Abstract: A device is configured to receive one or more input frames of bits, wherein the one or more input frames comprise data and instruction information that indicates one or more processing tasks to be executed on the data. Further, the device is configured to convert the instruction information into one or more Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) instructions or one or more Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) instructions, where the one or more RISC instructions are selected from an RISC instruction set, and the one or more CISC instructions are selected from an CISC instruction set. The device is configured to execute the one or more processing tasks on the data of the one or more input frames based on the one or more RISC instructions or the one or more CISC instructions.

Abstract: A scanning probe microscope has a probe configured to move across the surface of a sample to be monitored. A scanner, to which the probe is mounted, moves the probe across the sample surface such that the probe is deflected in accordance with the structure of the sample surface. A beam system directs a light beam at the probe during the movement of the probe across the sample surface and a detector monitors the deflection of the probe using the light beam. The arrangement is such that the scanner is physically independent of the beam system.

Abstract: Provided are a series of Gq protein competitive inhibitory polypeptides (GCIPs), polynucleotides encoding them, and preparation methods thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising GCIP polypeptides and their uses in the manufacture of drugs for treating myocardial hypertrophy.
