage à grande échelle de médicaments ou de petites molécules à même d'interrompre des interactions inter-protéiques spécifiques indispensables aux processus de signalisation cellulaire, de carcinogenèse, etc. La sélection positive de molécules ou de mutations à même de faire obstacle aux interactions inter-protéiques spécifiques permet d'identifier des restes ou des motifs structuraux d'acides aminés et de concevoir des médicaments à des fins thérapeutiques ou diagnostiques.

Date Jun. 19, 1997In prior art designs, single-flight cast double worms with angles of contact >720 DEG  with large balance hollows at both ends and worm lengths of whole multiples of the pitch operate in the medium rotation speed ranges ( DIFFERENCE 3000 min DIFFERENCE 1) without imbalance. The desired use of special uncastable materials and the manufacturing complexity and the necessary dimensional stability even for extreme profile geometries pose additional problems in balancing which are solved by the present invention. Here, it is possible, by varying the angle of contact of the worm and any balance hollows and/or by altering the contour of the worms in the medium engagement region, to reduce the size of the balance hollows, sometimes to "zero", and with the possible use of additional masses. Besides the advantage of simple raw component manufacture, worms balanced in this way also permit the use of special materials and extreme worm geometries for fitting in pumps used in the chemical, medical and food sectors.

Date Jan. 16, 1997The invention concerns an in vitro test procedure for the detection of chemically induced effects on embryonic development and for differentiation for the purpose of embryotoxicity/teratogenicity screening based on differentiated pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells from mice and rats using embryonic germ (EG) cells obtained from primoridial germ cells. The proposed test procedure is characterised in that stable transgenic ES or EG cell clones containing tissue-specific promoters and reporter genes are selected, differentiation-dependent expression of tissue-specific genes is carried out following differentiation of ES cells in the presence of embryotoxic substances acting at specific times into different germination path derivatives; this is followed by detection of chemically induced activation, repression or modulation of tissue-specific genes which regulate embryonic development.

In another embodiment a recorder message command (TAG/CMD) is coupled to the decoder (100, 510) to access recorder specific graphical messages. In yet a further embodiment, recorder message data (221) is tagged and coupled to the decoder (100, 510) to select recorder specific graphical messages if available or to display recorder (200) message data. In yet another embodiment, digital or analog operating mode determines recorder message display position and timing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la préparation de corps céramiques utilisant une combinaison de techniques de réalisation de structures minces et des techniques d'oxydation de métaux. Plus précisément, la forme mince de l'invention comprend au moins un métal de base, au moins un type de fibres organiques ou minérales et, éventuellement, au moins une charge minérale. La forme mince peut alors être infiltrée avec un liquide ou une composition fusible telle qu'un polyuréosilazane, pour augmenter la flexibilité et l'aptitude au formage de la forme mince. La forme mince peut alors être formée ou configurée, soit individuellement, soit en empilements, et rendue rigide pour former, par exemple, une structure autoportante. La forme mince peut alors être chauffée à une température supérieure au point de fusion du métal de base pour faire réagir le métal de base fondu in situ avec un oxydant et obtenir un produit de réaction d'oxydation, qui comporte des liaisons tridimensionnelles au moins partielles. On réalise ainsi un corps céramique mince de la forme ou de la configuration souhaitée.

IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1996-11-01
Abstract: L'analyse des conformations polymorphiques à double brin peut se faire par combinaison d'une sonde comprenant un agent de réticulation, et éventuellement un marqueur, avec un échantillon présentant une séquence cible complémentaire de la séquence de la sonde ou présentant un ou quelques mésappariements avec elle. Après un temps suffisant pour permettre l'hybridation, dans des conditions douces ou peu rigoureuses, les paires hybridées sont irradiées pour entraîner la formation de réticulations par l'agent réticulant. L'échantillon est alors analysé par électrophorèse sur gel dénaturant, le taux de migration dépendant du degré de complémentarité entre la sonde et la cible. Dans une deuxième expérience corroborante, la sonde peut être combinée à l'échantillon dans des conditions très rigoureuses où il se trouve que la formation de sondes/cibles réticulées est sensiblement moindre pour les paires mésappariées que pour les paires parfaitement appariées. Après réticulation, les échantillons peuvent être séparés par électrophorèse sur gel pour permettre d'évaluer la quantité d'acide nucléique réticulé.
