Abstract: A stent in the form of a multi-cellular, tubular structure having a longitudinal axis, has a plurality of sets of cylindrical strut members with each circumferential set of strut members consisting of a multiplicity of curved sections attached end-to-end to diagonal sections to form a closed, ring-like structure circumferentially situated around the stent's longitudinal axis. One of thc sets of strut members is located at each end of the stent, and each circumferential set of strut members is longitudinally separated from an adjacent circumferential set of strut members. Each circumferential set of strut members is also circumferentially displaced by between one-eighth and one-half cycle from the adjacent circumferential set of strut members. At least one diagonal flexible link joins each pair of adjacent circumferential sets of strut members with each diagonal flexible link having a first end that is fixedly attached at a first attachment point to a curved section of one circumferential set of strut members and a second end that is fixedly attached at a second attachment point to a curved section of an adjacent circumferential set of strut members. The first attachment point is circumferentially displaced from the second attachment point by at least a half cycle of the circumferential sets of strut members. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif à semi-conducteurs réunissant un transistor à effet de champ (250) et un condensateur passif (240). La couche diélectrique (221a) du condensateur (240) est faite d'un matériau à constante diélectrique élevée. Par contre, l'isolation de grille (231) du transistor à effet de champ (250) est réalisée au moyen d'une couche d'oxyde ou d'oxynitrure ultrafine de façon à obtenir une plus grande mobilité du porteur de charge à l'interface entre la couche d'isolation de grille et la région de canal sous-jacente. Etant donné que la mobilité du porteur de charge à l'intérieur du condensateur n'a pas grande importance, le matériau à constante diélectrique élevée offre une capacité élevée par unité de surface tout en présentant une épaisseur suffisante pour réduire de façon efficace le courant de fuite.

Abstract: Renewable energy production from wind source by exploiting kites or airfoils through an automatic management and steering control. 
The kite (12) or airfoil automatic steering via cables (11) allows to manoeuvre the kite in different combinations of troposphere altitudes and directions, obtaining full power traction phases in specific direction, phases of stall with rewinding, and gliding phases even against the wind. The traction and the active mechanical energy are transferred to a carousel generator (18,19). 
The automatic steering logic is realized through the interface of servo actuators and sensors elements on the kites. Sensor information is continually updated to perform the decision-making and feedback control on the kite attitude and position in order to obtain precise and reliable manoeuvring.
