Patent EP-1383870-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PHILIP ANIE
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur une protéine de liaison du TGF-β1 appelée r150. Cette protéine possède une ancre GPI contenue dans r150 et non sur une protéine étroitement associée de façon à fixer le TGF-β1 ayant une affinité comparable à celles des récepteurs de signalisation. De plus, la forme (soluble) libérable de cette protéine fixe le TGF-β1 indépendamment des récepteurs de type I et II. La forme soluble inhibe la liaison du TGF-β à son récepteur. L'invention met également en évidence la libération de r150 de la surface de la cellule par une phospholipase C endogène. L'invention porte également sur la création d'une lignée cellulaire de kératinocytes humains mutants avec un défaut dans la synthèse de GPI qui présente une expression réduite de r150. Les résultats obtenus utilisant ces kératinocytes mutants donnent à penser que la forme ancrée de la membrane de r150 est un modulateur négatif des réponses de TGF-bêta. A travers les recherches et après avoir constaté que r150 forme un complexe hétéromère avec les récepteurs de signalisation, il nous est également donné à penser que ce récepteur accessoire dans sa forme soluble ou ancrée de la membrane peut antagoniser des réponses de TGF-β dans les kératinocytes humains. Des expériences avec des mutants ont confirmé que l'activité de TGFβ1 peut être modulée lorsque l'expression du récepteur accessoire r150 est « silencé ». L'invention porte, en outre, sur des séquences complètes d'acide nucléique et des séquences réduites d'acides aminés. L'acide nucléique cloné par r150 a été utilisé pour étudier la surexpression de r150. Lorsque le gène r150 est surexprimé, les réponses de TGFβ sont accrues. r150 et ses dérivés ou précurseurs (fragments, variants et acides nucléiques les codant) s'avèrent avoir une grande utilité clinique, sachant que TGFβ1 est une importante cytokine.

Abstract: The present invention includes electronic devices having liquid crystal display modules and repositionable front polarizers. A viewer views the display module through a front polarizer, which can be repositioned to change the display appearance, enhance the display contrast, invert the image, increase ambient light exposure, provide privacy, or the like. Repositionable front polarizers can be tiltably and/or rotatably mounted in front of the display module, or can be remotely located, for example on a pair of polarizing eye glasses. The present invention also includes reflective liquid crystal displays that have internal front light guides disposed between a liquid crystal cell and a front polarizer. As such, the light from the front light guide can illuminate the liquid crystal cell without being attenuated by the front polarizer, resulting in a brighter front lit display.

Title: Magnetic ram using thermo-magnetic spontaneous hall effect and method of writing and reading data using the magnetic ram
Inventor: KIM TAE-WAN
IPC: H01L43/06
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: A magnetic RAM using a thermo-magnetic spontaneous hall effect, and a
data writing and reading method using the magnetic RAM are provided. The
magnetic RAM includes a MOS transistor, a memory layer, a heating means, and a
write line. The memory layer is connected to the source of the MOS transistor and
writes data to itself. The heating means heats the memory layer. The write line
applies a magnetic field to the memory layer in order to change the magnetization
state of the heated memory layer. The magnetic RAM can increase the coercivity
caused by highly-integration and improves the thermal security of a cell. The
MRAM can operate at an ultra speed because of a small cell resistance. In addition,
since the magnetic RAM can be simply manufactured by an existing semiconductor
manufacturing process, the manufacturing costs are reduced. Furthermore, since
the magnetic RAM writes or reads data using the fact that a spontaneous hall
voltage greatly differs according to the magneticization state of a memory layer, it
provides a high data sensing margin.
