  • Patent number: 10023915
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening for a cancer treatment agent by contacting a test material with pancreatic adenocarcinoma upregulated factor (PAUF) and GLRX3, SNAPIN, or UBL4A, as a binding partner for PAUF, and then analyzing whether or not the test material inhibits the binding of the PAUF and GLRX3, SNAPIN, or UBL4A serving as a binding partner therefor, thereby determining that the test material is a cancer treatment agent if the binding is inhibited. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing the test material as an active ingredient for inhibiting and treating cancer. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, which contains, as an active ingredient, an inhibitor for inhibiting PAUF from binding with a binding partner, effectively inhibits PAUF signaling related to the onset of cancer, thus enabling various kinds of cancer (especially pancreatic cancer) to be treated.

  • Patent number: 8300744
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for rejecting images in a receiver. The apparatus of the present invention relates to an apparatus for rejecting image signals in a receiver of a direct conversion structure and comprises a signal mismatch compensation unit configured to detect gain error and phase error between an In-phase (I) signal and a Quadrature (Q) signal received through the receiver, to reject image signals existing in the I and Q signals, and to output a result. The signal mismatch compensation unit detects the gain error and the phase error using an adaptive step method of reducing the step size of the gain error and the phase error step by step whenever the gain error and the phase error are converged. According to the present invention, high image rejection ratio is achieved and the adaptation time taken to obtain a high image rejection ratio is reduced simultaneously.
