  • Patent number: 6790531
    Abstract: Process for treating a flexible bi-constituent self-demolding silicone membrane used as a counterform particularly for resin transfer molding. The membrane is coated with a thin layer of at least one monoconstituent silicone which is a polysiloxane cross-linkable at ambient temperature in the presence of the moisture in air. The polysiloxane corresponds to the formula (I): in which: the substituents R3, R4, and R5 are selected from alkyl or aryl radicals, R6 represents an alkyloxy group, an alkenyloxy group, an alcanoyloxy group, an amino group, a ketiminoxy group, an amido group, an aminoxy group.

  • Publication number: 20040166109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds and their pharmaceutical or diagnostic use, or use as a pharmacological target. More particularly, the present invention describes the identification of partners of the FE65 protein and the use of these partners, or of any compound which is capable of modulating, at least partially, their interaction with FE65, for regulating the activity of FE65, and in particular the phenomenon of intracellular transport or of endocytosis of the APP.

  • Publication number: 20040152162
    Abstract: The invention concerns novel peptides capable of interacting with the human topoisomerase III&agr; and the nucleic acid sequences coding for said polypeptides. The invention also concerns a method for identifying compounds capable of interacting with said polypeptides and a method for identifying molecules capable of modulating the interaction of the topoisomerase III&agr; with said polypeptides.

  • Publication number: 20040146687
    Abstract: In order to manufacture a sandwich panel using the RTM technique, a stack comprising a core (10) with open cells, a film (12) of intumescent material covering each of the faces of the core (10), a dry barrier fabric (14) covering each of the films (12) and an overlay of dry fibers (16) covering each of the barrier fabrics is placed in a mold. During polymerization of the films (12), pressurization of the mold and the presence of the barrier fabrics (14) prevent penetration of the foam into the overlays (16). The resin is then injected into the mold and then polymerized, without danger of penetration into the cells of the core (10).

  • Patent number: 6516606
    Abstract: The invention discloses an aeroengine nacelle afterbody of the type comprising a common nozzle for exhausting the mixed hot and cold gases originating respectively from the fan duct and from the aeroengine combustion chamber, the said nozzle having a longitudinal axis more or less coincident with the axis of the said engine. The common exhaust nozzle consists of two half-nozzles which are more or less symmetric with respect to a plane containing the said longitudinal axis, the said half-nozzles being, on the one hand, individually hinged via one of their longitudinal edges to a support structure hanging down from the wing structure or from the fuselage of the aircraft and, on the other hand, lockable together along their opposite longitudinal edges.
