Abstract: Arterial and venous smooth muscle cells are molecularly distinct from the earliest stages of angiogenesis through to adulthood. This distinction is revealed by expression on arterial cells (e.g., arterial endothelial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells) of a transmembrane ligand, called EphrinB2 whose receptor EphB4 is expressed on venous cells. Targeted disruption of the EphrinB2 gene prevents the remodeling of veins from a capillary plexus into properly branched structures. Moreover, it also disrupts the remodeling of arteries, suggesting that reciprocal interactions between pre-specified arterial and venous cells are necessary for angiogenesis. Expression of EphrinB2 in arterial cells (e.g., arterial endothelial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells) can be used to advantage in methods for targeting agents and/or encoded polypeptides to arterial smooth muscle cells, altering angiogenesis, assessing the effect of agents on arterial smooth muscle cells, identifying arterial smooth muscle cells, isolating arterial smooth muscle cells and production of artificial vessels, for example.

Abstract: A waveguide component has a slab waveguide (104), a rib waveguide (101), and a mode transition section where the rib waveguide and the slab waveguide are adjacent, and where the rib waveguide is tapered (110), to provide optical coupling, and lateral confinement rib waveguides (102,103) are provided along the slab waveguide in the mode transition section to confine light spreading laterally. The lateral confinement ribs can be formed in the same step with the same mask as used for the taper, to ensure alignment with the taper. They can be arranged on either side of the taper. The lateral confinement ribs are significant for enabling a mode transition section which couples with low loss. In particular, it reduces the need for the taper to be so fine, or the taper to be made in both vertical and horizontal axes, both of which cause fabrication difficulties. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a stent provides a folded strut section (20) that provides both structural rigidity and reduction in foreshortening of the stent mechanism. A flexible section (30) provides flexibility for delivery of the stent mechanism. In a second embodiment, flexible section columns (130) are angled with respect to each other, and to the longitudinal axis of the stent. These relatively flexible sections are oppositely phased in order to negate any torsion along their length. In yet another embodiment, the flexible connector (310) can take on an undulating shape (like an "N"), but such that the longitudinal axis of the connector is not parallel with the longitudinal axis of the stent. Finally, a new method is disclosed for making stents. The method consists of performing a standard photochemical machining process of cutting, cleaning and coating the tube with a photoresist. However, unlike former methods, the photoresist image is developed on the surface of the cylindrical metallic tube, which results in a controlled variable etching rate at selected sites on the cylindrical metallic tube during the etching process. Further embodiments provide living hinge connectors (330) and connections along the length of the radial strut member.

Abstract: Antenna structure (200) which finds particular utility in mobile stations and the electrical characteristics of which can be electrically modified. The radiating element (210) of the antenna or a part thereof is manufactured from a strongly magnetostrictive material. The antenna is equipped with at least one electromagnet (220) by means of which a magnetic field (psi) can be generated into the magnetostrictive material. This causes the radiating element to grow (Deltal) in a certain direction, whereby the resonance frequency of the antenna will decrease. The antenna can be electrically adjusted without adding any component in the antenna itself, thereby making the adjustment reliable.

Abstract: Described herein is a quasi-optic rotating joint (100) which allows circularly polarised radiation to be transmitted therethrough irrespective of the angle of rotation of the joint. The rotating joint (100) comprises a first quasi-optic lens (102) having a first axis (112), which is carried on an inner part (116, 118) of bearings (108, 110) and which shares first axis (112). An outer part (122) of bearing (110) carries a quasi-optic mirror (104) and a second quasi-optic lens (106). The second lens (106) has a second axis (114) which is orthogonal to the first axis (112) of the first lens (102) and which intersects at the mirror (104). A Gaussian beam waist is formed at the mirror (104) by the first lens (102) and the second lens (106) is matched to the reflection of the beam waist at the mirror (104). Circularly polarised Gaussian beams passing through the joint (100) suffer a phase shift of angle Psi which increases at the same rate as the increase in angle of rotation of the joint (100). If the radiation returns through the joint (100) in the same hand of circular polarisation as it left, the overall phase shift is zero. If the hand of polarisation is swapped on return, the overall rotation dependent phase shift is 2Psi.
