Patent number: 7419641Abstract: A device for evaporation of a solution based on solvent and compounds or solutes inside an enclosure comprises different evaporation zones separated by separating partitions into several distinct elementary chambers enabling fractionated evaporation via outlets generating a plurality of separate vapor flows specific to each constituent. The solution is injected into the first chamber subjected to the lowest temperature so as to impregnate a porous mobile element that passes through the different partitions, being successively in contact with said chambers heated to increasing temperatures. A neutral carrier gas is injected in the vicinity of the partitions for control of the pressure losses of the gas flows between the different chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Joint Industrial Processors for ElectronicsInventors: Franck Laporte, Rene-Pierre Ducret, Carmen Jimenez Nicollin, Jean-Emmanuel Decams, Benoit Pierret, Herve Guillon

Patent number: 6759632Abstract: A heating device infrared radiation lamps 24, 26 designed to perform rapid thermal processing of the substrate 12 inside a reaction chamber 14 with a transparent window 34. The infrared lamps 24, 26 are arranged in two superposed stages A, B extending on a single side of the substrate 12, the lamps 24 of the lower stage A being arranged perpendicularly with respect to the lamps 26 of the upper stage B. Adjusting the supply power by of lamps for greater heating on the edges than in the center of the substrate 12. A reflector 36 in the form of a distribution grid 38 is designed to reflect the infrared radiation to control the power ratios between the different heating zones. This results in uniform heating of the substrate 12 regardless of the geometry and dimensions thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Joint Industrial Processors for ElectronicsInventors: René Pierre Ducret, Franck Laporte, Benoit Pierret, Bachir Semmache

Patent number: 6297279Abstract: A method for preparing a synthetic lipid composition in which the content and the distribution of the fatty acids are similar to those of human milk fat, containing less than 2% by weight of free fatty acids, in which palmitic acid is predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols and the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are distributed between the 1-, 2- and 3-position and in particular predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols. The method includes the steps of interesterifying a mixture of specific lipids with a mixture of free fatty acids, followed by removal of excess free fatty acids by partial deacidification utilizing steam distillation under vacuum and then by controlled neutralization of the partially deacidified fat.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Nestac S.A.Inventors: Junkuan Wang, Raymond Bertholet, Pierre Ducret, Mathilde Fleith

Process and device for processing a material by electromagnetic radiation in a controlled atmosphere
Patent number: 6259066Abstract: A process for processing or forming a material by electromagnetic radiation and in a controlled atmosphere or in a vacuum inside a reaction chamber uses a first infrared radiation causing rapid heating and a second ultraviolet radiation of the excimer type having a spectral resolution lower than 40 nm, regardless of the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation, so as to generate a suitable photon flux either for modification of the physico-chemical properties of the material or for formation of a deposit on the substrate. The exposure time of the second ultraviolet radiation is lower than that of the first infrared radiation and the processing temperature is comprised between 70° C. and 800° C. depending on the nature of the material and of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Joint Industrial Processors for ElectronicsInventors: Emmanuelle Touchais-Papet, Rene-Pierre Ducret -
