Abstract: A stabilized emulsion is employed to produce shelf stable, controlled release, discrete, solid particles or pellets which contain an encapsulated and/or embedded component, such as a readily oxidizable component, such as omega-3 fatty acids. An oil encapsulant component which contains an active, sensitive encapsulant, dissolved and/or dispersed in an oil is admixed with an aqueous component and a film-forming component to form an emulsion. An antioxidant for prevention of oxidation of the active, sensitive encapsulant, and a film-softening component or plasticizer for the film-forming component may be included in the emulsion. The emulsion is stabilized by subjecting it to homogenization. The pellets are produced by first reducing the water content of the stabilized emulsion so that the film-forming component forms a film around the oil droplets and encapsulates the encapsulant. In embodiments of the invention, the water content of the homogenized emulsion may be reduced by spray-drying to produce a powder. In other embodiments of the invention, after homogenization, the water content of the emulsion may be reduced by admixing the emulsion with at least one matrix material to thereby encapsulate the film-coated oil droplets within the matrix material. After the water content of the emulsion is reduced, a protective coating is applied on the film-coated oil droplets to obtain pellets.

Abstract: An interlace transceiver power management method and apparatus reduces power consumption when interface conditions will support a transceiver having reduced complexity. Characteristics of the receiver and/or transmitter are adjusted in conformity with one or more selection signals. An interface quality measurement circuit may provide the selection signal, so that the transceiver complexity is adjusted in response to measured interface conditions or an external pin or register bit may be coupled to a select input. The receiver complexity adjustment may include the receiver sampling depth, window width, resolution or equalization complexity or other characteristic having an impact on receiver circuit power consumption. The transmitter complexity may be equalization, transmitter power or other characteristic having an impact on transmitter circuit power consumption. The select signal may be communicated from one transceiver to another, so that the power consumption at a remote location is determined by local measurement or programming.

Granted: 2008-05-07
Abstract: An energy dissipation device for dissipating unwanted energy associated with a shock or impact force is provided. The device comprises a block (2) of relatively rigid material, a passageway in the block (2), the passageway having an angled portion of substantially constant cross-sectional shape and area, a plug (5) of relatively deformable material in the passageway and an impact receptor (6) of relatively rigid material. The arrangement is such that, when a force is applied to the impact receptor (6), the impact receptor moves at least partially into the passageway and impacts upon the plug (5) to cause the plug to be driven around the angled portion of the passageway. The passageway in the block (2) may alternatively have the form of a cavity. A method of dissipating energy is also provided comprising providing a block (2) of relatively rigid resilient material containing a passageway, the passageway having an angled portion and driving a plug (5) of relatively deformable material around the angled portion of the passageway.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions immunogènes et pharmaceutiques utilisées pour traiter et prévenir des cancers associés au papillomavirus humain (HPV) et en particulier le cancer du col de l'utérus. Cette invention se rapporte en particulier à des protéines de fusion employées pour générer des réponses immunitaires dirigées contre le HPV, ainsi qu'aux acides nucléiques codant ces protéines de fusion. La présente invention concerne de manière spécifique la fusion des protéines E6 et E7 du HPV, E6 et/ou E7 comportant une ou plusieurs mutations. Ces mutations suppriment l'activité transformationnelle des protéines oncogènes et ainsi rendent les fusions E6/E7 inoffensives. En outre, ces fusions permettent de conserver et d'accroître l'efficacité immunogène de E6 et E7. Un quelconque procédé d'administration génique ou protéique peut être employé pour administrer ou conditionner lesdites compositions immunogènes.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un convertisseur continu-continu, qui réduit une surtension générée aux bornes d'un élément de commutation (30), la conversion de tension faisant appel à un transformateur (20) ayant une fuite inhérente importante. Un circuit de protection absorbe l'énergie excessive et la transfère à une charge, ou à une extrémité de sortie du convertisseur, ce qui réduit la surtension aux bornes de l'élément de commutation (30). Un condensateur de protection (51) absorbe l'énergie excessive générée par le transformateur (20) lorsque l'élément de commutation (30) est hors tension. Ainsi, l'énergie absorbée est recueillie dans un condensateur de stockage (53) après être passée à travers un réacteur (54) tandis que l'élément de commutation (30) est sous tension et hors tension, puis est transférée du condensateur de stockage (53) à la charge, autrement dit au côté de sortie du convertisseur, ce qui permet de n'appliquer qu'une tension minimale aux bornes de l'élément de commutation (30).
