  • Publication number: 20250018046
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to compounds of Formula (A): Formula (A), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein DSM is a degradation signaling moiety that is covalently attached to the linker L, L is a linker that covalently attaches IRAK to DSM; and IRAK is an IRAK4 binding moiety represented by Formula (I) that is covalently attached to linker L; Formula (I) in which all of the variables are as defined in the application. Compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as described herein are capable of activating the selective ubiqitination of IRAK4 proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathways (UPP) and cause degradation of IRAK4 proteins. The present disclosure also provides methods of treating disorders responsive to modulation of IRAK4 activity and/or degradation of IRAK4 with at least one compound described herein.

  • Patent number: 10894577
    Abstract: A bicycle drive system includes a front face gear, a rear face gear, a drive shaft, and a front roller-toothed gear assembly coupled to the first end of the drive shaft, and a rear roller-toothed gear assembly coupled to the second end of the drive shaft. Both the front roller-toothed gear assembly and the rear roller-toothed gear assembly include one or more roller elements. The roller-toothed gear assemblies are advantageous in ensuring the bicycle drive system is highly efficient, and is only minimally or not at all affected by dirt, water, contaminants, or other foreign matter typically experienced in un-clean riding conditions.

  • Patent number: 6032131
    Abstract: An automated system and method are provided for accurately modeling spending. In the system and method, invoice information and payment information are received at an interface. A processor, coupled to the interface, automatically generates a distribution in response to the invoice information and the payment information. The generated distribution is automatically transformed by the processor. Spend information for a specified period of time is received at the interface; the spend information specifies a spending amount. The processor automatically spreads the spending amount over the transformed distribution.
