Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to analyze the function of anti-angiogenic factors in cardiac valves or such to elucidate the developmental mechanism of angiogenesis-induced diseases. A more specific objective is to provide therapeutic agents for angiogenesis-induced diseases such as valvular heart disease, and methods of efficiently screening for the therapeutic agents. The present inventors discovered that chondromodulin-I was markedly expressed in cardiac valves, and plays an important role in maintaining normal functions of the valves by preventing angiogenesis, thickening, and calcification which lead to valvular heart diseases. Chondromodulin-I proteins and substances that activate the expression or function of the proteins are expected to have therapeutic effects against angiogenesis-induced diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed is an organic/inorganic composite separator including: a porous substrate having pores; and a porous active layer containing a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer with which at least one surface of the porous substrate is coated. The organic/inorganic composite separator of the present invention may be useful to enhance peeling and scratch resistances and improve a lamination characteristic by introducing a porous active layer onto a porous substrate having pores, the porous active layer having heterogeneity of morphology toward a thickness direction in which a content ratio of the binder polymer/inorganic particles present in a surface layer is higher than that of the binder polymer/inorganic particles present inside the surface layer. Accordingly, the stability and performances of a battery can be improved together since the detachment of inorganic particles from the porous active layer may be reduced during the assembly process of the electrochemical device.

Title: Phase control by active thermal adjustments in an external cavity laser
Inventor: MUSIO MAURIZIO
IPC: H01S5/024
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelength tuneable extemal-cavity laser module, the laser being tuneable across a predetermined wavelength range and comprising: a thermally stabilised substrate; a gain medium for emitting an optical beam passing through the external cavity along an optical axis, said gain medium being placed in thermal contact with the thermally stabilised substrate; an end mirror for receiving and reflecting the optical beam within the external cavity, and a phase element for controlling the phase of the optical beam and being positioned within the external cavity between the gain medium and the end mirror, wherein said phase element comprises a material having a refractive index that varies in response to changes in temperature and has a transmissivity substantially independent of wavelength across said predetermined wavelength range. The thermally-controllable phase element in the laser external cavity is configured so as to induce a phase variation that compensates the drop in the output power due to ageing or to external temperature variation. According to a preferred embodiment, a heating element is placed in thermal contact to the phase element. The temperature of the phase element can be increased to 'bring back' the output power to a value very close to the initial value. Preferably, the phase element is a silicon plate. By thermally controlling an intra-cavity phase element it is possible to vary continuously the output power as a function of the injection current. Therefore, the solution has the advantage that it is possible to configure the ECL to laser at a desired value of the output power selected along a mono tonic function of the injection current.

Abstract: In a setting where a device (10) has access to multiple access networks (20, 30, 40), the distribution of traffic flows generated by applications running on a device amongst the access networks can enable better network utilization than single network use at a time. However, the variation in network characteristics like available bit rate and delay make the problem of flow assignment challenging. In the present invention we propose a method and system for an adaptive assignment of flows to different access networks, which results in a much better performance (in terms of packet losses, delays and allocated bit rates for the flows) than a static flow allocation policy. The adaptive flow reassignment is controlled by using stochastic characterization of the network characteristics of all access networks (20, 30, 40) and adopting a Markov Decision Process based selecting approach to optimally assign flows to the access networks (20, 30, 40).
