  • Publication number: 20240132485
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds with the ability to stimulate/induce ubiquitination of a target protein/target proteins. The compounds of the present invention may stimulate/induce ubiquitination of a target protein/target proteins; i.e. via degradation of a target protein/target proteins by the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL). Such target protein/target proteins may be proteins involved in diseases, like cancer, metabolic disorder, infectious disease and/or neurological disorder. The invention also relates to the compounds and composition for use as medicaments as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. Particularly, the compounds of the present invention may degrade proteins associated with cancer, metabolic disorder, infectious disease and/or neurological disorder.

  • Publication number: 20240131271
    Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.

  • Publication number: 20240112302
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to determine a set of geometric relationships in relation to a set of object representations within a computer aided design model, where each geometric relationship is represented by a number, and is configured to determine a set of intervals within the set of geometric relationships that meet a resolution interval criterion, where each interval is a numerical range that does not include numbers representing the geometric relationships, and is configured to select a set of resolution values. Each resolution value is within one of the intervals according to a resolution setting criterion. The processor is configured to update the CAD model by implementing the set of resolution values, generate instructions for controlling a manufacturing process using the updated CAD model, and output the instructions to a manufacturing system for control of the manufacturing process according to the instructions.
