Abstract: Le groupe c-Jun NH¿2?-terminal kinase (JNK) de protéines kinases associées aux membranes est activé par exposition de cellules à une contrainte liée à l'environnement. Le rôle de JNK dans le cerveau a été examiné par rupture ciblée du gène codant l'isoforme neuronal JNK3. On a découvert que JNK3 était nécessaire dans la réponse normale à une crise. L'invention concerne des méthodes de criblage de molécules et de composés réduisant l'expression ou l'activité de JNK3. Ces molécules ou composés s'utilisent dans le traitement de troubles impliquant une excitotoxicité tels que des troubles épileptiques, la maladie d'Alzheimer, la chorée de Huntington, la maladie de Parkinson et l'ischémie.

Patent CA-2336156-C (CA)

Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A method for steam-cooking shrimp at reduced temperatures below 100°C  to decrease the loss of shrimp by weight during the cooking process. An exemplary apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention includes a steam cooker with a conveyor belt for continuously transporting shrimp product into and through a cooking chamber open to the atmosphere. Thermostatic controls allow the temperature of the cooking chamber to be adjusted for the proper cooking time depending on the size of the shrimp and their loaded density.  The cooking chamber contains a substantially homogeneous gaseous environment of a steam mixture for even cooking. Adjusting the speed of the conveyor belt can control the dwell time of the shrimp in the cooking chamber. Results of testing have shown that, to heat shrimp to an internal temperature of 62.8°C (a temperature sufficient to kill substantially all bacteria), lower cooking temperatures and longer cooking times than conventionally practiced decrease the loss of weight in cooked shrimp product.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for down-converting an electromagnetic (EM) signal by aliasing the EM signal are described herein. Briefly stated, such methods, systems, and apparatuses operate by receiving an EM signal and an aliasing signal having an aliasing rate. The EM signal is abased according to the aliasing signal to down-convert the EM signal. The term aliasing, as used herein, refers to both down converting an EM signal by under-sampling the EM signal at an aliasing rate, and down-converting an EM signal by transferring energy from the EM signal at the aliasing rate. In an embodiment, the EM signal is down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. In another embodiment, the EM signal is down-converted to a demodulated baseband information signal. In another embodiment, the EM signal is a frequency modulated (FM) signal, which is down-converted to a non-FM signal, such as a phase modulated (PM) signal or an amplitude modulated (AM) signal.
