Each of the stacked PCBs includes through-holes the sidewalls of which are coated with a conductive material. Microwave components are mounted on the flexible PCB within the through-holes, such that signal terminals of the components bond to signal terminals of respective through-holes.

The flexible PCB is folded such that the cover of one PCB faces the cover of the second PCB. The flexible PCB includes striplines or microstrips that carry RF or microwave signals to the signal terminals.

Abstract: A rotary dairy cow milking platform that rotates about a rotational axis and has a plurality of pre-fabricated moulded bail floor defining modular components 1-10 and a supporting substructure 12, 13 14. Each modular component is detachable from the substructure and has been pre-formed independently of any components from the substructure. Each modular component is also totally or at least in part formed from a fibre reinforced resin based composite material. The modular components each have a mould defined rigid exoskeleton 34 wrapped about an inlay or an imbedded core 33 of another material moulded within the exoskeleton. The end peripheries of the modular components are substantially radially aligned with respect to the axis of rotation of the milking platform. Further, the modular components have been assembled onto the substructure to form a substantially annular deck of the milking platform.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of selectively pro-oranti-angiogenic treatment of a mammalian subject, comprising site-specific control of alternative splicing during processing of VEGF pre-mRNA transcribed from the C terminal exon 8 of the VEGF gene using controlling agents for the splicing, wherein one or more controlling agent which favors proximal splice site (PSS) splicing in said processing is used in the pro-angiogenic treatment and one or more controlling agent which favors distal splice site (DSS) splicing in said processing is used in the anti-angiogenic treatment.
