  • Publication number: 20140093490
    Abstract: The present invention investigate the two modes of glutamate release and the releasing rate of glutamate, and thus can provide a useful technique for neuron protection and acceleration of neurotransmission by controlling the glutamate release in astroctye. Thus, the present invention provides an inhibitor of the fast-mode release and/or the slow-mode release of astrocytic glutamate, a screening method of the inhibitor and a pharmaceutical composition or method of ameliorating, preventing and/or treating the disease associated with the over-release of glutamate via the Ca2+-activated anion channel, with the inhibition of fast-mode glutamate release.

  • Publication number: 20140017203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant adenovirus expressing an ?A-crystallin gene, and gene therapy for retinal vascular disease using the recombinant adenovirus. Gene therapy using the recombinant adenovirus comprising an ?A-crystallin gene of the present invention increases the expression level of the ?A-crystallin gene in the damaged retinal pericytes to suppress pericyte loss and death, retinal vascular leakage, and leukocyte adhesion surrounding retinal vessels, thereby protecting the pericytes. Therefore, it can be used for the prevention and treatment of various retinal vascular diseases including diabetic retinopathy.

  • Publication number: 20110227838
    Abstract: A flat panel display integrated with a touch screen panel. The connecting patterns, which connect adjacent first sensing cells and adjacent second sensing cells are formed on the same level of the lower surface of the upper substrate of the flat panel display of the same material as metal patterns formed around the edge of the touch screen panel, and by arranging the connecting patterns not to cross each other. The flat panel display panel can also be integrated with a touch screen having improved visibility by forming the touch screen panel on the upper substrate of the flat panel display such that connecting patterns are formed in the regions between the pixels.

  • Patent number: 7660059
    Abstract: Provided are a method of improving a recording performance of a hard disk drive (HDD) by controlling write strength according to a flying height of a head and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer-readable program suitable for the method. The method of controlling write strength of the HDD includes calculating the flying height of the head before starting a recording operation and controlling the write strength according to the calculated flying height. Accordingly, optimal writing can be performed by the write strength according to the head flying height.

  • Patent number: 7633572
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a first substrate having an array of wiring lines and pixel regions. The pixel regions have pixel electrodes, thin film transistors with drain electrodes, and storage capacitors. The LCD also includes a second substrate having color filters, black matrices, opened regions to receive external light positioned in regions in which the black matrices are not positioned, and transparent common electrodes. Liquid crystal is between the first and second substrates. The opened regions correspond to first regions in which the drain electrodes and the pixel electrodes are connected and second regions in which the storage capacitors are positioned. In one embodiment, the liquid is driven in a normally white mode when the LCD is driven in a transmissive mode, and is driven in a normally black mode when the LCD is driven in a reflective mode.

  • Publication number: 20090274080
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method or unifying operations of a plurality of boards in a CDMA communication system by using logical addresses of the boards. Conventionally, since a board with a physical slot ID must be attached to a slot of the system corresponding to the physical slot ID, the board cannot be recognized by the system if it is attached to another slot of the system. In the present invention, a board is attached to a slot of the system on the basis of a logical address of the board, which is stored in a board configuration information. According to the present invention, since a board can be attached to any slot of the system regardless of the physical slot ID of the board, the boards can be easily managed.
