Record 4 2006-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
DEF

An immobilization method by which cells or enzymes are enveloped inside semi-permeable membranes which allow the passage of substrate and product molecules, but which do not allow the enzyme to pass.

CONT

Various methods for immobilizing enzyme molecules have been examined. Physical adsorption and chemical bonding of enzyme molecules to solid surfaces have been studied extensively, but these techniques often cause inactivation of the enzyme and, in extreme cases, denaturation. Encapsulation without chemical reactions would seem to be the best way to avoid these problems.

Key term(s)
  • bio-encapsulation

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technique biologique
DEF

Action de placer des enzymes ou des cellules dans des petites capsules munies de membranes [, ce qui] permet de prolonger l'action d'un biocatalyseur en l'isolant du milieu environnant.

CONT

On sait depuis plusieurs années «stabiliser» enzymes et cellules entières gràce à l'immobilisation (par adsorption, co-réticulation, piégeage, encapsulation). Du point de vue des méthodes expérimentales, il suffisait de parcourir les posters présentés pour se rendre compte de la variété des techniques d'immobilisation utilisées par les laboratoires européens.

Record 6 1998-12-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

Encapsulation of a borrowed program in a protected sub-system is done with a different goal than confinement of a borrowed program within a compartment; encapsulation may be used to limit the access a borrowed program has to the borrower's data.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
DEF

Relation entre un objet de gestion et ses attributs et son comportement, qui se caractérise par le fait que les attributs et le comportement peuvent être observés uniquement par le biais d'opérations de gestion portant sur cet objet ou de notifications envoyées par lui.

Record 10 1986-07-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
DEF

The process in which a material, or an assembly of small, discrete units, is coated with, or embedded in, a molten film, sheath, or foam, usually of an elastomer. A foam-forming plastic may be used to fill the spaces between various electrical or electronic components so that they are embedded in and supported by the foam. Plastics and other materials used for this purpose are often called potting compounds. A specialized use of this technique is growing crystals for semiconductors, in which a coating of liquid boric oxide is the encapsulating agent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
  • Semi-conducteurs (Électronique)
DEF

Opération permettant d'enrober un objet, ses constituants, ainsi que des particules de matières, d'un revêtement destiné soit à modifier les propriétés des surfaces de l'objet enrobé, soit à protéger celui-ci contre les influences extérieures. (Cette technique est utilisé pour les circuits intégrés, les enzymes immobilisés, etc.)
