Abstract:
The invention provides N-cyclic sulfonamido compounds and salts of Formula I: wherein A is as described in the specification and R1 and R2 combine to form a [3.3.1] or a [3.2.1] ring system, where the nitrogen is attached to the two bridgehead carbons, and the [3.3.1] or [3.2.1] ring systems are optionally fused with an heteroaryl or heterocycloalkyl ring. Compounds of Formula I are useful in treating or preventing cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's Disease. The invention also encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula I, methods of treating cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, and the intermediates useful in preparing the compounds of Formula I.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds that are bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists and are useful for treating diseases, or relieving adverse symptoms associated with disease conditions, in mammals mediated by bradykinin B1 receptor. Certain of the compounds exhibit increased potency and are also expected to exhibit increased duration of action.
Abstract:
Various exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods include or allow for executing a software module on an execution engine, emitting semantic information based on the executing, and analyzing the executing using the semantic information. An exemplary execution engine includes an input for receiving software modules, an output for emitting semantic information, and an output for outputting generated output information. Upon execution, an exemplary software module may cause processing of information in a metadirectory and emitting of semantic information pertaining to the processing. Various exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods emit and/or store semantic information in a self-defining language, an extensible language, and/or a markup language. Other exemplary metadirectories, systems, and/or methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of formulae (I) and (II) that are bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists and are useful for treating diseases, or relieving adverse symptoms associated with disease conditions, in mammals mediated by bradykinin B1 receptor. Certain of the compounds exhibit increased potency and are also expected to exhibit increased duration of action. Wherein Z is selected from O, S and NH; Q of formula (III) and the other substituents are as defined in claim 1.
Abstract:
A method of extracting key frames from a video sequence, which video sequence comprises MPEG compressed video data having block motion vectors. The method initially partially decompresses (202) the MPEG compressed video data to obtain block motion vectors and converts (204) the block motion vectors to forward block motion vectors. The method then generates (206) global motion signals and generates (306) dominant global direction clusters. The method then selects (402,404,406) potential key frames of the video sequence using the generated dominant global direction clusters. The method lastly decompresses (408) the selected key frames to obtain the extracted key frames.
