The present invention is directed to compounds that are inhibitors of cysteine protease, in particular, cathepsins B, K, L, F, and S and are therefore useful in treating diseases mediated by these proteases. Processing circuitry in the wireless device obtains a target average transmit power level. Each link includes a planar upper surface for supporting the mattress and a reinforcing rib on the lower surface for added strength. In interstices of silicon carbide crystal grains constituting the silicon carbide matrix, liberated silicon phase amounting to, for example, 5 to 50 mass % based on the composite material is present continuously in network form. The haptic comprises a distal posterior face, a proximal posterior face, and a step edge disposed at a boundary therebetween.
