Abstract: The present invention describes 2-methyl-quinazoline compounds of general formula (I), methods of preparing said compounds, intermediate compounds useful for preparing said compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and combinations comprising said compounds, and the use of said compounds for manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions. The 2-methyl substituted quinazoline compounds of general formula (I) effectively and selectively inhibit the Ras-Sos interaction without significantly targeting the EGFR receptor. They are therefore useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular of hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer as a sole agent or in combination with other active ingredients.

Abstract: Autonomous unmanned vehicles (UVs) for responding to situations are described. Embodiments include UVs that launch upon detection of a situation, operate in the area of the situation, and collect and send information about the situation. The UVs may launch from a vehicle involved in the situation, a vehicle responding to the situation, or from a fixed station. In other embodiments, the UVs also provide communications relays to the situation and may facilitate access to the situation by responders. The UVs further may act as decoupled sensors for vehicles. In still other embodiments, the collected information may be used to recreate the situation as it happened.
