Abstract: The invention provides a support for measurement means for monitoring and/or studying a fluid reservoir (13) through which at least one well (11) passes, said support comprising: a cylindrical tube (2); and a jacket (3) surrounding said cylindrical tube. According to the invention, said jacket (3) has at least one recess (4, 5) for receiving means (6) for measuring a characteristic representative of said reservoir and/or connection means (7) leading to power supply and measurement-processing means (16). The invention also provides a measurement device for monitoring and/or studying a fluid reservoir (13) through which at least one well (11) passes, said device comprising: power supply and measurement processing means (16); means (6) for measuring a characteristic representative of said reservoir, and connection means (7) connecting said measurement means (6) to said power supply and measurement processing means (16).

Abstract: A tube has a first and a second thread orientation mark at respectively a first and a second extremity. The marks are each used for orienting a thread machined in an axial direction of the tube. The first and the second mark are positioned relatively to each other such that a half line perpendicular to the centre axis, departing from the centre axis and passing through the first mark, when translated in a motion parallel to the centre axis towards the second extremity, at the second extremity departs from the centre axis and passes through the second mark.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating a condition or disease characterized by an excess of one or more androgens, the method comprising administering an effective amount of MIS protein or nucleic acid encoding MIS to a patient. The present invention also provides a method of decreasing the level of one or more androgens to a level below the normal level, the method comprising administering an effective amount of MIS protein or nucleic acid encoding MIS to a patient. The methods of the present invention are particularly well-suited for the treatment of prostatic cancer, polycystic ovarian disease, benign prostatic hypertrophy, and precocious puberty.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoformable multilayer film comprising in succession: a protective layer (A); a transparent layer (B) comprising (by weight the total amount being 100%) 0 to 100% of a fluoropolymer (B1) and 100 to 0% of a polymer (B2) essentially consisting of alkyl (meth)acrylate units; a layer (C) based on a polyamide with amine terminal groups; a layer (D) consisting of a polyolefin functionalized by an unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride; a bonding layer (E) made of a polyolefin, said film being obtained by coextruding the various layers, said film being used to cover various substrates, for example by injection-moulding the substrate in the melt onto the multilayer film placed in the bottom of an injection mould, the layer (A) of the film being placed against the wall of the mould.

Abstract: A device for generating a mist from a liquid by a vibrating device. The device comprises a chamber which has a bottom wall on which the liquid rests, a side wall and a top wall. The chamber has at least one mist outlet orifice. The device includes a deflector which has a preferably concave or inclined underside at a distance above the bottom of the chamber and at a level lower than that of the top wall of the chamber.
