Patent number: 11480738Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor device comprising an optical fiber to be coupled with a laser beam, a through-fiber fabricated cantilever onto one end of said optical fiber, and a light collector. According to the invention, the through-fiber fabricated cantilever is made of a polymer obtained by photo-structuring at least one photo-sensitive monomer species. The present invention also relates to methods for the measurement of parameters such as temperature, mass, viscosity, analyte concentrations, and the degree of a polymerization process, using the device of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignees: UNIVERSITÉ DE BORDEAUX, INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE BORDEAUX, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, UNIVERSITÉ DE TECHNOLOGIE DE COMPIÈGNEInventors: Karsten Haupt, Cédric Ayela, Frank Bokeloh

Patent number: 11246823Abstract: The invention relates to the use of molecularly imprinted polymer(s) or MIPs, of odorous molecule(s), as deodorant agent in particular for selectively trapping molecules that are the cause of human body odour. More particularly by using MIPs which may be obtained via polymerization of “sol-gel” type; it being understood that the polymerization is performed in the presence v) of one or more “templates” of target molecule(s) responsible for human body odour. Another subject of the invention concerns a NI process for preparing MIPs as defined previously, MIPs obtained via this process, and a cosmetic composition comprising at least one MIP as defined previously. Unexpectedly, it appears that the MIPs make it possible to specifically trap precursors of odorous molecules and odorous molecules that may be used in cosmetic formulations, especially those that are the cause of the unpleasant odour of sweat.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: L'OREALInventors: Andrew Greaves, Franco Manfre, Karsten Haupt
