  • Selective gas filter
    Patent number: 8663353
    Abstract: A filter including multiple tanks connected in series by connecting ducts. In the filter a flow of gaseous flows encounters multiple obstacles in it, an effect of which is efficiently to block constituents with heaviest molecular weight, without substantially hindering diffusion of lighter constituents. This may be obtained by internal baffles, or by a bank of finer ducts, for example at an inlet of the filter. Such a filter may find application to separation of hydrogen and radon produced by nuclear waste.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2014
    Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique

  • Agglomerated starch-based product for food preparations
    Patent number: 6858245
    Abstract: An agglomerated starch-based product and a dry mixes based thereon are provided suitable for preparing instant food preparations. The agglomerated starch-based product is a homogeneous powder wherein each powder particle is an agglomeration of randomly distributed fine grains of starch and maltodextrin. The agglomerated starch-based product is readily dispersible in aqueous fluids and develops un full viscosity instantaneously.
