Abstract: The disclosure relates to suppressing surface waves in a communication device for a wireless communication system. The communication device includes a dielectric layer extending along a plane between a chassis and a glass layer, an antenna element configured to emit a radio wave, and a retroreflective structure extending inside the dielectric layer and being located adjacent to the antenna element, and where the retroreflective structure is configured to reflect the radio wave in an angle non-parallel to the plane. The retroreflective structure hence prevents parasitic channeling of the antenna energy into surface waves in and behind the glass layer and directs the radiation into the desired direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biostimulant and biofertilizer bioinoculant composition in a Solanum tuberosum-based medium, which comprises microorganisms that produce siderophores and indole derivatives, solubilize phosphorus and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Said composition further comprises one or more indole derivatives and includes at least one additional carbon source. It is also disclosed a method for producing said composition. The composition of the present invention provides an alternative to chemical fertilization of crops, promotes plant growth by maintaining stable cell counts after its application to a substrate or to plant material and has extended shelf life.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production and application of a biological inoculant for use in plant material sown in nurseries. The invention also relates to a method for the immobilization of bacterial strains on a support and application to plant materials. The invention further relates to the use of native teak tree rhizosphere bacteria as a means for promoting plant growth. The invention consists in developing a biological product based on applying rhizosphere bacteria to a carbonized teak sawdust support, which can be used to obtain plants with improved characteristics in less time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device that can be used to transfer power wirelessly, which is based on at least two resonators comprising photonic crystals defined by multiple layers of two different materials disposed concentrically and producing a circular sandwich-type structure. In one of the preferred embodiments of the device of the invention, the photonic crystals of each resonator of the device are disposed concentrically, which is the preferred configuration for each resonator, although different configurations can be used in alternative embodiments in which the photonic crystals are disposed radially. The outside radius of each resonator can be defined according to various parameters, with the parameter referring to the wavelength of the working frequency being one of the preferred parameters when establishing the outside radius.

Abstract: The field of the invention refers to chimeric Virus Like Particles (VLP) derived from Birnavirus chimeric VP2 protein. In particular, the invention refers to chimeric VP2 fusion proteins which incorporate insertions and/or substitutions with one or more amino acids or particular peptide of interest while maintaining the capacity to assemble in the form of VLP. The invention identifies particular insertion and/or substitutions sites within VP2 P loop regions and outside said P loop regions. The invention also incorporates methods for the identification of preferred insertion and substitution sites within VP2 for the incorporation of particular amino acids and peptides of interest. The resulting chimeric VLP are of interest in the design of therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines as well as in the design of drug delivery systems, carriers for DNA and RNA in gene therapy, as targeted agents, in the development of antitoxins, and as diagnostic reagents.
