Abstract: A compound of Formula I, enantiomers, diasteriomers, tautomers or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined herein, are useful as inhibitors of one or more Janus kinases. A pharmaceutical composition that includes a compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant or vehicle, and methods of treating or lessening the severity of a disease or condition responsive to the inhibition of a Janus kinase activity in a patient are disclosed.

Abstract: A fluid injector system includes at least one injector for pressurizing and delivering at least one fluid from at least one fluid reservoir, at least one fluid path section in fluid communication with the at least one injector and having a predetermined index of refraction, and a first proximal sensor and a first distal sensor arranged along the at least one fluid path section. Each of the first proximal sensor and the first distal sensor includes an emitter configured to emit light through the at least one fluid path section, and a detector configured to receive the light emitted through the at least one fluid path section and generate an electrical signal based on the received light. The fluid injector system further includes at least one processor programmed or configured to determine, based on a difference in the electrical signals generated by the first proximal sensor and the first distal sensor, at least one property of a content of the at least one fluid path section.

Abstract: An example method is provided for maintaining stability to an injury defined by a separation of two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula), the separation being an injured distance greater than a pre-injury distance between the two bones in a first human patient. The method may include delivering a first apparatus for approximation of the two bones in the first human patient comprising the injury, the first apparatus including a flexible segment disposed between a first anchor and a second anchor. The method may further include maintaining, by the first apparatus, a restored distance between the two bones in the first human patient after a repetitive dynamic loading, the restored distance approximately equal to the pre-injury distance.

Abstract: A contact element suitable for SMD printed circuit boards is made of a flexible blank of sheet metal of approximate C-shaped cross-sectional configuration, with dimensions of a DIL package for SMD integrated circuits. The contact element is provided with bent terminals which are soldered onto respective bonding pads upon the circuit board while the top surface of the contact element is provided for contacting by a resilient external countercontact.

Abstract: An ionization fire detector of the type including a measuring chamber and a reference chamber having a common electrode which is connected to the gate terminal of a field-effect transistor by a profile piece of conductive caoutchouc having one end contacting the gate terminal and another end contacting the common electrode.
