Abstract:
Compounds which inhibit the activity of anti-apoptotic Mcl-1 protein, compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treating diseases involving overexpressed or unregulated Mcl-1 protein are disclosed.
Abstract:
A pigment dispersing polymer comprising a backbone having one or more urea groups and having polymeric side chains extending therefrom. The dispersing polymer may be formed from the reaction of a compound having one or more carbodiimide groups with acid functional resins such as acid functional polyesters, acid functional acrylics, acid functional polyethers, and fatty acids.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting and receiving an audio/video data, and a method of communication between a first mobile communication apparatus and a second mobile communication apparatus using audio/video data are provided. An audio/video data to be transmitted is selected via the first mobile communication apparatus. Next, the audio/video data is transformed into at least one data packet via the first mobile communication apparatus based on a permitted data flow specified by PHS. Next, the packet data is transmitted via the first communication apparatus. Thereafter, the data packet is received via the second mobile communication apparatus where the data packet is transformed into the audio/video data.
Abstract:
N-Benzoyl arylsulfonamides having the formula: are BCL-X1 inhibitors and are useful for promoting apoptosis. Also disclosed are BCL-X1 inhibiting compositions and methods of promoting apoptosis in a mammal.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for treating substrates are disclosed. The compositions are generally described as epoxy-novolac resins containing a Mannich derivatized bisphenol side chain. The methods, which comprise contacting the surface to be treated with these compositions, improve the corrosion resistance and/or adhesion properties of the treated surface.
Abstract:
An apparatus, thermal storage system and method for heat exchange using a tube-type heat exchanger. A rod (24) or rods (24, 24') are propelled to move over the inner surface (7) of the tube (1). The moving rod (24) is in contact with a first process liquid which is adjacent the inner surface (7) as a falling film or by flooding the interior of the tube (1). The flooded mode is particularly useful where the tube (24) is non-vertical or the heat exchanger is used to make an ice slurry for HVAC systems serving high-rise buildings. Multiple such rod (24) and tube (1) assemblies are operated simultaneously using a drive plate (22) powered to execute an orbital motion in a plane generally orthogonal to the rods (24, 24'). In one form the plate (22) is coupled via a crank (40) to equiangularly spaced rods (24, 24') in each tube (1). The rods (24, 24') are preferably mounted to be movable radially, for example suspended through holes (23) in, and driven by, a plate (22) to execute an orbital motion or at recesses (49, 49') in the rod (24) in radially directed slots (48, 48') in an arm (46) rotated by a tube-mounted crank (40).
