20090215867Cancer-Cell-Specific Cell Proliferation Inhibitors - The present inventors discovered that although suppressing expression of the RecQ1 gene, a RecQ helicase family gene, shows suppressive effects on cell proliferation in cancer cells, such effects are not observed in human TIG3 cells (a normal diploid fibroblast cell line), which are normal cells. Hence, the present inventors discovered that siRNAs against RecQ1 gene have cancer cell-specific cell proliferation-suppressing effects that are mediated by suppression of the expression of said gene.08-27-2009
20100168209APOPTOSIS INDUCER FOR CANCER CELL - The present invention revealed that by suppressing the expression of the WRN gene, the BLM gene, or the RecQ1 gene, which belong to the RecQ helicase family, apoptosis is induced in various cancer cells and their proliferation is suppressed. Compounds that suppress the expression of RecQ helicase family genes or the functions of RecQ helicase proteins are thought to have the activity of inducing apoptosis.07-01-2010

20100141242MAGNETIC ENCODER - To disclose a magnetic encoder being subjected to only small gap variation between a magnetic sensor element and a magnetic medium and readily assembled, and having a smaller number of components, high sliding resistance, and high stability against outside force, such as shock or the like. The magnetic sensor holding mechanism has a swirling spring plate structure having elasticity with respect to rotation around a rotation axis in a reciprocative slide relative movement direction, elasticity with respect to rotation around a rotation axis in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocative relative movement direction and in parallel to the magnetic medium, and elasticity in the direction perpendicular to the sensor element. A load between 50 mN and 80 mN is applied to press onto the magnetic medium.06-10-2010

20080212939Communication apparatus - A mobile terminal includes a storage unit which stores content data which contains sequential content, a playback unit which plays back the content data stored in the storage unit, and a control unit connected to the storage unit and the playback unit, and the control unit executes the following control. That is, when a playback restart request is issued for the interrupted content data, whether a synopsis needs to be played back is determined based on a predetermined synopsis playback condition. When it is determined that the synopsis needs to be played back, the playback unit plays back synopsis data corresponding to the content data before an interruption position, and plays back the content data from the interruption position.09-04-2008

20110062835IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING SUPPORTING LEGS - An apparatus or an image forming apparatus including a main body having a first supporting leg configured to be connectable to the main body, a second supporting leg fixed to the main body, and the position of the main body to connect the first supporting leg is selectable. The apparatus may be stable on the installation surface if the center of gravity of the apparatus is transformed.03-17-2011
