Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

The hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aberrant regulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a plurality of heat convection fins, first and second parallel U-shaped fluid tubes, and a fitting. Each of the first and second fluid tubes comprises a pair of leg portions and a U-turn portion that operatively connects the leg portions. The leg portions of the first fluid tube extend through at least some of the heat convection fins. The leg portions of the second fluid tube extend through at least some of the heat convection fins. The fitting comprises first and second female sockets. The first female socket is crimped to one of the leg portions of the first fluid tube. The second female socket is crimped to one of the leg portions of the second fluid tube. The fitting operatively connects the first and second fluid tubes.

Compounds which can inhibit the function of the NS5A protein having the structure of formula I are described wherein R, R?, R1, R2, and R3 are as defined in the specification. The other compounds having anti-HCV activity are effective to inhibit the function of a target selected from the group consisting of HCV metalloprotease, HCV serine protease, HCV polymerase, HCV helicase, HCV NS4B protein, HCV entry, HCV assembly, HCV egress, HCV NS5A protein, IMPDH and a nucleoside analog for the treatment of an HCV infection.

Abstract: A chaos router system for routing messages between connected nodes in a multicomputer or multiprocessor system is disclosed. In such a system, a message may be routed between nodes along a preferred channel so that it is closer to its destination or derouted between nodes along a random channel so that it is further from its destination. The chaos router system explicitly randomizes message selection during derouting. In an asynchronous multicomputer system, the router system keeps the overall system chaotic. In this manner, the system is probabilistically livelock free.
