  • Patent number: 10302533
    Abstract: A system for transferring a fluid sample in a fluid cell, includes a first and a second fluid circuit connected, respectively, to a first and a second inlet-outlet (1, 2) of a fluid cell (10), first injection elements (80) configured so as to inject, in series, into the first fluid circuit (11, 12, 13): a buffer solution, a first separation fluid volume followed by a fluid sample, then a second separation fluid volume and another buffer solution. The system includes first discharge elements arranged on the first fluid circuit near the first inlet-outlet (1), second injection elements (90, 91) arranged on the second fluid circuit (21, 22, 23) near the second inlet-outlet (2), and two-way circulation elements configured so as to circulate the fluid sample in two opposite directions in the fluid cell (10) without the passage of separation fluid into the fluid cell (10).

  • Patent number: 6740841
    Abstract: A plasma torch including at least two electrodes separated by an insulating cylindrical case having a void, wherein the electrodes are separated by a distance (D) for forming an igniting arc therebetween when the electrodes are connected to a voltage, the distance (D) and the voltage being selected to form substantially a 1 Megavolt/meter electrical field between the electrodes, for forming an arc and causing plasma to be generated from the plasma generating material.

  • Publication number: 20020134767
    Abstract: The invention relates to plasma torch (1) comprising at least two electrodes (7, 8) separated by an insulating cylindrical case (6) delimiting an inner volume, said torch wherein the electrodes (7, 8) are separated by a sufficiently small distance (D) for an igniting arc to appear between the electrodes (7, 8) when a serviceable voltage supplied by a generator (19) is applied between them.

  • Patent number: 6237494
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is an ignition component for a pyrotechnic composition or propellant charge. This component comprises at least two electrodes separated by a cylindrical insulating envelope marking out an inner volume, electrodes connected by a conductive ignition fuse arranged in the inner volume, the component thus forming a plasma torch whose size is such that it generates a plasma when it receives an ignition voltage less than or equal to 600 volts and is supplied with electric energy less than or equal to 5000 joules.
