Abstract: The invention discloses the utilization of mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells, conditioned media from mesenchymal stem cells, apoptotic bodies from mesenchymal stem cells, and modified mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of bipolar disorder. In one embodiment mesenchymal stem cells isolated from umbilical cord tissue are treated carbon monoxide at a concentration sufficient to induce activation of heme-oxygenase I and infused into a patient at risk or suffering from bipolar disorder.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for using a combining network to combine antenna beams from different frequency bands so that the same port on the signal distribution system can be used for two or more beams produced by a multidirectional antennae array so that the size of the signal distribution system required is reduced. The combining network uses a series of multiplexing filters which maintain low loss within the antenna frequency bands and a good impedance match at the output port over the frequency range of the combined beams. Only the beams are combined which are either oriented in a different direction or which are not adjacent in frequency so that the problem of signal cancellation at cross-over frequencies between adjacent bands is eliminated.
