  • Patent number: 10696694
    Abstract: The invention relates to cationic complexes made up of a lanthanide ion Ln3+ and a ligand of formula (I): with X, Y and R1 as defined in claim 1, and to the salts thereof with an anion, the solvates and hydrates thereof; with the exception of cationic complexes made up of a lanthanide ion Ln3+ and a ligand of one of formulae (I.1) or (I.4) as defined in claim 1, and the salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. The invention also relates to the use of such a complex or of a cationic complex made up of a lanthanide ion Ln3+ and a ligand of formula (I.1) or (I.4) as defined in claim 1, or of one of the salts thereof with an anion, the solvates or hydrates thereof, as an aid to the crystallisation of a biological macromolecule, as well as to crystallisation methods and methods for analysing or determining the structure of a biological macromolecule.

  • Patent number: 8373852
    Abstract: A fiber rotator mechanism for rotating a portion of an optical waveguide, specifically an optical fiber, about a longitudinal axis thereof comprises a motor having a tubular rotor through which the fiber extends, in use, and to which the fiber is secured, directly or indirectly. An optical fiber may be secured by means of a device which also compresses the optical fiber to induce a required birefringence, conveniently by means of a spring-loaded clamping device or a ferrule of shape memory material.
