Abstract: Methods for constructing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) antenna arrays, may include: variable doping of the MWCNTs, forming light pipes with layers of variable dielectric glass, forming geometric diodes on full-wave rectified devices that propagate both electrons and holes, using clear conductive ground plans to form windows that can control a building's internal temperature, and generating multiple lithographic patterns with a single mask.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery that PDG2 is the nautral ligand for orphan receptor CRTH2, which interaction, it will now immediately be recognized, is important in the development of valuable pharmaceuticals. The present invention is therefore related to methods for screening for therapeutic compounds useful in the treatment of PGD2-related disorders such as allergy, asthma and inflammation. Appropriate assay methodology is also disclosed.
