  • Publication number: 20160122323
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, prodrugs, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the inventive compounds or compositions for treating or preventing proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, Ewing's sarcoma, osteosarcoma, brain cancer, neuroblastoma, lung cancer), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) in a subject. Treatment of a subject with a proliferative disease using a compound or composition of the invention may inhibit the aberrant activity of a kinase, such as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) (e.g., cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7)), and therefore, induce cellular apoptosis and/or inhibit transcription in the subject.

  • Patent number: 8726237
    Abstract: Many computer applications involve event driven programming. Unfortunately, it may be burdensome on application developers to develop event handlers in unmanaged code for all relevant events within their computer application. For example, when using COM objects in connection with event handling, the burden of lifetime management may be placed on the application developer. Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for event handling in unmanaged code are disclosed herein. A delegate comprising a first interface and a second interface is provided. The delegate may receive event data from a software platform connected to the first interface and may notify a function of a process connected to the second interface. The delegate self destructs when both the computing platform and the process have released their connections to the respective interfaces, thus mitigating manual coding of lifetime management functionality within the process.

  • Patent number: 8593463
    Abstract: Many computer applications incorporate and support animation (e.g., interactive user interfaces). Unfortunately, it may be challenging for computer applications and rendering systems to render animation frames at a smooth and consistent rate while conserving system resources. Accordingly, a technique for controlling animation rendering frame rate of an application is disclosed herein. An animation rendering update interval of an animation timer may be adjusted based upon a rendering system state (e.g., a rate of compositing visual layouts from animation frames) of a rendering system and/or an application state (e.g., a rate at which an application renders frames) of an application. Adjusting the animation rendering update interval allows the animation timer to adjust the frequency of performing rendering callback notifications (work requests to an application to render animation frames) to an application based upon rendering system performance and application performance.

  • Patent number: 8304451
    Abstract: In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents and efficient methods for the synthesis thereof, the present invention provides novel inhibitors of histone deacetylases, tubulin deacetylases, and/or aggresome inhibitors, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives thereof. The inventive compounds fall into two classes—“isotubacin” class and “isoisotubacin” class—all of which include a 1,3-dioxane core. The present invention further provides methods for treating disorders regulated by histone deacetylase activity, tubulin deacetylase activity, and/or the aggresome (e.g., proliferative diseases, cancer, inflammatory diseases, protozoal infections, protein degradation disorders, protein deposition disorders, etc.) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inventive compound to a subject in need thereof. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20110096076
    Abstract: Many computer applications incorporate and support animation. Application performance may be enhanced by delegating animation management to an application program interface (animation API) for animation. Accordingly, an animation API for managing animation is disclosed herein. The animation API may be configured to sequentially interpolate values of animation variables defining animation movement of animation objects. The animation API may interpolate the values of the animation variables using animation transitions within animation storyboards. The animation API may be configured to determine durations of animation transitions based upon animation characteristics parameters (e.g., starting position, desiring ending position, starting velocity of an animation variable). Durations and start times of animation transitions may be determined based upon key frames. The animation API may be configured to resolve scheduling conflicts among one or more animation transitions.
