Abstract: An intravascular stent especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portion. The stent retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent is formed of intertwined meander patterns forming triangular cells. The cells are adapted to provide radial support, and also provide longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The cells also provide increase coverage of a vessel wall. Loops in the stent are disposed and adapted to cooperate, so that after expansion of said stent within a curved lumen, the stent is curved and cells on the outside of the curve open in length, but narrow in width, whereas cells on the inside of the curve shorten in length, but thicken in width to maintain a density of the stent element area which is much more constant than otherwise between the inside and outside of the curve. The stent also minimizes flaring out by eliminating free loops of the radially supporting circumferential bands of loops.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods that utilize inductive current steering to improve logic circuit performance by mitigating propagation delays associated with conventional transistor current steering. The system and methods employ RF transformers, wherein energizing primary windings induce current in associated secondary windings. In one aspect, a single clock bus is employed to induce the current, which is routed via respective ends of the secondary winding to emitter leads of the transistors. This current and voltage is 180 degrees out-of-phase such that one transistor is 'on' while the other is 'off,' which generates a differential output. In another aspect, a differential clock signal is employed to induce the current in secondary windings and associated transistor emitters. Further, the systems and methods can be utilized to construct flip-flops and shift registers by coupling differential transistor pairs and driving these pairs with the transformer-based single-ended or differential clock.
