  • Method for extracting phenolic compounds from olive fruit water and preparation of an extract titrated with olive and grape polyphenols
    Patent number: 9480639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for extracting phenolic compounds with low molecular weights from olive fruit water; the invention also relates to compositions enriched with phenolic compounds including at least 40% of dry matter, said dry matter consisting of at least 30% hydroxytyrosol; the invention also relates to a method for drying said compositions by spraying using grape polyphenol extracts as a drying medium as well as to powders titrated with phenolic compounds of olives and grapes obtained after drying.

  • Sequences for differential diagnostic of and use thereof
    Patent number: 7919436
    Abstract: The invention provides genes that are unique either to Ehrlichia ruminantium strain Gardel or to Ehrlichia ruminantium strain Welgevonden, or allelic couples which are present in both strains but whose sequences differ between the two strains, as genetic markers to differentiate between these two strains. The invention also provides diagnostic methods using these genetic markers.

  • Device for detecting defects removed from fibrous material using optical inspection
    Patent number: 5598266
    Abstract: A device for detecting defects (2, 3) in fibrous materials (4, 22) includes members (16, 17) for squeezing the material against a film (1), a separating member (24) downstream of the squeezing members for separating the fibrous material from the film, and an opto-electronic sensor (6) downstream of the separating member for imaging the film and defects. An image processing assembly (26, 44) is electrically connected to the output of the imaging assembly for sensing and counting the marks left on the film by the defects. A member (25) is provided for moving the film relative to the opto-electronic sensor. Various optical systems, particularly polarizers (9, 10), may be incorporated into the device.
