  • Publication number: 20020161022
    Abstract: Indazole compounds that modulate and/or inhibit cell proliferation, such as the activity of protein kinases are described. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating, e.g., kinases-dependent diseases to modulate and/or inhibit unwanted cell proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and to methods of treating cancer as well as other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and/or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.

  • Patent number: 4707621
    Abstract: The middle value selection circuit includes three high value selection circuits and one low value selection circuit. Each high value selection circuit consists of a pair of first NPN transistors and a first constant current circuit. The emitter of each first NPN transistor of the high value selection circuit is connected to the first constant current circuit and the base of the second NPN transistor of the low value selection circuit. The base of this second NPN transistor is connected to the second constant current circuit and to an output terminal. The collector of the second NPN transistor is connected to its base. The first constant current circuit produces a current whichis twice the output current of the second constant current circuit. Two analog signals having mutually different combination among three input analog signals are applied to the NPN transistors of one high value selection circuit.
