Abstract: An image processing device includes an image processing unit, a UI unit, a VPN processing unit, and a housing. The image processing unit includes a printer and/or a scanner. The UI unit is the target of an input action performed by the user. The VPN processing unit connects to a VPN using authentication information obtained through the UI unit. The image processing unit, the UT unit, and the VPN processing unit are provided to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a PAK1 blocking compound having a much higher bioavailability and cell permeability than traditional herbal PAK1 blockers or synthetic PAK1 blockers, and the uses thereof for treating cancer or other PAK1 dependent diseases or disorders. This PAK1 blocking compound comprises an ester of an acidic PAK1 blocker, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This PAK1-blocking ester may be prepared by esterifying a PAK1 blocker starting material with an alcohol; and treating the esterified PAK1 blocker with an aromatic azide to generate a 1,2,3-triazolyl derivative.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing n-propyl acetate, which is capable of obtaining high-purity allyl acetate with a low amount of coexisting water and is capable of producing n-propyl acetate with a high yield. The method includes an extraction process of subjecting a raw material liquid containing allyl acetate and water to an extraction operation using water as an extraction solvent and separating the extract into an oily phase and an aqueous phase, a distillation process of distilling the oily phase to obtain a distillate containing allyl acetate as a main component, and a hydrogenation process of subjecting the distillate to a hydrogenation reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds of formula (I) and methods for their use and preparation. In particular, the invention relates to substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine based compounds which can be used in treating proliferative disorders, use of these compounds in methods of therapy and the manufacture of medicaments as well as compositions containing these compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of AG879 and its derivatives as kinase inhibitors. The molecules can be used, per se, as inhibitors, or they can be used in connection with screening assays to identify modifiers of kinase activity.

Abstract: This invention provides for a mechanism to reverse the activated Ras induced malignant transformation of mammalian cells by use of certain peptides. Specifically, the anti-oncogenic protein fragments of the Neurofibromatosis type 1 protein (NF1) were found to reverse, inhibit, or otherwise interfere with the malignant transformation of V-HaRas induced transformed cells. The invention further identifies several specific fragments of the NF1 protein which are capable of reversing activated Ras induced transformation, including the NF338, NF91, NF78 and NF56 protein fragments. The invention also provides for nucleic acid molecules, cell lines, and expression vectors associated with the NF1 fragments, in addition to protein complexes of the NF1 and Ras proteins. A method for screening molecules which are capable of reversing activated Ras induced transformation is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector terminal includes a sleeve (6); a plurality of pins (7) disposed equidistance from a center within the sleeve to form a receiving aperture (9); a plurality of filler rods (8) disposed between the sleeve and the pins; and an optical fiber (10) inserted into and bonded to the receiving aperture.
