FluidisationFluidization (or fluidisation) is a process similar to liquefaction whereby a granular material is converted from a static solid-like state to a dynamic fluid-like state. This process occurs when a fluid (liquid or gas) is passed up through the granular material. When a gas flow is introduced through the bottom of a bed of solid particles, it will move upwards through the bed via the empty spaces between the particles. At low gas velocities, aerodynamic drag on each particle is also low, and thus the bed remains in a fixed state.
Cytométrie en fluxLa cytométrie en flux (CMF) est une technique de caractérisation individuelle, quantitative et qualitative, de particules en suspension dans un liquide. Un appareil fait défiler des particules, molécules ou cellules, à grande vitesse dans le faisceau d'un laser. La lumière issue, par diffusion ou fluorescence, du cytomètre permet de compter et de classer la population étudiée suivant plusieurs critères. Il s'agit d'analyser les signaux optiques ou physiques émis par une particule coupant le faisceau lumineux d’un laser ou d’une lampe à arc.
Intangible propertyIntangible property, also known as incorporeal property, is something that a person or corporation can have ownership of and can transfer ownership to another person or corporation, but has no physical substance, for example brand identity or knowledge/intellectual property. It generally refers to statutory creations, such as copyright, trademarks, or patents. It excludes tangible property like real property (land, buildings, and fixtures) and personal property (ships, automobiles, tools, etc.).
