Granted: 2010-12-29
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un champ magnétique est appliqué pour planariser des flocons de pigment magnétique relativement à une surface. Dans beaucoup d'applications, les flocons de pigment tendent à s'aligner parallèlement les uns aux autres et à la surface sur laquelle ils sont appliqués. Dans certaines opérations d'impression, les flocons de pigment appliqués parallèlement au substrat sont tirés hors plan lorsque l'impression écran ou la matrice d'impression est détachée du substrat. Si les flocons de pigment présentent une structure magnétique appropriée, un champ magnétique peut être appliqué de façon à aligner subséquemment les flocons ou améliorer leur alignement dans le plan du substrat pour autant que le véhicule dans lequel les flocons son dispersés soit toujours liquide. On améliore ainsi la qualité visuelle de l'image imprimée, en particulier avec des pigments optiquement variables.

Abstract: Data is estimated from a received vector comprising a plurality of communications. A received wireless signal is converted to a baseband signal, which is sampled to produce a received vector. Channel responses are estimated for the received communications. The noise variance is estimated. The noise variance is scaled by a scaling factor. Samples are processed using the estimated channel responses and the scaled noise variance to produce a spread data vector. The spread data vector is despread to recover the data of the received wireless signal.

Abstract: Using a protein associated with myc (PAM) (I) or its functional fragments or derivatives for the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds, for modulation of pain and for identifying compounds that modulate pain, is new. An independent claim is also included for PAM or its functional fragment for the use as medicament for the prevention or treatment of pain. ACTIVITY : Analgesic. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity (claimed). In vitro analysis of the activity of protein associated with myc (PAM) in inhibiting adenylyl cyclase activity was carried out as follows. The sense or antisense oligonucleotides of PAM were infused through a catheter at a flow rate of 0.05-0.1 mu l/minute for 100 hours using a microinfusion pump, into rats. Within 15 minutes after stopping the infusion, the formalin test was performed. For induction of an inflammation, Zymosan A was injected subcutaneously. Rats were killed by cardiac puncture under deep isoflurane anesthesia 24-96 hours after Zymosan injection. The lumbar spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia were excised, and subjected to analysis. The result indicated an inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity in the spinal cord lysates of the sense strand treated rats, and an increase in adenylyl cyclase activity in the antisense treated rats.
