Patent EP-1012930-A1 (EP)
Title: Fibre amplification device for an optical system
Inventor: HEITMANN WALTER
IPC: H01S3/102
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a fibre amplification device for an optical system, preferably an optical data transmission system, comprising a light amplification fibre which is doped with at least rare earth metal ions. The invention is characterised in that at least one part of the light amplification fibre (3) is placed in the magnetic field of a magnetic device (5.1, 5.2). The emission-absorption lines of the rare earth metals split in the exterior magnetic field into several lines, which is known as the Zeeman effect. This line split corresponds to a widening of the energy levels and thus to a widening of the amplification bandwidth.

Title: Non-identical genes and their application in improved molecular adjuvants
Inventor: COX VIVIENNE FRANCES
IPC: C12N15/62
Filed: 1998-12-30
Abstract: The invention provides a linear concatamer of at least two non-identical DNA sequences which, by virtue of third base redundancy of the genetic code of the codons, each encode the same polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids; wherein the concatamer comprises or consists of a nucleic acid sequence which codes for an oligomer of said polypeptides in a continous reading frame. A single invariant cysteine codon may be added to one DNA sequence to encode a polypeptide derivative with a unique unpaired cysteine. The concatamer may be fused to one or more sequences encoding one or more antigens. The DNA sequences in the concatamer may encode the compliment C3 fragment C3d or an analogue thereof. The invention also provides an expression vector comprising the concatamer nucleic acid sequence and regulatory or other sequences for expression of any oligomeric polypeptide encoded thereby, as well as a host cell comprising the expression vector. The invention can also provide a method of inducing an immune response to an antigen in the human or animal by administering a concatamer or administering a vector. Thus the invention can provide a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a DNA vaccine.

L'écran principal (26) possède une surface centrale (30), des parois latérales verticales (28) et plusieurs orifices (32). On ajoute au liquide (44) des fibres de renforcement (42) pour former une suspension (45). On fait remonter l'écran principal (26) à travers le liquide (45) à un niveau se trouvant sous la partie supérieure de la suspension (45); les fibres de renforcement (42) se déposent alors sur l'écran principal (26). Un écran de rétention (34) est inséré dans la suspension (45) de manière à ce que les fibres de renforcement (42) soient prises en sandwich entre l'écran principal (26) et l'écran de rétention (34). On retire du réservoir (36) l'écran principal (26) tout comme l'écran de rétention (34) en formant ainsi une préforme (12), de manière efficace et avec un minimum de déformations. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un dispositif de commande (86) de la zone de formation de bulles sert à mélanger la suspension (45). Le réservoir (36) est divisé en parties, ou zones, séparées (88) qui servent à contrôler l'alimentation en fluide (44) de chaque zone de formation de bulles (88). On peut utiliser le dispositif de commande (86) de la zone de formation de bulles pour déclencher ou pour réduire un tourbillon dans la suspension (45) a mesure que l'on retire l'écran (26) du réservoir (36).
