  • Publication number: 20240132485
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds with the ability to stimulate/induce ubiquitination of a target protein/target proteins. The compounds of the present invention may stimulate/induce ubiquitination of a target protein/target proteins; i.e. via degradation of a target protein/target proteins by the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL). Such target protein/target proteins may be proteins involved in diseases, like cancer, metabolic disorder, infectious disease and/or neurological disorder. The invention also relates to the compounds and composition for use as medicaments as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. Particularly, the compounds of the present invention may degrade proteins associated with cancer, metabolic disorder, infectious disease and/or neurological disorder.

  • Patent number: 10085538
    Abstract: A hair care appliance including a body having an outer wall and an inner wall, a fluid flow path extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet wherein the fluid outlet is at least partially defined by the inner wall, a heater for heating fluid in the fluid flow path and, a thermistor for measuring the temperature of fluid between the heater and the fluid outlet, wherein the thermistor is retained with respect to a housing and the housing forms part of the inner wall. The housing may comprise a base that engages with the inner wall. The housing may further comprise an arm wherein the arm supports the thermistor and extends radially inwards of the inner wall. The housing may comprise two arms and the thermistor is suspended between the two arms. The inner wall may comprise an aperture into which the housing is inserted.

  • Patent number: 9702470
    Abstract: A valve arrangement comprises first and second valves mechanically interconnected for synchronous operation with one another so as to be switchable by a single action between first and second fluid flow configurations. The first configuration provides a first path for first fluid to flow from a first inlet to a first outlet and a second path for second fluid to flow from a second inlet to a second outlet. The second configuration provides paths for first fluid to flow from the first inlet to both the first and second outlets while closing the path from the second inlet. In one application, the arrangement allows a convenient method of disinfecting a water-consuming appliance such as a shower.

  • Patent number: 8719133
    Abstract: The disclosure herein provides a guaranteed rate of return for a guarantee period of a financial account while at the same time providing upward adjustments to the interest rate if there is a corresponding increase in a specified referenced rate. The guaranteed base interest rate is set at the beginning of the guarantee period, which is credited to an account for an initial pre-defined period. Periodically, the then-current referenced rate is compared to a base referenced rate defined at the establishment of the guarantee period. If the referenced rate has increased, the interest rate that will be credited to the account value will increase by an amount that is based on the amount of increase in the referenced rate. If the referenced rate has not changed or has decreased, the interest rate that will be credited to the account value will be the guaranteed base interest rate.
