Patent EP-1015633-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MEDELYS LABORATORIES INC
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à la mise au point d'une série de kits de détermination de la clonalité des lymphocytes B et T. Les données exposées dans cette demande montrent l'importance des kits de détermination de la clonalité des lymphocytes B et T dans le diagnostic précoce et le diagnostic différentiel de la sclérose en plaques, le lymphome primaire du système nerveux central et autres troubles neurologiques. En comparaison avec des technologies actuelles de diagnostic (cytologie, bandes oligoclonales, tomodensitomètre, imagerie par résonance magnétique et biopsie chirurgicale), la technologie de l'invention s'avère être positive comme technique très sensible, spécifique, non invasive et économique, et peut être appliquée à différents échantillons (cellules du fluide cérébrospinal, biopsie chirurgicale et autopsie). L'utilisation de cette technologie dans l'étude de la sclérose en plaques a montré que le clonage des lymphocytes B s'étend principalement chez les patients atteints de sclérose en plaques, ces lymphocytes ayant subi une mutation somatique induite par un antigène dans les centres germinaux des tissus lymphoïdes périphériques. On a ainsi découvert un important mécanisme pathogène dans l'évolution de la démyélinisation dans le système nerveux central du patient atteint de sclérose en plaques. De plus, cette technologie permet d'établir une banque d'ARN spécifique clonale à partir des cellules pathogènes du système nerveux central des patients, ce qui est important pour comprendre ensuite le rôle du ou des antigènes dans le déclenchement de l'extension clonale des lymphocytes B, et vis à vis du développement de la stratégie thérapeutique spécifique de l'antigène.

Title: Thermoelectric cooling apparatus with dynamic switching to isolate heat transport mechanisms
Inventor: GHOSHAL UTTAM SHYAMALINDU
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: Apparatus and method for sub-ambient cooling using thermoelectric element dynamics in conjunction with pulsed electrical power and selectively enabled thermal coupling to the cold sink. In one form, Peltier devices (1) are dynamically enabled using pulses of electrical power while the thermal path between the cold side of the Peltier device (1) and the cold sink (4) is selectively switched in relative synchronism between conductive states responsive to the dynamics of the Peltier device temperatures. Switched coupling of the thermal connection between the cold sink (4) and the Peltier device materially improves efficiency by decoupling Joule heating and conductive heat transfer losses otherwise conveyed from the Peltier device. Preferable implementations utilize MEMS to accomplish the selective thermal switching, whereby sub-ambient cooling capacity is increased by parallel operation of multiple Peltier devices and MEMS switches.

IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for guiding bands in a suspended manner and for stabilizing bands, preferably wide metal bands, for the purpose of heat treating the same. In the device, the band is blown on both sides with the aid of suspended nozzle sections, and two respective radial ventilators with 360° spiral casings are arranged on the side walls of the device in the vicinity of both sides of the band. The intake openings of the radial ventilators point toward the middle of the device. The axes of the radial ventilators are vertical in relation to the side walls, and the radial ventilators are arranged in such a way that they deliver air into air delivery channels (6) of the length of at least one hydraulic diameter in a manner parallel to the longitudinal direction of the device, that is, in a direction of movement of the band. The air delivery channels (6) are adjacent to the upper casing (8) or the lower casing of the device via a side wall. Elbows are respectively connected to the air delivery channels (6). The volume stream delivered from said elbows by the radial ventilator enters a collecting receptacle which extends as at least one piece over the entire length of the device and which is provided with the nozzle section on the side facing the band, said nozzle field being approximately equal in width to that of the collecting receptacle. The gas stream blown on the band predominantly flows away and up to the longitudinal sides of the device and enters from the sides of the device into the suction area between the radial ventilators above and below the band (1).
