Patent CA-2335105-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCDONALD JOHN R
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: Conjugates containing as a ligand a chemokine receptor targeting agents, such as chemokines, and a targeted agent, such as a toxin are provided. These conjugates are used to treat inflammatory responses associated with activation, proliferation and migration of immune effector cells, including leukocyte cell types, neutrophiles, macrophages, and eosinophils. The conjugates provided herein are used to lessen or inhibit these processes to prevent or at least lessen the resulting secondary effects. In particular, the conjugates are used to target toxins to receptors on secondary tissue damage-promoting cells. The ligand moiety can be selected to deliver the cell toxin to such secondary tissue damage-promoting cells as mononuclear phagocytes, leukocytes, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T and B lymphocytes, thereby suppressing the proliferation, migration, or physiological activity of such cells. Among preferred conjugates are fusion proteins having a chemokine, or a biologically active fragment thereof, as the ligand moiety linked to a cell toxin via a peptide linker of from 2 to about 60 amino acid residues.

Title: Procede et dispositif permettant d'afficher une resolution couleur plus elevee sur un dispositif portatif a cristaux liquides
Inventor: GHALI PRASANNA
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: Une résolution couleur efficace d'un dispositif d'affichage à palette graphique et à mémoire limitée, tel qu'un système (10) de jeu vidéo portatif à affichage à cristaux liquides (LCD 16), peut être améliorée en modifiant les informations de palette graphique pendant le temps d'affichage actif (c'est-à-dire pendant l'intervalle de suppression horizontale (figure 3)) entre le tramage de lignes successives sur le dispositif d'affichage (16). Un sous-ensemble (tl1, tl2) des informations de palette graphique peut être re-écrit durant chaque période de suppression horizontale. Une image source en couleurs pures et en mode point peut être convertie en image palette graphique (Figures. 7A-7C) de manière à optimiser l'utilisation de ces mises à jour de palette graphique. Etant donné que les images photographiques et photoréalistes ne présentent, d'ordinaire, aucun changement brutal de couleur entre les pixels avoisinants, une telle technique peut permettre d'afficher une image couleur à une résolution couleur très élevée (par exemple, une image couleur comprenant pas moins de 2048 couleurs différentes) sur un équipement conçu pour permettre l'affichage simultané de seulement un nombre inférieur de couleurs différentes (par exemple, 56 couleurs simultanément).
