Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by the Formula I Wherein A1 is a pyridinyl of the formula optionally substituted by one or more Rk selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, thioalkyl, haloalkyl, cyano, amino alkylamino, halogen, acylamino, sulfonamide and —COR; and R is hydroxy, alkoxy, alkyl or amino; and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula I, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the ?v?3 and/or ?v?5 integrin.

Abstract: A method for testing upgrades and modifications to a first transmission network by providing a second internet transmission network including components that duplicate or simulate one or more of the components of the first network. The second network duplicates the functionality and configuration of the first network thereby permitting modifications to be installed and tested on the second network prior to installing them on the first transmission network. This in turn allows “bugs” to be found and eliminated before modifications are used on the first network. The invention also allows error signals to be injected to enable operators to compensate for and to avoid these errors before they appear on the first network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the ?V?3 and/or the ?V?5 integrin without significantly inhibiting the ?V?6 integrin.

Abstract: A method of detecting a version of input data content, there being a plurality of different versions of said data content, in which: said data content is arranged as two or more segments according to a segmentation pattern; and said versions of said data content are identifiable by corresponding identification data patterns by which at least some of said segments have respective identification data; said method comprising the steps of: (i) detecting said identification data in respect of said segments of said input data content; (ii) comparing said detected identification data with said identification data patterns corresponding to said different versions of said data content; and (iii) detecting that said input data content comprises at least a contribution from a certain version of said data content if a sum of matches obtained between said detected identification data and said identification data pattern for said certain version exceeds a threshold number.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by the Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula I, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the ?v?3 and/or the ?v?5 integrin without significantly inhibiting the ?v?6 integrin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by the Formula 1. or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula 1, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the &agr;v&bgr;3 and/or the &agr;v&bgr;5 integrin.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards the hybrid combination of a drop gate injection molding system and a lattice gate. The lattice gate is located prior to the orifice of the drop gate. The lattice gate is comprised of a series of cross-direction flow channels through which the rubber flows, with mixing of the rubbers at the intersections of the flow channels. This hybrid molding system permits shorter cure times, and improved process cycle time for curing rubbers.

Abstract: A fishing rod case has a plurality of segments that can be removably connected together in an end-to-end manner to achieve a desired length. Each segment has a connector that enables end-to-end engagement between adjacent segments, and a tubular passageway in axial alignment with the tubular passageways of other segments to store a number of fishing rods. A plurality of elongated security bars can be removably attached in series to one another and to the segments. A fastener is used to secure the security bars to the segments and prevent disassembly of the segments while the fastener is in place.

Abstract: A filter passing only desired frequencies is selected according to a desired level of service for copper lines. At a point of access between a loop plant and Central Office, the filter is interposed in series over a telephone service line to provide spectral containment by restricting the frequencies of transmission passing along the line. The filter is preferably mounted within a 5-pin module used in a protector block at the Central Office or remote terminal facility, interfaces with a 5-pin module, or is placed upstream or downstream of a protector block such that it does not interfere with the operation thereof. Service is activated, and the spectral containment apparatus prevents the transmission of unexpected or unintended services over the line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I), and methods of selectively antagonizing the &agr;&ngr;&bgr;3 and/or the &agr;&ngr;&bgr;5 integrin without significantly antagonizing the IIb/IIIa integrin.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a synthetic character using a control system displays the character engaged in an activity, receiving a first input from a user, determines whether the input is relevant to the activity, if the input is relevant to the activity, and shows the character react to the input, the character being highly expressive and highly reactive. A system and method for displaying a synthetic character provides speech data, creates modified speech data by modifying at least one of the pitch or duration of at least a portion of the speech data and generates modified speech sounds associated with the character using the modified speech data.
