  • Method for producing an optical fibre for a distributed measurement of temperature or deformation in a harsh environment using the Rayleigh backscattered signal
    Patent number: 11971310
    Abstract: An optical fibre, for use in the field of distributed measurement of temperature or deformation by optical reflectometry in the frequency domain using the Rayleigh backscattered signal in the fibre, includes a core doped with nanoparticles for example formed from gold particles covered with zirconium oxide, and can be subjected to high temperatures during the measurement. A method for producing the optical fibre includes a step of heat treatment during which the optical fibre is subjected, for a duration of at least one hour, to a heat treatment temperature higher than a maximum temperature to which it will be subjected during a measurement.
    Type: Grant

  • L-arabinose assimilation pathway and uses thereof
    Patent number: 10392623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new L-arabinose assimilation pathway and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to polypeptides exhibiting L-arabinose isomerase, L-ribulokinase or L-ribulose-5-phosphate-4-epimerase activity, and recombinant host cells expressing said polypeptides. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a fermentation product, preferably ethanol, from an arabinose containing substrate, using a polypeptide or a host cell of the invention.
