20120058931Drug target that promotes secretory granule-granule fusion - Munc18 proteins facilitate formation of SNARE complexes known to mediate membrane fusion. Much is known about the fusion of secretory granule (SG) to plasma membrane, mediated by Munc18a-SNARE complexes. It has been found that another Munc18 isoform, Munc18b, mediates SG-SG fusion which causes potentiation of secretion. The present invention has identified specific site mutations within Munc18b which further increased (called KR mutant) or reduced (called E59K mutant) SG-SG fusion compared to wild type (WT) Munc18b, causing amplification or reduction of insulin secretion, respectively. Compounds identified that mimic the actions of Munc18b-WT and Munc18b-KR mutant which increase SG-SG fusion, and those which mimic Munc18b-E59K mutant that block SG-SG fusion, are useful for treating and/or preventing diseases and/or conditions, whose underlying bases are a deficiency or excess of SG-SG fusion, respectively. These compounds also include conserved domains in Munc18a and Munc18c that mimic the KR and E59K sites in Munc18b.03-08-2012

20090254696SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION FOR SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - The semiconductor IC has a nonvolatile memory including twin cells, a selector, and a sense circuit. When complementary data are written into a pair of nonvolatile memory cells of each twin cell, the pair of nonvolatile memory cells is set to be in a written state where one cell of the pair is set to one of low and high threshold voltages, and the other is set to the other threshold voltage.

20110122233IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - An image pickup apparatus includes: an image pickup unit; a first connection unit that allows a stereoscopic shooting interchangeable lens and an ordinary shooting interchangeable lens to be selectively attached thereto so that an image of a subject can be formed on the image pickup unit; a second connection unit that allows a finder including two display units corresponding to a right eye and a left eye, the finder being capable of displaying a plurality of images, and a finder including a single display unit, the finder being capable of displaying a single image, to be selectively attached thereto; and a display control unit that controls display of an image picked up by the image pickup unit on the finder, based on at least one of information on the interchangeable lens connected to the first connection unit and information on the finder connected to the second connection unit.05-26-2011
20120008923SHOOTING APPARATUS - A shooting apparatus includes: a stop/resumption determination unit that determines stop and resumption of recording of a moving image being shot by an image pickup unit provided in a shooting apparatus body; an unnecessary part determination unit that determines an unnecessary part of the moving image based on at least one of a state change of the shooting apparatus body and a state change of the moving image; and a recording control unit that records, as a single video file, the moving image except a moving image part corresponding to a stop period from the stop to the resumption and a moving image part determined as the unnecessary part.01-12-2012

20090125928INFORMATION RECORDING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an information recording apparatus, such as a digital camera, arranged to record information on a detachably mountable storage medium, such as for example to record video data on the storage medium. In one version of the apparatus, when a connection of an AC adapter is cancelled, the storage medium is detected by a storage medium detection unit, and in a case where the storage medium is not mounted to the mounting unit, a warning is issued, for example in an audio output unit or a display unit. Accordingly, the user can find out that the storage medium is not mounted before the digital camera has been brought outside for use. Thus, it may be possible to prevent a failure in which the user first realizes that they forgot to mount the storage medium only when they are already away from home.05-14-2009

20080310492Parameter Adjustment Device and Parameter Adjustment Method - Transmission equipment that can be used up to a high frequency and simplifies a circuit design includes a THP preceding means on a transmitting side, and an equalizer means, wherein analog processing is carried out on a receiving side. Compensation of the frequency characteristic of a transmission channel is divided into the THP preceding means on the transmitting side and the equalizer means, so that due to compensation by the equalizer circuit, the absolute value of a THP coefficient becomes small, and a DAC with lower resolution, wherein stability of a loop of the THP increases, can be used. Detailed adjustment for adapting to the characteristic of a transmission channel is carried out by the THP, so that the equalizer circuit is only required to roughly compensate, and is not required to adjust. As a result, the equalizer circuit can be of a simple design.12-18-2008
