Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110156720PORTABLE PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETECTION DEVICE - A partial discharge detection device for detecting and measuring partial discharges in electric systems or components, which delivers signals having a form much resembling that of the radiated pulse, for improved identification and analysis. The device is of small size, totally insulated and self-powered, and allows measurements to be performed with the highest safety with no need for direct connection, thereby allowing operators to stand at a distance and avoid any system shutdown while making measurements. Furthermore, it can also detect and deliver the sync signal, which is obtained by picking up the supply voltage of the discharge generating components.06-30-2011

20100167034LOW-EMISSIVITY GLAZING - The present invention relates to a glazing coated with an assembly of thin layers using vacuum deposition, said glazing having reflective properties for infrared radiation, while retaining a high transmission in the visible range, and retaining its properties when subjected to a thermal treatment such as bending/toughening. The glazing comprises one or more silver-based layers and dielectric layers, of which at least one underlying dielectric layer in relation to at least one silver-based layer is a titanium oxide- or oxynitride-based layer such as TiMOx or TiMOxNy, in which M is a metal or a plurality of metals or silicon, wherein these metals or silicon are contained in sufficient atomic proportions to prevent a significant transformation of the crystallographic structure of the previously deposited titanium oxide-based layer under the action of the thermal treatment.07-01-2010

20110027562FILM-COATED GLAZING - The present invention relates to essentially transparent glazings comprising a system of films deposited under vacuum by magnetron, and having antisun and/or low-emission properties, comprising as protective surface layer a layer based on titanium oxide and on at least one other metal oxide of high hardness from the group comprising: ZrO02-03-2011
20110183129HIGH REFLECTION GLAZING - The invention relates to a glazing that comprises at least one layer deposited by cathodic spraying under vacuum, said layer containing one or more oxides and a proportion in weight of titanium oxide of at least 40% and not exceeding 95%. The thickness of the layer in question and optionally the thickness of the other layers containing metal oxide is/are selected so that on a clear “float” glass sheet having a thickness of 4 mm, said layer(s) would yield a reflection of at least 15% and a light transmission of at least 60%. The layer or layer system in question further has a mechanical and/or chemical resistance comparable to that of layers produced by pyrolysis for obtaining products having the same kind of optical properties.07-28-2011

20080227710Use of Conjugates of Doxorubicin with Lactosaminated Albumin - The present invention refers to the use of a conjugate of doxorubicin with lactosaminated human albumin for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition useful in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) which do not express the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R). The conjugate which was previously prepared and studied only for the treatment of HCCs expressing the ASGP-R, has now been shown to possess the potentiality of a beneficial use also in the treatment of the HCCs which do not have the receptor. Therefore, compositions containing the conjugate could be administered for treatment of all HCCs, without the need of a preliminary tumor biopsy to demonstrate the presence or the absence of the receptor.09-18-2008
