A microwave thermosolar method and device used in a tubular reactor () includes a conveyor for substrates defined as materials thus conveyed. According to this method, a step is provided for circulating an electric current in the conveyor in order to produce heat in this conveyor by Joule effect and optionally to cause, in the substrates, at least some of the following: curing, pyrolyses, gasifications, fusions and chemical reactions including oxidation-reduction reactions, under the action of the electric current.

Method using plasma-coupled solar thermal energy and related device

An alternative process and device for carrying out Fischer Tropsch (FT) syntheses is proposed, allowing the reactant entities that take part in the FT reaction to be activated and their contributions, whether by quantity or by proportion, to be adjusted. The process consists in making a particulate phase, optionally consisting of catalytic particles, flow through a reactor. While flowing through the reactor, the particulate phase is subjected at regular intervals to the action of a plasma obtained from a gas, such as hydrogen, thus enabling hydrogen activation for hydrogenation of carbon monoxide, or carbon monoxide activation in order to lengthen the carbon chains.

GTL process and reactor employing a mobile phase and plasma

A process, for the quantitative analysis by optical emission spectroscopy of a plasma induced by a laser beam of at least one target included in a biochip, involves the use of an adjuvant allowing the formation of a dry matrix capable of being ablated simultaneously with the at least one target, the dry matrix being configured to improve the analytical properties of plasma, the adjuvant having an emission spectrum whose lines have wavelengths distinct from the wavelengths of the spectral lines used for the quantitative analysis of said at least one target.

A system enables the use of solar heat energy together with electromagnetic energy and optionally energy produced during fermentation of organic products to produce fresh water from salt water, wastewater and water vapor contained in the atmosphere. The resulting fresh water can optionally be rendered drinkable by adding mineral salts at the desired concentration. A method and reactors combine electromagnetic and solar heating steps and optionally heat exchanges with a hot gas originating from combustion, to evaporate droplets of a spray produced from salt water or wastewater. The vapor obtained is separated from the salt particles or agglomerated impurities during evaporation using a cyclone system. The vapor can then be transported over a large distance before being condensed by bearings, in order to separate the water from any additives or impurities that may be present. Additives can be used to lower the vapor pressure of the liquid water and to facilitate droplet fractionation.

The present invention relates to a device and method for the high speed quantitative measurement of biomolecular targets on the surface or in the body of a planar medium for biological analysis. The method, according to the invention, includes the following, steps: a) at least two laser beams (F&#x2033;) are focused and overlaid on each measuring point of said medium by the simultaneous intersection of these beams to extract a contained hot plasma (P), including a measured chemical element present in the targets and another chemical element exogenous to the targets and present in a known quantity on this medium; b) luminous emission rays for each plasma, corresponding to the quantified element and exogenous element, are detected and analyzed for each measuring point while measuring the brightness of these rays; then c) the concentration in each measuring point of the quantified element is determined through prior calibration of the rays of the qualified element to determine a correlation between the brightness of the rays, specific to said element, and the concentrations of the latter in mixtures of the quantified element and exogenous element in known proportions.

The present invention relates in particular to a method for the quantitative measurement of biomolecular targets that have been deposited on a biochip () of the type with a matrix of probes hybridized by the targets, the matrix comprising a multitude of measurement points () each comprising a plurality of probes, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) at least one laser beam () is focused onto each measurement point, in order to extract therefrom a hot confined plasma comprising a chemical element to be quantified that is present in the targets and optionally in the probes; b) the light emission lines from the plasma are detected and analysed for each measurement point, by measuring the respective intensities of these lines; and then c) the concentration in each measurement point of the element or of a group incorporating it within the targets is determined via a prior calibration of the lines establishing a correlation between the intensities of the lines specific to the element to be quantified and given concentrations of this element.

A system uses thermal solar energy coupled with microwaves and plasma for producing carbon monoxide (CO) and dihydrogen (H2) from carbonated compounds (biomass, domestic waste, sludge from waste water, fossil coal), wherein the obtained gaseous mixture yields, amongst others, hydrocarbon fuels (olefins, paraffin), esters, and alcohols via a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In a first step the carbonated compounds are roasted and pyrolized to produce char and dry coal, and a mixture of superheated gases containing CO2, steam, tars and non-condensable volatile materials. The method includes in a second step, and from the pyrolyis products (char or coal, gas mixture), generating a syngas substantially containing a mixture of carbon monoxide and dihydrogen, the mixture being used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis units. After the Fischer-Tropsch step, the synthesis products are separated in a distillation column after heating in solar furnaces of mixed furnaces (solar/microwave).

The invention relates to a method of analysing molecular targets contained in a complex mixture, comprising the following steps consisting in: a) bringing the mixture of molecular targets to be analysed into contact with an array of different types of primary probes, whereby each type of primary probe forming the array can bind specifically to a type of target selected from among the molecular targets, under conditions that enable specific binding between the molecular targets and the primary probes; b) optionally eliminating the primary probes that are not bound specifically to a molecular target; c) separating the molecular targets and the primary probes which are bound specifically in a probe/target complex, such as to recover the array of primary probes representing a fingerprint of the molecular targets to be analysed; and d) quantitatively analysing the primary probes eluted in step c.
