| 20090104080 | Method and device for isolating and/or determining an analyte - The invention concerns a device for isolating, on a reactive surface, an analyte from a liquid sample containing the analyte. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090129923 | Device for maintaining a hydraulic turbomachine - A device for holding a hydraulic turbomachine in position, the turbomachine comprising a drive shaft along which are distributed turbines designed to rotate the drive shaft when they are immersed in a moving liquid, each turbine comprising drive blades distributed around the drive shaft, the device comprising at least one post extending along at least more than half of the length of the drive shaft and formed of the stacking of at least two post portions, each Post portion being associated with a turbine or with an assembly of adjacent turbines; and a first linking mechanism attached to one of the post portions and to a bearing receiving the drive shaft and arranged between two adjacent turbines; and a second linking mechanism connecting at least one of the posts to the around by a rigid connection with respect to the ground along at least one axis parallel to the liquid motion direction. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090134009 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLACEMENT OF A VOLUME OF LIQUID BETWEEN TWO OR MORE SOLID SUBSTRATES AND DISPLACEMENT METHOD - The invention relates to a device for displacing a volume of liquid ( | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090283474 | DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR SEPARATING A SUSPENSION - A device for extracting a liquid phase from a suspension, the device being characterized in that it comprises: a main duct for conveying a flow of said suspension, the duct being of a length that is sufficient to enable a layer of said suspension to develop that is depleted in solid phase; flow disturbance means for disturbing the flow of said suspension, said means being provided in the main duct and being adapted to cause at least one recirculation vortex to form so as to increase locally the thickness of said depleted layer; and liquid extraction means disposed in a region of the device where said suspension is enriched in liquid phase as a result of said recirculation vortex. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090283483 | METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR EXTRACTING A LIQUID PHASE FROM A SUSPENSION - A method of extracting a liquid phase from a suspension, the method comprising: injecting said suspension into a duct presenting a first section that is straight and a second section that is curved; and at the outlet from said curved section of the duct, extracting a liquid-enriched fraction of said suspension that is spatially separated from a particle-enriched fraction of the suspension; the method being characterized in that the injection flow rate of the suspension and the geometry of the duct are selected in such a manner that: in the straight section, lift forces cause particles to be superconcentrated in a ring around the longitudinal axis of the duct; and in the curved section, Dean secondary flows deform said ring and give rise to spatial separation between said liquid-enriched fraction and said particle-enriched fraction. A device for implementing such a method. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100000540 | DEVICE FOR EXTRACTING PARTICLES FROM EXHALED BREATH - Device for extracting particles from exhaled breath, comprising a cooling system ( | 01-07-2010 |
| 20110006534 | TURBINE ENGINE WITH TRANSVERSE-FLOW HYDRAULIC TURBINE HAVING REDUCED TOTAL LIFT FORCE - The invention relates to a turbine engine that includes at least first and second lift turbine stacks with transverse flow. The shafts of adjacent turbines in the first stack are connected by a first coupling device adapted for compensating space misalignments, and the shafts of adjacent turbines in the first stack are connected by a second coupling device adapted for compensating for space misalignments. The turbine engine includes a device for supporting the first and second turbine stacks, which is symmetrical to said plane, and a control device adapted for permanently maintaining the symmetry between the first and second turbine stacks relative to the plane, and for maintaining the rotation speeds of the first and second turbine stacks at equal values in opposite rotation directions. | 01-13-2011 |
