Abstract: A method for the prevention and/or treatment of peripheral arterial disease by compound (I) or its pharmaceutically salts are provided. The compound (I) or its pharmaceutically salts have inhibitory activity against heterotrimeric G protein Gq/11.

Abstract: In order to obtain a multiprocessor system capable of increasing the number of data processors without changing an operating system program, a multiprocessor system includes a main memory (7) which stores an application program and an operating system program, a plurality of data processors (3-6) each including at least one data processor to perform distributed processing of the application program in accordance with the operating system program, a plurality of system buses (1A-1E) connected between the plurality of data processors (3-6) and the main memory (7), and a plurality of gateway units (2A-2E) inserted in the system buses (1A-1E) to set a hierarchical order of the main memory (7) and the plurality of data processors (3-6) using the main memory as a highest hierarchical level and allow data transmission between the hierarchical levels, each of the plurality of gateway units being arranged to monitor memory access requests from hierarchical levels lower than a corresponding hierarchical level and contr

Abstract: A variable gain amplifier including common emitter input transistor, a plurality of common base switching transistor to form a cascode amplifier with said input transistor and a resistive network including a plurality of series resistors is disclosed. A plurality of predetermined gains are obtained by programming the resistors. The resistive network may be shared by two or more variable gain amplifiers to provide a selection amplifier.
