  • Patent number: 9487750
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for establishing and maintaining growth of cells and embryonic tissue on a synthetic polymer matrix. For example, the present invention provides synthetic growth matrices for stem cells, gametes, mature differentiated cells, and embryonic tissue (e.g., blastomeres, embryos, and embryoid bodies). In certain embodiments, the cells are capable of going through multiple passages while remaining in an undifferentiated state as a result of the synthetic polymer matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110074219
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high-frequency inductive coupling power transfer system with SP compensation in the primary and which is suitable both for series- and parallel-compensated secondaries, i.e. with a capacitor in series followed by a capacitor in parallel in the primary and a capacitor in series or a capacitor in parallel in the secondary.

  • Publication number: 20110074348
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic method for controlling a high-frequency inductive coupling power transfer system, which maintains the transferred power at a load equal to the nominal load with misalignments of up to 99% of the area of the secondary, in which the supply voltage and frequency of the system are controlled using a closed-loop control system in order to regulate the misalignments and the variation in the distance to the secondary and, in this way, transfer the nominal power.

  • Publication number: 20080144565
    Abstract: It integrates, in series, an LMDS transport network (1) and an access network (5), such as a BB network, two frequency bands being used, a first one of a large bandwidth in the LMDS network (1), and a second one for the access network (5), of a smaller bandwidth. Network (1) provides said access network (5) with multiple services, simultaneously transmitting contents by means of signals of one or more technologies, and a signal processing device (2) is embedded between both networks (1, 5) for selecting part of the signals transmitted by the transmission network (1) and adapting, with a frequency translation, only selected signals to transmission means of network (5), and also suitable for adapting the signals from network (5) to transmission means of network (1).
