A RISC microprocessor architecture fromAdvanced RISC Machines Ltd. (ARM). Building upon the ARM6family, the goal of the ARM7 design was to offer higher levelsof raw compute performance at even lower levels of powerconsumption. The ARM7 architecture is now (Dec 1994) the mostpowerful low voltage RISC processor available on the market.The ARM7 offers several architectural extensions which addressspecific market needs, encompassing fast multiply andinnovative embedded ICE support. Software development toolsare available.The ARM7 architecture is made up of a core CPU plus a range ofsystem peripherals which can be added to a CPU core to give acomplete system on a chip, e.g. 4K or 8K cache, MemoryManagement Unit, Write Buffer, coprocessor interface,ICEbreaker embedded ICE support and JTAG boundaryscan. The ARM710 microprocessor is built around the ARM7core. (http://systemv.com/armltd/arm7.html).

Colony Stimulating Factor 1
- mononuclear phagocyte factor (CSF) synthesized by mesenchymal cells. The compound stimulates survival, proliferation, and differentiation hematopoietic cells monocyte-series. M-CSF is a disulfide-bonded glycoprotein dimer with MW of 70 kDa. It binds to specific high affinity receptor (RECEPTOR, MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR).
