Abstract: A system for sorting metallic objects by magnetic separation has an electromagnetic core. The electronic core includes at least a first portion, a second portion, and a bottom. A sorting flap is arranged facing the electromagnetic core to fashion a circulation space for a conveyor of objects to be sorted from the first portion toward the second portion. The sorting flap includes a magnetic element arranged to form an air gap (E1) between the first portion and the sorting flap. The air gap forms a magnetic barrier opposing the passage of non-magnetic metallic objects, such that the objects are ejected from the conveyor. The second portion is arranged to ensure a return of the magnetic flux lines toward the first portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to an in vitro method for detecting or monitoring an endometrial or ovarian carcinoma in a human subject, which method comprises detecting, or determining the level of, methylation of OXT and/or ZSCAN12 gene in a biological sample from the subject.

Abstract: A tire (10) for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown (12) comprising: a tread (20), and a hoop reinforcement (17) comprising at least one hooping ply (19) comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements (44) comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide (47) and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (48). The twist factor K of the hoop reinforcing element (44) ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. The tire (10) is obtained by a method comprising a step of manufacturing the hooping ply (19), in which the bonded reinforcing elements (44) are embedded in a polymer composition in order to form the uncured hooping ply, the equivalent initial tensile modulus of the uncured hooping ply ranging from 330 to 620 cN/tex/dm.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for quantifying a SARS coronavirus in a blood sample of a subject, and for determining a risk for the subject to develop a severe form of the disease or for the disease to worsen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of oncology, particularly the early diagnostic of lung cancer, the monitoring of lung cancer patients and the prediction of the clinical outcome of patients. The invention relates to a method for diagnosing lung cancer or diagnosing relapse of lung cancer in patients by determination of the level of methylation of gene(s) and the kit to implement said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for determining the severity of a disease caused by a coronavirus infection, comprising quantifying the level of cellular RNA of RNase P in a blood sample of a subject.

Abstract: Technologies for coordinating access to packets include a network device. The network device is to establish a ring in a memory of the network device. The ring includes a plurality of slots. The network device is also to allocate cores to each of an input stage, an output stage, and a worker stage. The worker stage is to process data in a data packet with an associated worker function. The network device is also to add, with the input stage, an entry to a slot in the ring representative of a data packet received with a network interface controller of the network device, access, with the worker stage, the entry in the ring to process at least a portion of the data packet, and provide, with the output stage, the processed data packet to the network interface controller for transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for diagnosing or identifying gastric cancer in a subject. The inventors indeed identified three DNA methylation biomarkers that, alone, or preferably in combination, can help diagnosing or following-up gastric cancer patients very specifically, discriminating with other type of cancers. Further, it can be used for determining, and/or adapting a suitable therapeutic regimen for a subject diagnosed for gastric cancer. The present invention also relates to kits comprising primers or probes to detect, diagnose, or identify hypermethylated genes.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing by magnetron cathode sputtering an electrolyte film for use in solid oxide cells (SOC). This method comprises the steps consisting of heating a substrate to a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 1200° C.; followed by subjecting the substrate to at least two treatment cycles, each treatment cycle comprising: 1) depositing one layer of a metal precursor on the substrate by magnetron cathode sputtering of a target made up of the metal precursor, the sputtering being carried out under elemental sputtering conditions; followed by 2) oxidation-crystallisation of the metal precursor forming the layer deposited on the substrate in the presence of oxygen to obtain the transformation of the metal precursor into the electrolyte material; and in that the substrate is kept at a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 1200° C. for the entire duration of each treatment cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for counting cells, such as bacteria and/or somatic cells in liquid samples, such as in dairy products, preferably raw milk. Disclosed is a method comprising a combination of steps that apply dimeric nucleic acid dyes that normally do not penetrate cells (=cell-impermeant dyes), which are rendered cell-permeant by using the right combination of pH, buffer and temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for diagnosing or identifying pancreas cancer in a subject. The inventors indeed identified two DNA methylation biomarkers that, alone, preferably in combination, can help diagnosing or following-up pancreatic cancer patients very specifically, discriminating with other type of cancers. Further, it can be used for determining, adapting a suitable therapeutic regimen for a subject diagnosed for pancreas cancer. The present invention also relates to kit comprising primers or probes to detect, diagnose, identify hypermethylated genes.

Abstract: A computing apparatus, including: a processor; a pointer to a counter memory location; and a lazy increment counter engine to: receive a stimulus to update the counter; and lazy increment the counter including issuing a weakly-ordered increment directive to the pointer.
