Publication number: 20060110743Abstract: A new method of designing and generating compounds having an increased probability of being drugs, drug candidates, or biologically active compounds, in particular having a therapeutic utility, is disclosed. The method consists of identifying a group of bioactive compounds, preferably of diverse therapeutic uses or biological activities and built on a common building block. In this group of compounds, side chains modifying the building block are identified and used to generate a second set of compounds according to the proposed methods of hybridization”, “single substitution” or “incorporation of frequently used side chains”. If the compounds in the second set built on the same building block contain an unusually large number of drugs, preferably with diverse therapeutic uses or biological activities, they constitute a “hot spot”.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2004Publication date: May 25, 2006Inventors: Yasuo Konishi, Sung Cho, Alicja Kluczyk, Carmen Lazar, Taira Kiyota

Patent number: 6685278Abstract: A brake control device for a vehicle includes a master cylinder, a wheel cylinder, a brake pedal behavior simulator, a normally-open type electromagnetic valve, a normally-closed type electromagnetic valve, and a brake pressure control device. The brake pressure control device includes a pump, a reservoir, and two electromagnetic valves to increase and decrease wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure. When the brake pressure control device is normally operated, a hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinder is controlled by the brake pressure control device. On the other hand, when the brake pressure control device malfunctions or is abnormally operating, the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure is controlled by hydraulic pressure generated from the master cylinder. At least the normally-closed type electromagnetic valve is opened when the brake pedal is in the non-operational state.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihito Kusano, Yasuo Konishi, Junji Ishimura
