Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to 5-[[4-[[morpholin-2-yl]methylamino]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridyl]amino]pyrazine-2-carbonitrile compounds (referred to herein as “TFM compounds”) which, inter alia, inhibit Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1) kinase function. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit CHK1 kinase function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by CHK1, that are ameliorated by the inhibition of CHK1 kinase function, etc., including proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc.

Abstract: A melt distribution device (100) including a heat-receiving part (102) and a heater (104). The heater (104) is coupled to the heat-receiving part (102) so to maintain thermal communication between the heater (104) and the heat-receiving part (102). The heater (104) is also coupled to the heat-receiving part (102) so to isolate, at least partially, the heater (104) from receiving stress and strain transmission from the heat-receiving part (102).

Abstract: Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a component of a molding system, and a related method for the manufacture thereof, that has a body with a support matrix defined in at least a portion thereof.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an amount of hydrocarbon fluid present in a rock of a hydrocarbon-producing reservoir is provided. The rock comprises organic matter and porous and permeable inorganic matter. The method comprises the steps of receiving data relating to chemical and kinetic properties of the organic matter, rock lithology data, rock thickness and reservoir temperature and pressure data, inputting the received data into a computer-implemented model, and operating the model. The model operates to a) simulate hydrocarbon fluid generation in the rock based on the input data and thereby determine an amount of generated hydrocarbon fluid, b) generate predicted data, and c) determine a total amount of hydrocarbon fluid present in the rock based on the predicted data.
