  • Patent number: 7329655
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which have inhibitory activity on the phosphorylation of kinases, which inhibits the activity of such kinases. The invention is also related to a method of inhibiting kinases and treating disease states in a mammal by inhibiting the phosphorylation of kinases. In a particular aspect the present invention provides nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which inhibit phosphorylation of a PDGF receptor to hinder abnormal cell growth and cell wandering, and a method for preventing or treating cell-proliferative diseases such as arteriosclerosis, vascular reobstruction, cancer and glomeruloscierosis.

  • Patent number: 7265486
    Abstract: In an LED (Light Emitting Diode) including a cover covering an LED element, the cover is formed using glass having a composition RnSiO2-n/2. The glass according to the present invention is low melting point glass with a softening temperature of ?40° C. to 300° C., melts at lower temperatures compared to conventional glass, and can safely form the cover without damaging the LED element. Since glass has better moisture shield performance and resistance to light compared to epoxy resins, the cover is formed using glass, and consequently deterioration of the LED element and a phosphor caused by moisture is reduced, deterioration of the cover caused by light is reduced, and changes in color and luminous intensity are restrained.

  • Publication number: 20070166824
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for the expansion of non-terminally differentiated cells (“precursor cells”) using agonists of Notch function, by inhibiting the differentiation of the cells without inhibiting proliferation (mitotic activity) such that an expanded population of non-terminally differentiated cells is obtained. The cells are preferably stem or progenitor cells. These expanded cells can be used in cell replacement therapy to provide desired cell populations and help in the regeneration of diseased and/or injured tissues. The expanded cell populations can also be made recombinant and used for gene therapy, or can be used to supply functions associated with a particular precursor cell or its progeny cell.

  • Patent number: 7005086
    Abstract: A fluorescent substance is obtained by weighing and mixing CaS, Ga2S3, EuS and Ce2S3 in a mole ratio of (1-x):a:x:y (wherein 0.001?x?0.2, 0.0001?y?0.02 and 0.5?a?5) and by sintering the mixture. A light-emitting diode comprises an LED chip 2 and an LED chip sealing portion 5, made of silicone resin and including the fluorescent substance, for enclosing the LED chip 2. Hence, a fluorescent substance that is excited by light having a predetermined wavelength to emit light, a light-emitting diode having excellent luminous efficiency and luminous intensity, and a method for producing the fluorescent substance are attained by the present invention.
