Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds that are inhibitors of the 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1 enzyme. The present invention further relates to the use of inhibitors of 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1 enzyme for the treatment of non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, lipid disorders, metabolic syndrome and other diseases and conditions that are mediated by excessive glucocorticoid action.

Abstract: An inspecting apparatus for a semiconductor device includes a match plate; a contact module combined with the match plate and including a radiator to radiate heat from the semiconductor device to the outside and a tester to contact the leads of the semiconductor device; and a heat pipe provided in the radiator. The inspecting apparatus performs testing at a constant temperature, regardless of heat from the semiconductor device, by transferring the heat quickly and efficiently, thereby producing more accurate test results. The apparatus also improves productivity and saves expense by removing faulty test results caused by incorrectly identifying a qualified semiconductor device as a defective semiconductor device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and are useful for the prevention or treatment of diabetes, especially type II diabetes, as well as hyperglycemia, Syndrome X, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, atherosclerosis, and various immunomodulatory diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel methods for using macrolide anti-infective agents. The macrolide anti-infective agents demonstrate antibacterial activity against multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria and, in particular, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods for inhibiting the activity of multi-drug resistant bacterial organisms and methods for treating a bacterial infection caused by such organisms are described herein.

Abstract: A liquid-crystal display device is provided. The liquid-crystal display device comprises a first substrate having a pixel electrode, a signal line, a scanning line, and a driver driving one of the signal line and the scanning line, a second substrate opposing the first substrate and having a common electrode, a liquid-crystal layer formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and a first shield placed opposite the driver so as to shield an electromagnetic wave radiated from the driver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin film transistor, a fabrication method thereof and a liquid crystal display having the thin film transistor, and an object of the present invention is to provide a thin film transistor which improves a fabrication yield, a fabrication method thereof and a liquid crystal display having the thin film transistor.

Abstract: When a thin-film transistor (TFT) is formed on a glass substrate, electric charges caused in the TFT can be removed so as to avoid electrostatic damage in the TFT. A short-circuiting pattern that short-circuits the source region and the drain region of the TFT is added to a polysilicon pattern that constitutes the TFT. This short-circuiting pattern is removed at the same time as or after the wiring formation in the source region and the drain region.
