Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of fucans with a weight-average molar mass of between 5000 and 100 000 g/mol, for the purposes of bone grafting, engineering and regeneration.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the use of a sulphated polysaccharide capable of being obtained by radical depolymerization of a raw fucan derived from Pheophyceae, said polysaccharide having a molar mass not more than 10,000 g/mol, to obtain a medicine for preventing or treating vascular thrombosis, in particular venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis and arterial restenosis.
Abstract:
A centrifuge partition chromatography device for separating a liquid into at least two phases, comprising at least one flat ring (3a) that can be rotationally driven around its axis, disposed in a substantially vertical position. Said ring (3a) comprises a plurality of cells (7) whose dimensions are greater in a first direction than the dimensions in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first, disposed side by side and distributed along the periphery of said ring (3a) in addition to being connected to each other in a series by inlet and outlet ducts (15) terminating in the opposite respective ends of each cells (7) enabling the circulation of liquid. The invention is characterized in that said ducts (15) are disposed in such a way that the liquid supply jet penetrates the cells (7) in a direction that includes at least one radial component relative to the axis of rotation of said ring (3a).
Abstract:
The invention relates to sulphated polysaccharides obtained from fucuses extracted from pheophyceae. The molecular weight of these polysaccharides is greater than 5 and less than 40 Kda; their sulphur content is greater than that of the original fucus and they contain less than 0.15% of contaminant proteins. Applications as anticoagulant and anticomplementary agents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system, method and tool for optimizing combination of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and to an optimized combination of LEDs. The system and method provide a plurality of LEDs and corresponding specifications. Then, a color temperature and a color rendering index are selected. Calculations are performed for subgroups of LEDs. At least one optimized combination of LEDs having an optimized corresponding luminous flux is identified according to selected color temperature, color rendering index and LEDs' specifications. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a tool for optimizing white light generated by a combination of LEDs. The tool comprises a repository for storing specifications for the combination of LEDs, a selection module for selecting at least one of the following parameters: a color temperature, a color rendering index and a maximum shift variance from a black body locus, and a processing module for calculating for subgroups of LEDs resulting color temperature, color rendering index, luminous flux, and for identifying an optimized selection of LEDs. The present invention also relates to an optimized combination of LEDs for producing white light with high color rendering index, the combination of LEDs excluding blue LEDs.

Abstract:
The invention concerns the use of fucanes for obtaining medicines for modulating metalloprotease and inhibiting leukocytic elastase. Said medicines help activate collagen synthesis inhibit proliferation of gingival fibroblasts, and activate proliferation of dermal fibroblasts. They are useful in particular for treating periodontal pathologies and dermal lesions.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining sulphated polysaccharides using the free radical depolymerization of a fucan from Phaeophyceae in the presence of a metal catalyst and of hydrogen peroxide is described. The method of the invention provides polysaccharide fractions with a molecular weight of 10,000 g/mol or less, with anticoagulant properties.
Abstract:
A proximity detector including a sensor unit that produces an analog signal and a processor circuit digitizing this signal. The processor circuit includes logic that determines a switching value from an initial value and an extreme value obtained during a learning mode.
