  • Device for measuring the oxidation stability and/or the thermal stability of a fuel by means of a microfluidic chip
    Patent number: 11598761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for measuring the oxidation stability and/or the thermal stability of any type of fuel, including diesel fuel, by miniaturization of the test system by use of a microfluidic technique. The physical phenomena to which fuels are subjected are reproduced by the microchannels (12) of the microfluidic chip (7), which comprise a representation of at least one of the fuel injection and the fuel circulation for a drive system, an internal-combustion engine or an aircraft reactor for example.

  • METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE MORPHOLOGY OF COAGULANT TYPE AGGREGATED FILAMENTOUS FUNGI
    Publication number: 20190093068
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a method for modifying the morphology of coagulant type aggregated filamentous fungi comprising: a) the encapsulation of the spores of the said filamentous fungi in the dispersed phase of a water-in-oil emulsion, b) the germination of the encapsulated spores in the said dispersed phase of the emulsion, c) the recovery of the non-aggregated germinated spores, the said emulsion being obtained by using a microfluidic device, d) the culturing of the germinated spores in a liquid medium.

  • Emulsion Activatable by Ultrasounds and Method for Producing Same
    Publication number: 20120121516
    Abstract: The invention relates to an emulsion that can be activated by ultrasounds, comprising, in an emulsion in an aqueous solution, microparticles having a diameter of less than 10 ?m and containing an active agent and a gaseous precursor in a liquid form, encapsulated by a first emulsifier. The microparticles contain nanoparticles smaller than 1 ?m, in an emulsion in the gaseous precursor, each nanoparticle comprising an inner liquid that contains the active agent and is encapsulated by a second emulsifier.
