Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of atazanavir bisulfate, an inhibitor of retroviral aspartate protease. The process of the present invention comprises conversion of 1,1-dimethylethyl[(2S,3R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxy-phenylbutan-2-yl]carbamate (Formula II) into 1-[4-(pyridine-2-yl)-phenyl]-4(S)-5 hydroxy-2-N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5(S)—N—(N-methoxycarbonyl-(L)-tert-leucyl)amino-6-phenyl-2-azahexane (Formula VII) without isolating intermediate compounds formed therein, followed by its subsequent conversion to atazanavir or its bisulfate salt.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for detecting the presence of one or more pedestrians in the vicinity of the vehicle is disclosed. Imagery of a scene is received from at least one image capturing device. A depth map is derived from the imagery. A plurality of pedestrian candidate regions of interest (ROIs) is detected from the depth map by matching each of the plurality of ROIs with a 3D human shape model. At least a portion of the candidate ROIs is classified by employing a cascade of classifiers tuned for a plurality of depth bands and trained on a filtered representation of data within the portion of candidate ROIs to determine whether at least one pedestrian is proximal to the vehicle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of treating cancer in a human and to pharmaceutical combinations useful in such treatment. In particular, the method relates to a cancer treatment method that includes administering N-{3-[5-(2-Amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and N-{(1S)-2-amino-1-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]ethyl}-5-chloro-4-(4-chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2-furancarboxamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a human in need thereof.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for evaluating a content segment for relevancy to several of categories. The method retrieves the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method determines the relevancy of the content segment to the category by using a scoring model for the category. The scoring model accounts for (i) the presence of key word sets in the content segment and (ii) the context of the key word sets in the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method tags the content segment when the content segment is determined as relevant to the category.

A method of forming a wafer level package may also be provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for the preparation of some novel multiconjugated 2- or 4-hydroxy substituted stilbenes. The method provides one pot multicomponent approach wherein 3-4 step reaction sequences viz. condensation, decarboxylation and Heck coupling occur simultaneously which results in an enhanced yield of desired products and reduced reaction times.
Abstract:
A method for reversing gelation of hydrophobically modified biopolymer attached to vesicle or cell membranes. The gelation of hydrophobically modified biopolymer attached to vesicles or cell membranes is reversed by application of a supramolecule, such as cyclodextrin, to the gelled composition. The supramolecule disrupts the interactions between the hydrophobically modified biopolymer and the vesicle or cell membrane, without affecting the structure of the membrane or the hydrophobically modified polymer to which the hydrophobic substituents are attached. A kit for treating wounds that includes a hydrophobically modified biopolymer and a supramolecule. The hydrophobically modified biopolymer is used to stop bleeding and the supramolecule is used to remove the hydrophobically modified biopolymer.
