  • Publication number: 20230295165
    Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein: Y is selected from C or N; X is selected from O or S; R1 is selected from hydrogen or methyl; Z is CR2R3, wherein R2 and R3 are each independently selected from hydrogen and (1-5C)alkyl, or R2 and R3 are taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached to form a cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl ring; Z1 is selected from CR4R5, O, S, C(O) or NR6, wherein R4 and R5 are each independently selected from hydrogen, OH, (1-5C)alkyl and phenyl, or R4 and R5 are taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached to form a cyclopropyl ring, and R6 is selected from hydrogen and (1-5C)alkyl, provided that one, but not both, of Z and Z1 is CH2.

  • Publication number: 20230286987
    Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein: Y is selected from C or N; X is O; bond a is a single or double bond; x is 1 when a is a single bond and x is 0 when a is a double bond; R1 is selected from hydrogen and methyl; R2 (when present) is selected from hydrogen and methyl; R3 is selected from hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl and (1-6C)alkyl-phenyl, wherein said phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more (for example 1 to 3) substituents each independently selected from hydroxy, (1-6C)alkoxy, (1-6C)alkyl and halo (such as chloro and fluoro).

  • Patent number: 11586431
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform self-dependent upgrades of Java Runtime Environments (JREs). A request to update a plugin to a new version with a new configuration that includes a location to download a new upgrader-executable is received from a platform computing device at an endpoint computing device. The plugin is uploaded to the new version. The new upgrader-executable that includes an executable with an executable table executed by the plugin is downloaded from the location. The executable is used to halt execution of a JRE application (e.g., a Collector) and download JRE files required for the upgrade. The JRE application (e.g., the Collector) is then re-started with the new configuration, which can be rolled back if the upgrade is unsuccessful.

  • Publication number: 20170008496
    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a vehicle cleaning apparatus includes a trackway comprising a plurality of transversely extending members which are spaced longitudinally along the trackway. The trackway comprises a raised section comprising a first set of the transversely extending members, and a ramp arranged to allow the vehicle to travel between the raised section and a lower end of the ramp. The ramp comprises a second set of the transversely extending members. The first set of the transversely extending members comprises a first subset and a second subset of the transversely extending members. The transversely extending members of the first subset are raised with respect to those in the second subset. The second set of the transversely extending members comprises a third subset and a fourth subset of the transversely extending members. The transversely extending members of the third subset are raised with respect to those in the fourth subset.

  • Patent number: 6619815
    Abstract: A low-profile light fixture for use in recreational vehicles includes an elongated housing extending along the length of the light fixture, at least one elongated lighting element having at least one electrical connector, and at least one electrical power socket shaped to electrically connect with the electrical connector to supply electrical power to the lighting element. The light fixture also includes an elongated ballast cover extending along the light fixture adjacent the lighting element, and having a raised portion defining a channel between the housing and the ballast cover. The channel is adapted to receive wiring associated with the light fixture therein. The ballast cover further having at least one reflector portion extending between the housing the lighting element. The electrical power sockets of the light fixture are configured to such that the lighting element extends further away from the housing than the raised portion of the ballast cover.
