Patent number: 6641816Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enhancing the specific immune response against an immunogenic compound which comprises administering the immunogenic compound together with a poxvirus recombinant and a vaccinal antigen, which is not a poxvirus. The immunological material may be any biological material useful as a vaccine e.g., a polypeptide characteristic of a pathogenic microorganism or associated with a tumoral disorder, a DNA plasmid encoding a peptide or a polypeptide characteristic of a pathogenic microorganism or a tumor-associated antigen, or an hapten coupled to a carrier molecule. The poxvirus may be a live, attenuated or inactivated virus or a recombinant virus. Recombinant virus may encode a heterologous polypeptide such as chemokines, cytokines or co-immunostimulatory molecules or an homologous polypeptide, which is immunologically cross reactive with the immunogenic polypeptide or peptide.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2001Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Aventis Pasteur S.A.Inventors: Michel Chevalier, Bernard Meignier, Catherine Moste, Suryaprakash Sambhara

Patent number: 5001491Abstract: A diode phase-shifting device for an electronically scanning antenna includes a cut-off device designed to operate when the phase-shifting diodes are switched to their non-conducting state, with a view to increasing the switchover speed. This device comprises mainly a low-voltage generator, a circuit breaker or switch, and a high-voltage generator. A switching from the low-voltage generator to the high-voltage generator occurs when the voltage at the terminals of the phase-shifting diode considered exceeds a given threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1977Date of Patent: March 19, 1991Assignee: Thomson-CSFInventors: Michel Chevalier, Roger Bischoff, Yves Loiseau

Patent number: 4864114Abstract: A data bearing card having first contacts connected to an integrated circuit on the card is read and confiscated if invalid or bogus. The card is translated in a first direction from an admission chamber to a reading station having second contacts adapted to engage the first contacts so data signals can be coupled between the integrated circuit and a data processor. After data stored in the integrated circuit have been read through the contacts the card is fed in a second direction of travel from the reading station back toward the admission chamber until the card has been completely extracted from the reading station. If the card is bogus, the reading station pivots to open a path for the card to a confiscation bin located beneath the reading station. The bogus card is then fed in the first direction into the confiscation bin.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1986Date of Patent: September 5, 1989Assignee: Bull, S.A.Inventors: Alain Eriane, Michel Chevalier, Joel Bouaziz

Patent number: 4806744Abstract: A card reader contains an admission chamber, a fixed guide path, including card feeding rollers, and a read station for a magnetic track of a data bearing identification card. The read station and idler wheel are on opposite sides of a card guide path. The read station comprises first and second heads, respectively mounted to turn about first and second parallel axes that extend in the same direction as the guide path. Shafts defining the first and second axes are mounted at the extremities of first and second swing arms positioned on opposite sides of the heads. The swing arms are mounted to turn about a third axis that extends toward the guide path. A shaft defining the third axis is carried on a bifurcated bracket, mounted to rotate about a fourth axis that also extends in the guide path direction. A tension spring exerts a force on the bifurcated bracket to hold the heads constantly against a face of the car as it travels through a nip formed between the heads and a drive roller.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1986Date of Patent: February 21, 1989Assignee: Bull, S.A.Inventors: Alain Briane, Michel Chevalier, Joel Bouaziz

Patent number: 4623263Abstract: An apparatus for the thermal measurement of the texture of a porous body, including a measuring head, a measuring assembly and a processing and control circuit. The measuring head is provided with two identical cylindrical cells, a measuring cell and a reference cell, arranged in a furnace. The measuring assembly measures the mean temperature of the measuring cell, and measures a calorific effect in the measuring cell, and includes a calorific effect detector, a calibration circuit, a temperature regulator including a furnace heater. The measuring circuit supplies a temperature signal and a calorific effect signal to the processing and control circuit, which in turn controls the heater.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1984Date of Patent: November 18, 1986Assignees: Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, Centre Nationale de la Recherche ScientifiqueInventors: Paul Barberi, Pierre Bergez, Maurice Brun, Michel Chevalier, Charles Eyraud, Jean-Francois Quinson
