Patent number: 11583791Abstract: The filter element includes a filter medium having an axis and forming a channel extending substantially axially, a first and a second end plate, each end plate covering one axial end of the filter medium and being sealingly mounted on the axial end whereby a liquid to be filtered can flow through the filter medium towards the channel and out of the filter element through an opening in fluid communication with the channel, or reversely. The filter element includes a protrusion fixedly secured to the first end plate and extending outwardly from the first end plate, the protrusion being substantially tubular and having a through hole in fluid communication with the first end plate opening, the protrusion forming a female coupling piece of a male-female connector, and a locking member capable of releasably locking a male coupling piece of the male-female connector in the female coupling piece.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: VOLVO TRUCK CORPORATIONInventors: Baptiste Boutin, Hervé Coste, Bertrand Cauvin

Publication number: 20230038331Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid filter (6, 12), preferably a fuel filter, for a vehicle, said filter comprising a filter head (36) delimiting an inlet port (19) and an outlet port (21), a filter housing (30) which is to be screwed below the filter head (36) and which contains a filter element (32) centred on a central axis (X38), said filter element including a filter medium (38), a top end plate (42) and a bottom end plate (40). The filter housing (30) delimits a first volume for receiving a flow of liquid to be filtered, said first volume being delimited radially around the filter medium (38) and communicating with the inlet port (19) and a second volume for receiving a flow of filtered liquid, said second volume being delimited radially inside the filter medium (38) and communicating with the outlet port (21).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2020Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: VOLVO TRUCK CORPORATIONInventors: Baptiste BOUTIN, Hervé COSTE

Patent number: 11299035Abstract: This flow regulation device comprises a housing (200) having an inlet port (202) and an outlet port (204), and a fluid flow conduit (206) between them, a valve body (208) mounted in the housing (200), and a first (210) and a second (212) orifices allowing fluid flow in the conduit (206). The valve body (208) is movable between an open position, in which the first and second orifices (210, 212) are open, and a closed position, in which only one (210) of the first and second orifices (210, 212) is open. The flow regulation device (20) comprises a resilient element (214) urging the valve body (208) towards its open position, and the valve body (208) passes from its open to its closed position under action of fluid pressure (P) entering in the inlet port (202).Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: VOLVO TRUCK CORPORATIONInventors: François Giroud, Hervé Coste, Manas Phatak

Method to improve translation of polypeptides by using untranslated regions from heat-shock proteins
Publication number: 20050266488Abstract: Untranslated regions associated with the heat shock response can be used to obtain increased efficiency of translation of polypeptides that are not necessarily normally associated with the heat shock response. This allows the development of greatly improved expression systems. The invention is also useful, for example, in the treatment of a patient suffering from a deficiency in the expression of a polypeptide and in the provision of vaccines.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2005Publication date: December 1, 2005Inventors: Herve Coste, Jonathan Ellis
