  • Photosynthetic organisms through the modulation of guanosine tetraphosphate homeostatis
    Patent number: 11104913
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and approaches for modifying guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) homeostasis in photosynthetic eukaryotes, in particular plants or algae, in order to modulate senescence for the remobilisation of nitrogen and other nutrients from the chloroplast, and modified photosynthetic eukaryotes thus produced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS), UNIVERSITÉ D'AIX MARSEILLE
    Inventors: Benjamin Field, Matteo Sugliani, Christophe Robaglia, Hela Abdelkefi
  • Cable breakout assembly
    Patent number: 10606019
    Abstract: A breakout assembly for transitioning a multi-fibre optical cable into one or more individual fibres is disclosed. The breakout assembly includes a first housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable, and a second housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable. The first housing segment is securable to the second housing segment so as to encapsulate at least a portion of the individual fibres as they break out from the cable.
