  • Patent number: 8383816
    Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds for treating proliferative disorders, cancer, etc., and more specifically to certain aryl-quinolyl compounds, as described herein, which, inter alia, inhibit RAF (e.g., B-RAF) activity. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit RAF (e.g., BRAF) activity, to inhibit receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity, to inhibit cell proliferation, and in the treatment of diseases and disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of RAF, RTK, etc., proliferative disorders such as cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, melanoma), etc.

  • Publication number: 20100251857
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulation stripping device for the partial removal of a cable insulation, comprising at least one electrically conductive blade (100) for cutting through the cable insulation, and to an adjustment means for use with an insulation stripping device of this type. The present invention further relates to a method for finishing cables and to an adjustment method for adjusting a blade (100) position in an insulation stripping device. According to the present invention, the insulation stripping device comprises a capacitive sensor unit, which is connected to the conductive blade (100) and is formed in such a way as to emit an output signal if the conductive blade (100) contacts a electrical conductor (104) of the cable.
