Abstract: An organic extract of Geum japonicum thunb var. (EGJ), and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The organic EGJ has been identified to show potent dual effects on stimulating early growth (less than 48 hours) of new vessels both in ischemic heart muscles and in infracted heart muscles, and on triggering myocardial regeneration in myocardial infarction, and therefore, may be used in the treatment of ischemic diseases in human being or animals including ischemic heart disease and ischemic limbs, and damaged myocardium associated diseases.

Abstract: A graphics system reduces fetching from memory of color-key pixels when video pixels from a video-overlay window are displayed. A frame buffer is divided into multi-line, multi-pixel blocks that are arranged in block-rows and block-columns. Each block-row has primary and secondary row indicator bits and each block-column has two column indicator bits. When the primary row indicator bit is cleared, all pixels in the block-row are fetched from a frame-buffer memory. When the primary row indicator is set, a secondary row indicator bit selects either first or second column indicator bits for reading. When the selected column indicator bit for a block-column is set, fetching of pixels from the frame buffer memory is skipped. Instead, dummy color-key pixels are generated and inserted into the pixel stream. These dummy pixels match the color key and cause video pixels to be sent to the display. Memory fetching is reduced.

Abstract: A graphics controller for a System-On-a-Chip (SOC) used with a battery-powered device allows for reduced-power display modes. The microprocessor writes to a frame buffer that is a single, contiguous address block in virtual memory. A memory management unit (MMU) translates frame-buffer address to multiple physical blocks. The graphics controller fetches pixels from the multiple physical blocks, including a block in an on-chip memory and a block in an external memory. In a low-power mode, pixels are only fetched from the lower-power on-chip memory and not the higher-power external memory. A smaller display window is defined and pixels outside the window are replaced by dummy data,.eliminating external-memory fetches. The smaller display window falls within the first block in the on-chip memory. Status and other information can be displayed in the smaller display window during stand-by modes, while a full-screen of data is displayed for full-power modes.

Abstract: An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) has a clock controller that dynamically selects an appropriate clock frequency for a resource. The ASIC includes a central processing unit (CPU), on-chip memory, a memory controller controlling external memory devices, a system bus, and various peripheral controllers. Devices that can be accessed by other devices, such as the on-chip memory, the memory controller, and the system bus are “resources.” The devices that access the resources are “controllers.” The ASIC generates a master clock and the clock controller derives clocks for driving the resources and controllers from the master clock. A multiplexer (MUX) in the clock controller selects the clock that is passed to a resource. Each controller has a request line to the clock controller for signaling when the controller is accessing a resource.
