Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire des populations sélectionnées de lymphocytes. Les lymphocytes produits peuvent être isolés et purifiés par des techniques connues et établies, de façon à constituer une source stable de lymphocytes, qu'une personne versée en la matière peut modifier afin d'obtenir un type approprié ou un taux optimal de lymphocytes désirés. Ces populations cellulaires permettent de reconstituer totalement la population épuisée, déficiente ou manquante chez un patient, et, de plus, elles sont suffisamment souples pour donner la quantité de cellules nécessaire à des traitements multiples ou cycliques. Ces procédés permettant d'augmenter les populations cellulaires peuvent être largement utilisés pour accroître sélectivement la quantité de plusieurs types de lymphocytes, sans modifier, comme cela a été prouvé, leur phénotype et leur spécificité antigénique.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un réactif inorganique ou des réactifs sont localisés par rapport à un polymère dendritique par contrainte physique dans ledit polymère dendritique ou par une conjugaison non covalente audit polymère dendritique. Le réactif inorganique localisé ou les réactifs sont ensuite transformés sous forme d'un produit de réaction immobilisé par rapport au polymère dendritique. L'immobilisation se produit à une échelle nanoscopique comme résultat des effets combinés des changements physiques, chimiques et structuraux sans liaison covalente entre le ou les produit(s) et le contenant dendritique et aboutit à de nouvelles compositions de matières appelées nanocomposites dendritiques. Le matériau nanocomposite obtenu peut être utilisé pour produire des produits révolutionnaires tels que des métaux élémentaires solubles dans l'eau trouvant des applications spécifiques telles que l'imagerie par résonance magnétique et des applications à des fins électroactives, photolytiques, optiques, magnétiques et catalytiques.

Title: Fluid-activatable shut-off device
Inventor: EIELSEN JAN INGE
IPC: F16K15/03
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A fluid-activatable shut-off device, configured as a shut-off valve, has a valve housing formed with a flow passage therethrough and a movably supported valve body, which is movable between an open valve position and a closed valve position. In the open valve position, the valve body is mainly withdrawn from the flow passage, which is thereby essentially cleared. In the closed valve position, the valve body blocks the flow passage. The valve body is arranged to close the valve by abnormal flow conditions by a portion being formed so that the flowing fluid provides a lifting force which affects the valve body and seeks to move it towards the closed position. The valve body may thereby close by an abnormal increase in the fluid flow rate, density or viscosity. The portion may also be supported by an expansion pad arranged to push the lifting surface further into the flow passage as a consequence of changes in the fluid pressure and/or temperature, thereby providing increased lift so that the valve body closes. The valve portion is equipped with plugs for sequentially shutting off the choke channels to the flow of hydraulic/pneumatic fluid between the chambers to thereby control the closing speed of the valve body so that surges is avoided in the pipe system in which the valve is installed.

Abstract: A displacement pump (11) for a relatively high pressure performance
environment includes a casing with first (14) and second (16) ends, with
rotors (18,20) driven in the casing to effect pumping. Flushing fluid
(such as sealing water or substantially fiber-free foam) is introduced
into a clearance (30) between the rotors and the interior surface of the
second end (16) of the casing to keep the clearance substantially free
of undesirable particles or fibers, typically fibers (such as glass
fibers) having greater abrasiveness than cellulose fibers, or fibers
(such as synthetic fibers, or synthetic material coating cellulose
fibers) having poorer heat resistance than cellulose fibers. The
flushing fluid may be introduced into the clearance in a number of
different ways as long the clearance is kept substantially free of the
undesirable particles or fibers. The flushing fluid is introduced,
preferably through a check valve, at a pressure at least slightly higher
than the output pressure of the pump.
