Abstract:
A memory control circuit for providing a small-circuit-size memory control circuit capable of reducing a branch penalty during the execution of a branch instruction in a CPU. A branch-destination buffer caches a branch-destination instruction and a branch-destination-instruction address determined by a branch instruction executed by the CPU. When the CPU executes a branch instruction thereafter, if the branch-destination-instruction address output from the CPU matches an instruction address in the branch-destination buffer, the corresponding branch-destination instruction stored in the branch-destination buffer is sent to the CPU. When a branch instruction is executed, an address comparison circuit compares the branch-destination-instruction address with the branch-source-instruction address. A buffer-update control circuit updates data of the branch-destination buffer by the branch-destination instruction only when it is determined according to the result of comparison performed by the address comparison circuit that the instruction address has been changed in the negative direction by the instruction branch.
Abstract:
Human interferon-β protein analogs in which the asparagine at position 25, numbered in accordance with native human interferon-β, is recombinantly replaced with an aspartate residue exhibit a biological activity of human interferon-β (e.g. IFN-β 1b) at an increased level relative to IFN-β 1b. These analogs are obtained by introducing a gene coding for Asp25 IFN-β into a cell and expressing the recombinant protein. The resulting IFN-β protein analog is suitable for large scale manufacturing for incorporation in HA-containing or HA-free therapeutics for treatment of diseases including multiple sclerosis. A reduced Lys endoproteinase-C peptide map technique that produces a fingerprint profile for proteins using an enzymatic digest followed by RP-HPLC is also useful in quality control as an ID test for the IFN-β protein analog products.
Abstract:
Interferon-β protein analogs in which the asparagine at position 25, numbered in accordance with native interferon-β, is deamidated exhibit a biological activity of native human interferon-β at an increased level and do not require HA for protein stabilization. The deamidated product is suitable for large scale manufacturing for incorporation in HA-containing or HA-free therapeutics for treatment of diseases including multiple sclerosis. An endoproteinase-C peptide map technique that produces a fingerprint profile for proteins using an enzymatic digest followed by RP-HPLC is also useful in quality control as an ID and/or quantitative test for the deamidated products.

Abstract:
A method of producing a solid electrolyte (3, 13) is disclosed wherein solid electrolyte material is prepared having a composition expressed by a formula: (1-x) ZrO2 {xSc2O3 (where x is a number equal to or greater than 0.05 and equal to or less than 0.15), and a spark plasma method is carried out to sinter solid electrolyte material, resulting in a solid electrolyte. Such spark plasma method is executed by applying first compression load, equal to or less that 40 MPa, to solid electrolyte material, to sinter the solid electrolyte material to obtain sintered material, which is then cooled by applying second compression load, less than first compression load, to the sintered material, resulting in a solid electrolyte.
Abstract:
A lanthanum gallate-based sintered body comprises a base material formed of lanthanum gallate-based oxide, and grains having a K2NiF4 structure and/or grains having a layered perovskite structure are dispersed into the base material. Consequently, the lanthanum gallate-based sintered body has a high mechanical strength and is excellent in thermal resistance. Further, a SOFC having excellent properties can be obtained by using the lanthanum gallate-based sintered body as the solid electrolyte.

Abstract:
Each prefetch buffer has a tag register for storing a branch address and a data register for storing instruction data. Each of the prefetch buffers is assigned to either a first prefetch buffer rewritable during a normal operation period and a second prefetch buffer to be disabled for rewrite during the normal operation period. The second prefetch buffer can thus be prevented from being rewritten even if a central processor outputs branch addresses frequently. This realizes an improvement in the instruction fetch efficiency of the central processor and an improvement in the entire system performance. The fetch efficiency can be improved particularly in such systems that branch addresses occur frequently and some of them occur repeatedly.
Abstract:
A rotor for a small-sized motor has a plurality of rotor magnetic poles and a commutator on a rotor shaft, and both ends of a wire of each winding of the rotor magnetic poles are tied up with and connected by spot welding to a U-shaped hook-type commutator leg connected to the corresponding commutator piece end of the commutator, respectively. The commutator leg has a copper-based base material, and is composed by attaching a thin layer of a clad material with a melting point lower than that of the above described base material and a high electric resistance thereon at the surface part to be inside when bent to the U-shaped hook type. Thus, in the connection between the commutator leg and the copper wire material of the small-sized motor, the reduction of defectives of breaking of the wire because of heat shock at the time of welding is achieved, and in the meantime, the stabilization of welding is achieved, so that the reliability of the connection can be increased.
Abstract:
Each of the rotor magnetic poles is composed of a winding around a laminated core and each of both ends of each wound wire is connected to a commutator leg part coupled with a tip of a corresponding commutator segment of the commutator unit. Each of the commutator leg parts includes a base portion extending outward in a direction substantially normal to the radial direction from the tip of the corresponding commutator segment tip and coupled to the commutator segment top and a tip portion narrowed stepwise to let the ends of a wound wire be connected. A disk-shaped varistor having a hole at the center is mounted over the base portion of the commutator leg part, and each electrode of the varistor is soldered onto the corresponding base portion. Further, the commutator leg parts are punched and cut out of a reel-wound flat parent metal sheet and fixed to the commutator segment tips.
