| 20120103669 | METAL TRANSPARENT CONDUCTORS WITH LOW SHEET RESISTANCE - The present invention relates to a transparent electrode comprising an ultra thin metal conductor ( | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110194172 | OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR WITH OPTIMIZED OUTPUT COUPLING - An optical parametric oscillator including a nonlinear crystal pumped by a laser source and an optical resonator, including an optical interferometer, which determines a level of output coupling of the oscillator, allowing high stability, broad wavelength tuning, and output power level optimization. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20100265514 | ALL-OPTICAL FIBER INTERFEROMETER - A compact and stable interferometer is easily built only with fusion splices. The air-holes of a microstructured fiber are intentionally collapsed in the vicinity of the splices and this broadens the propagating optical mode, allowing coupling from core to cladding modes. The transmission spectrum is sinusoidal and of single frequency, indicating predominant interference between the fundamental core mode ( | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100060976 | OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR - A synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100055719 | Screening method for identifying new aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors - The method comprising: a) obtaining a gene sequence codifying a naturally occurring aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase; b) engineering the gene codifying for said aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, resulting into an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase with a defective activity, with the proviso that the engineering does not affect the functionality of the catalytic site of the enzyme; c) cloning the gene resulting from step (b) in an expression vector; d) transforming isolated mammalian cells with the expression vector resulting from step (c); e) growing the recombinant cells resulting from step (d) in a nutrient medium under conditions which allow the expression of the engineered aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, resulting the expression into cell death or a decrease in the rate of cell division; f) providing a substance to be tested to the medium resulting from step (e); and g) analyzing the resulting cell growth, wherein if there is an increase in cell growth, then the substance selectively inhibits the activity of the engineered aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and does not affect to its cellular ortholog, resulting in that said substance is a candidate to drug. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090291465 | Screening Method for Identifying New Drugs - A screening method for identifying new drugs A screening method for identifying a candidate to drug wherein said method 5 comprises the following steps: a) obtaining an expression vector which comprises a gene sequence codifying a naturally occurring pathogenic non-discriminating tRNA synthetase; b) transforming isolated mammalian cells with the expression vector; c) growing the recombinant cells resulting from (b) in a nutrient medium under conditions which allow the expression of the 10 pathogenic tRNA synthetase, resulting the expression of the pathogenic tRNA synthetase into cell death or a decrease in the rate of cell division; d) providing a substance to be tested; and e) analyzing the resulting cell growth, wherein if there is an increase in cell growth, then the substance selectively inhibits the activity of the pathogenic tRNA synthetase and does 15 not affect to its cellular ortholog, resulting that said substance is a candidate to drug. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090069569 | CYCLOADDITION OF AZIDES AND ALKYNES - This invention provides a process which comprises contacting, in a reaction zone, at least one organic azide, at least one alkyne, and at least one N-heterocyclic carbene copper compound in which the ligands are either (i) a halide and an N-heterocyclic carbene or (ii) two N-heterocyclic carbenes and a BF | 03-12-2009 |
| 20080212179 | METHOD OF OPTICAL MANIPULATION OF SMALL-SIZED PARTICLES - Method and system of optical manipulation of micrometer-sized objects, which comprises the steps of placing a pattern ( | 09-04-2008 |
