  • Patent number: 10519427
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for rapid production of PCV2 such that an optimum yield of the virus can be obtained. This invention also relates to the vaccine useful against PCV2 which includes the PCV2 propagated using such a method.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10210995
    Abstract: A method for producing a film including a non-magnetic matrix and a plurality of three-dimensional magnetic microstructures arranged within the matrix according to a predetermined pattern. The method includes providing a master substrate with a magnetically structured face formed from a plurality of magnetic field micro-sources, having a magnetic field gradient of between 102 and 106 T/m. The method also includes adding magnetic microparticles or nanoparticles to the magnetically structured face of the master substrate, the particles agglomerating into three-dimensional microstructures arranged under an effect of an attractive magnetophoretic force exerted by the magnetic field gradient on the surface of the master substrate. The method further includes depositing, on the magnetically structured face of the master substrate, a matrix made from a non-magnetic material, in such a way as to enclose the arranged microstructures and to form the film and peeling the film from the master substrate.

  • Patent number: 4935253
    Abstract: The invention consists of the following steps:(a) continuously feeding n1 containers with fresh liquid egg white and n2 containers with fresh liquid egg yolk, the containers having the same shape and being made of a material inert to microwaves, the sum of n=n1+n2 being equal to at least two and n1 being either equal to n2 or different from n2 by one unit,(b) subjecting each liquid egg product to the action of microwaves so that it coagulates in the container, in the form of a homogeneous layer, without however reaching the hard cooked state,(c) extracting the layers from the containers and superposing the extracted layers so that a layer based on liquid egg white alternates with a layer based on liquid, egg yolk, and(d) subjecting the superposed layers to a complementary heat treatment to achieve the desired degree of cooking while at the same time ensuring the complexing of the different layers.
