  • Patent number: 10364414
    Abstract: A cell lysis workflow involving a cell suspension that is passed through a filter in a first flow direction from a first side of the filter toward a second side thereof. The filter captures a plurality of cells on the first side. A lysis solution is passed through the filter in a second flow direction opposite the first direction, thereby dislodging the plurality of cells captured on the filter, and resuspending the plurality of cells in the lysis solution on the first side of the filter. The lysis solution lyses the plurality of cells to produce a cellular lysate. The cellular lysate is passed through the filter in the first flow direction.

  • Patent number: 9376034
    Abstract: A method for minimizing the electricity consumption required for a public transport network that includes several consumers such as electric vehicles. When the vehicles brake, they deliver energy which is recoverable by consumers on the network, such as moving vehicles. A timetable of running orders for all the vehicles is produced, taking account of at least the following parameters: a dynamic location of each vehicle, a stop schedule for each vehicle outside a stop zone, a start schedule for each vehicle in a stop zone in the network; depending on time and motion variations in at least one of said parameters, at least some of the running orders in the timetable are modified chronologically according to a criterion for the maximum distribution of energy recovered from braking to consumers potentially actively requiring power. The timetable is delivered to the vehicles. An associated algorithmic platform may implement the novel process.
