Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à la production d'un élément de construction réalisé en fibres de bois, copeaux de bois et/ou sciure, notamment un panneau. Ce procédé consiste: - à appliquer de la colle sur des fibres de bois, des copeaux de bois et/ou de la sciure, - à comprimer les fibres de bois, les copeaux de bois et/ou la sciure enrobés de colle pour former un élément de construction, notamment un panneau. Les fibres de bois, les copeaux de bois et/ou la sciure sont d'abord décomposés par cuisson en constituants solides et fluides. Avant de quitter le système étanche au gaz, les constituants fluides sont séparés et refroidis dans ce système fermé étanche au gaz. Cela permet de réduire fortement la nuisance olfactive pendant la production. L'invention concerne également un dispositif permettant de mettre en oeuvre le procédé et les composants produits selon l'invention.

Abstract: The present methods and apparatus concern the detection and/or identification of target analytes using probe molecules. In various embodiments of the invention, the probes or analytes are attached to one or more cantilevers. Binding of a probe to an analyte results in deflection of the cantilever, detected by a detection unit. A counterbalancing force may be applied to restore the cantilever to its original position. The counterbalancing force may be magnetic, electrical or radiative. The detection unit and the mechanism generating the counterbalancing force may be operably coupled to an information processing and control unit, such as a computer. The computer may regulate a feedback loop that maintains the cantilever in a fixed position by balancing the deflecting force and the counterbalancing force. The concentration of analytes in a sample may be determined from the magnitude of the counterbalancing force required to maintain the cantilever in a fixed position.
