Patent EP-2267186-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIDSON NIGEL
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 2005-04-29
Abstract: A sacrificial anode assembly for cathodically protecting and/or passivating a metal section, comprising: (a) a cell, which has an anode and a cathode arranged so as to not be in electronic contact with each other but so as to be in ionic contact with each other such that current can flow between the anode and the cathode; (b) a connector attached to the anode of the cell for electrically connecting the anode to the metal section to be cathodically protected; and (c) a sacrificial anode electrically connected in series with the cathode of the cell; wherein the cell is otherwise isolated from the environment such that current can only flow into and out of the cell via the sacrificial anode and the connector. The invention also provides a method of cathodically protecting metal in which such a sacrificial anode assembly is cathodically attached to the metal via the connector of the assembly, and a reinforced concrete structure wherein some or all of the reinforcement is cathodically protected by such a method.
Patent EP-2259107-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NODA SUSUMU
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: The present invention has been devised to provide a two-dimensional photonic crystal optical resonator and optical reflector having high light-extracting efficiency. This is achieved by the following construction. A two-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of a slab-shaped body 11 is created by periodically arranging areas (or holes) 12 having a refractive index different from that of the body 11. A waveguide 13 is formed by providing a linear zone where no hole 12 is bored. Two acceptor type point defects 14 are formed by enlarging two holes 12 spaced apart from each other by a distance L in the longitudinal direction of the waveguide. In this construction, an appropriate selection of the distance L suppresses the reflection and transmission of light at the point defects 14, allowing an efficient extraction of light resonating at the point defects 14. An appropriate selection of the distance L will increase the reflectivity of light at the point defects 14. This allows the body 11 to be used as an optical resonator for producing a resonance of light between the two point defects 14 or an optical reflector for reflecting light at the two point defects 14.

Title: Appareil guide de lumière
Inventor: CORNELISSEN HUGO JOHAN
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 2010-04-16
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil guide de lumière à base de grilles de diffraction. L'appareil comprend une plaque guide de lumière (11) comprenant une première grille de diffraction (13) située sur une première surface de la plaque guide de lumière (11) ou à l'intérieur de celle-ci ; et une première source lumineuse (12) couplée à un premier côté de la plaque guide de lumière (11). La première grille de diffraction (13) est configurée pour extraire la lumière générée par la première source lumineuse (12) de la première surface de la plaque guide de lumière (11). Etant donné que la première grille de diffraction (13) est invisiblement petite, les utilisateurs remarqueront difficilement un quelconque changement du guide de lumière (11). Lorsque l'appareil guide de lumière selon la présente invention est utilisé comme lecteur de livre, la zone sombre produite en soulevant le lecteur de livre dans une direction opposée aux objets à lire est plus petite que celle de l'appareil guide de lumière existant à base de microstructures, étant donné que l'angle de sortie de la lumière est relativement petit lors de l'utilisation d'une grille de diffraction.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for preparing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid from high molecular weight hyaluronic acid which is produced by  Streptococcus  sp. ID9102 (KCTC11395BP). More specifically, the invention is related to a method of reducing the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid uniformly by reacting high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with an activated carbon in certain decomposition condition while maintaining original propertied of its own. The method of the invention for lowering a molecular weight of high molecular hyaluronic acid has a convenient process without the inconvenience of reprocessing for the removal of input materials, or requiring pH treatment, various reaction catalysts, and complicated additional treatment conditions (such as heat treatment) as in a conventional method. Furthermore, the method has an effect for removing impurities. Thus, through the method, it is possible to conveniently and economically produce low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with high purity. The inventive method for lowering the molecular weight has an advantage in that according to a change of a reaction condition using activated carbon, the molecular weight of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can be variously adjusted. The low molecular weight hyaluronic acid produced by the method of the invention can be produced in accordance with the standards of medical supplies while the hyaluronic acid's own characteristic can be maintained. Also, it can be produced in accordance with the standards of cosmetics or foods.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a linear compressor including: a hermetic container which defines a sealed space where a refrigerant flows in and out and which has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe; a cylinder provided in the hermetic container and having a compression space therein; a piston linearly reciprocated in the cylinder and compressing the refrigerant of the compression space; a linear motor supplying a driving force to the piston and operating the piston at a set operating frequency; a plurality of support springs elastically supporting an assembly composed of the cylinder, the piston and the linear motor on the bottom surface of the hermetic container; and a loop pipe provided to guide the refrigerant compressed in the compression space to the outlet pipe. As the exciting force exerted on the hermetic container by the loop pipe has an opposite phase to the exciting force exerted on the hermetic container by the support springs, vibration of the assembly can be offset by vibration of the loop pipe through the phase shift, and thus the overall vibration can be reduced.
