Publication number: 20110177526Abstract: An isolated polynucleotide encodes JAK-3 protein. JAK-3 protein is a protein tyrosine kinase having a molecular weight of approximately 125 kDa which has tandem non-identical catalytic domains, lacks SH2 or SH3 domains, and is expressed in NK cells and stimulated or transformed T cells, but not in resting T cells. The protein itself and antibodies to this protein are also presented. Further, methods of identifying therapeutic agents for modulating the immune system make use of the foregoing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2011Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, DEPT., OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICESInventors: John J.

Patent number: 7639304Abstract: An image pickup device designed to always ensure improved facility with which an object is recognized even in a manual exposure control mode. The image pickup device includes an exposure control device capable of being selectively set in one of an automatic mode and a manual mode, and an operating member for starting processing and storage of an image signal. In this image pickup device, to achieve the above-mentioned effect, an image obtained in the automatic mode is displayed immediately before the operation of the operating member even in a case where photographing is performed in the manual mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masaru Kawamura

Patent number: 7626613Abstract: Auto focus control processing for still image recording is performed while continuously performing movie recording when an initiation instruction for a still image recording preparation process is issued during movie recording. Movie recording is interrupted to perform still image recording processing only when an initiation instruction for still image recording processing is detected during movie recording. In addition, in the auto focus control for still image recording during movie recording, focus detection is performed within a distance range that is narrower than the distance range during auto focus control performed for normal still image recording.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masaru Kawamura
