Abstract: Provided is a novel low-molecular-weight compound that suppresses production of induction type MMPs, particularly MMP-9, rather than production of hemostatic type MMP-2. The present invention relates to a compound represented by the following formula (I): wherein each symbol is as described in the DESCRIPTION. The compound has a selective MMP-9 production suppressive action, and is useful as a drug for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and the like, inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) or osteoarthritis.

Abstract: Provided is a pyrazolopyrimidine compound represented by formula (I) having an HIF-PHD inhibitory effect, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [In the formula, represents an optionally substituted 7-hydroxypyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5-yl, X represents a simple bond or an optionally substituted straight-chain alkylene, Z represents hydrogen atom, or formula (i), formula (ii) or formula (iii) and rings A and A? are independently an optionally substituted aryl, an optionally substituted heteroaryl, an optionally substituted alicyclic hydrocarbon, or an optionally substituted non-aromatic heterocycle.

Abstract: A disclosed data transfer device includes one or more data transfer control unit configured to control a command issuance and a data transfer separately, a command issuing unit configured to determine priorities of commands and issue the commands in an order from a higher priority, a memory communication control unit configured to perform the data transfer corresponding to the command from and to a memory, and a signal output unit configured to output a completion signal of the data transfer in a case where the data transfer is normally completed. The command issuing unit sets a priority of a command corresponding to a request for resetting the data transfer control unit lower than the priority of the command issued by the data transfer control unit when the request for resetting is received, and the signal output unit outputs a dummy completion signal to the memory communication control unit.

Abstract: In a data transfer control apparatus, a transfer start address and a transfer size are acquired from a peripheral circuit. A command is issued in response to an activation signal from the peripheral circuit. When data transfer is performed between the main memory unit and the peripheral circuit, completion of issuance of all of commands corresponding to the transfer start address and transfer size is detected. The transfer size is retained until the end of data transfer. A next command is issued prior to completion of data transfer for one command, and a next activation signal is received upon detection of completion of issuance of all of the commands corresponding to the one transfer start address and transfer size. Next transfer start address and transfer size are acquired upon detection of completion of issuance of all of the commands corresponding to the one transfer start address and transfer size.

Abstract: A disclosed data transfer control device includes a main memory unit; a cache memory unit; a command generation unit configured to generate a command to read out data from the main memory unit in accordance with a first address input to the command generation unit; and a storage unit configured to store an information item indicating whether the first address and data corresponding to the first address are stored in the cache memory unit. In the data transfer control device, when the information item stored in the storage unit indicates that there are no data corresponding to the first address in the cache memory unit, the command generation unit generates the command based on the first address before output of data corresponding to a second address that is input immediately before the first address is input.

Abstract: This invention, with the object of enabling the step of joining an outer layer material and a molded object for the production of an automotive interior trim to be copiously simplified, is aimed at providing a hotmelt excellent in resistance to heat and suitable for a pre-applied outer layer material for automotive interior trim such that the surface of the pre-applied layer thereof lacks viscosity and obviates the necessity for a release paper and possesses the ability to mold and adhere to a given molded object without being heated and a method for the production of an automotive interior trim by the use of the pre-applied outer layer material. This invention, therefore, is directed to providing a pre-applied outer layer material for automotive interior trim, which comprises having applied in advance to the back surface of an automotive interior trim a hotmelt having (A) an amorphous poly(&agr;-olefin) having a melting viscosity in the range of 500-100,000 mPa·s/190° C.
