Publication number: 20150147475Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of forming a polymer coating on a substrate. The method comprising the steps of providing in an evacuated reaction chamber a substrate having a surface to be coated; and providing a first source of polymer forming material and a second source of radicals. According to the invention the first source and the second source are separated from each other and from the reaction chamber, and the polymer forming material as well as the radicals are, at least temporarily, conducted contemporaneously but spatially separated to the substrate's surface, so that a reaction of the polymer forming material with the radicals is avoided before they reach the substrate's surface. Further, the present invention is directed to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: Centre De Recherche Public - Gabriel LippmannInventor: Damien Lenoble

Publication number: 20150040475Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container for storing and planting seeds, bulbs or tubers, the container comprising a housing made of a non-water soluble material, wherein the housing comprises a first compartment for receiving a seed, bulb or tuber, wherein the first compartment is essentially free of water, and a second compartment arranged below the first compartment, for receiving nutrients promoting growth of the seed, bulb or tuber. Still in accordance with the present invention, the container comprises a separation layer between the first and the second compartments, wherein the housing has a rounded shape at its bottom and the container has a center of gravity arranged such that the container is adapted to erect itself when it is deposited on a supporting surface in a tilted manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2013Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: Centre De Recherche Public-Gabriel LippmannInventors: Thomas Schleeh, Jean-Francois Hausman

Publication number: 20140212868Abstract: The invention provides a method and kit for the separation and purification of cellular components including polar and non-polar metabolites, genomic DNA, RNA and proteins from a single biological sample where two steps of lysis of the cells are performed sequentially, before and after a metabolite isolation step. The first lysis step is mechanical and performed in order to be incomplete, whereas the second is chemical or both mechanical and chemical. A sequential isolation of genomic DNA, RNA and proteins is carried out after the second lysis step.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2012Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicants: CENTRE DE RECHERCHE PUBLIC - GABRIEL LIPPMANN, UNIVERSITE DU LUXEMBOURGInventors: Paul Wilmes, Hugo Roume, Karsten Hiller, Thekla Cordes

Publication number: 20140110265Abstract: An electrode for forming an electrochemical cell with a substrate and a method of forming said electrode. The electrode comprises a carrier provided with an insulating layer which is patterned at a front side. Conducting material in an electrode layer is applied in the cavities of the patterned insulating layer and in contact with the carrier. A connection layer is applied at the backside of the carrier and in contact with the carrier. The periphery of the electrode is covered by the insulating material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: April 24, 2014Applicant: CENTRE DE RECHERCHE PUBLIC - GABRIEL LIPPMANNInventors: Mikael Fredenberg, Patrik Möller, Peter Wiwen-N ilsson, Cecilia Aronsson, Matteo Dainese

Publication number: 20130017341Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a porous colorimetric gas sensing layer. In various embodiments, the method comprises providing a mixture of an organic solvent, a polymer forming material and a gas sensing compound or gas sensing particles. The method additionally comprises depositing the mixture (sprayed or vaporized) on at least a surface portion of a substrate. Thereafter, an atmospheric pressure plasma is applied to the surface portion to form a polymer layer comprising the gas sensing compound or particles. The steps of depositing the mixture and applying the plasma can be repeated multiple times to form a plurality of stacked or superposed polymer layers comprising the gas sensing compound or particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: CENTRE DE RECHERCHE PUBLIC - GABRIEL LIPPMANNInventors: Nicolas Boscher, Patrick Choquet, David Duday
