Patent EP-1210750-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DIGONNET MICHEL J F
IPC: H04B10/2557
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: In a method of amplifying optical input signals over a wide bandwidth, the optical input signals are applied to an optical waveguide (810) made from a rare-earth-doped amorphous yttrium aluminum oxide material (e.g., erbium-doped yttrium aluminum oxide material).  The optical input signals include optical signals having wavelengths shorter than 1,520 nanometers and optical signals having wavelengths longer than 1,610 nanometers. Pump light is applied to the optical waveguide (810) to cause the waveguide to provide optical gain to the optical input signals.  The optical gain causes the optical signals to be amplified within the waveguide to provide amplified optical signals over the extended range from approximately 1,480 nanometers to approximately 1,650 nanometers, including, in particular, optical signals having wavelengths shorter than 1,520 nanometers and optical signals having wavelengths longer than 1,610 nanometers.

Abstract: Mucosal DTPa vaccines, especially intranasal vaccines, comprising (a) a diphtheria antigen, a tetanus antigen and an acellular pertussis antigen, and (b) a detoxified mutant of cholera toxin (CT) or E. coli heat labile toxin (LT). Component (b) acts as a mucosal adjuvant. The acellular pertussis antigen preferably comprises pertussis holotoxin (PT) and filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) and, optionally, pertactin. The mucosally-delivered combined DTPa formulation is capable of generating a level of protection against B. pertussis infection equivalent to that observed by alum-adjuvanted parenteral administration.

Title: Systeme d'application de poudre a changement de couleur rapide
Inventor: SHUTIC JEFFREY R
IPC: B05B15/12
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: Cette invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant d'appliquer des matériaux de revêtement en poudre au moyen de systèmes de pulvérisation électrostatique. L'invention porte par exemple sur l'alimentation par gravité du système d'alimentation au moyen d'un revêtement de poudre provenant du système de récupération. Elle porte également sur un système d'alimentation en poudre dans lequel une lance d'aspiration de la poudre n'a que deux positions de fonctionnement : une première position correspondant à l'aspiration de poudre dans une trémie fluidifiée, position correspondant également à une position de purge pour un nouveau collecteur de purge ; et une seconde position rentrée pour les changements de couleur de la poudre et l'entretien. L'invention concerne également un bloc de pompage en communication physique avec une plaque de raccordement pour tube d'aspiration, et une plaque collectrice pour tuyau flexible. Divers éléments de raccordement permettent de relier la plaque de fixation pour canalisation d'air, une plaque pour tuyau d'aspiration et la plaque collectrice pour tuyau flexible sur le bloc de pompage. L'invention concerne également des techniques permettant d'appliquer une première couleur en poudre et une seconde couleur en poudre dans une centrale d'alimentation. Ce procédé consiste notamment à remplacer le premier ensemble pompe par un second ensemble pompe qui est en communication fluidique avec un ou plusieurs dispositifs d'alimentation. Le second ensemble pompe peut être constitué par un ensemble pompe neuf, nettoyé ou utilisé pour une couleur distincte. Dans une telle configuration, la présente invention permet de réduire le temps requis pour le changement de couleur de poudre dans un système de pulvérisation électrostatique et de réduire les effets de contamination croisée dus au passage d'une couleur en poudre à une autre couleur en poudre. De même, il y a moins de surfaces de contact.
