Abstract: The present invention provides a biochemical detection system that comprises an exchangeable cartridge unit with light guiding tubes pre-coated with capture agent(s) and an optical detection unit. Upon flowing the liquid or gaseous sample containing the target(s) through the cartridge unit, the target(s) bind(s) to the capture agent(s) and is (are) detected by the amount of light or the variation of its properties while guided through the tubes. The optical detection unit is comprised of a light emitting element(s), a light connecting element(s) and a light detecting element(s) that delivers the amount of target(s) in the sample under investigation.

Multilayer system comprising an HMPSA layer, a printable support layer and an adjacent protective layer. Corresponding self-adhesive label and process for recycling a labeled article with debonding of said label by immersing the article in a hot basic aqueous solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite turbomachine blade, the method comprising the following steps: a) making a preform by three-dimensionally weaving yarns including tracer yarns disposed at least at the surface of the preform; b) cutting out said preform so as to leave intact a series of tracer yarns situated along a reference face of the preform; c) pre-deforming said cut-out preform; d) compacting and stiffening said pre-deformed preform; e) providing an injection mold in which said stiffened preform is placed; f) heating said injection mold; g) injecting a binder into said injection mold, the binder comprising a thermosettable resin; and h) extracting from the mold a composite molded part presenting substantially the shape and the dimensions of said blade. The invention is applicable to a making fan blade.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a hollow blade (1) for a turbomachine in which the blade (1) is made from a preform (14) obtained from external primary parts (28, 30). In order to reduce costs, the root part (2) of the blade is formed from spare material (34) entirely located on only one of the two external primary parts of the preform (14).
