Stents of the type used to treat and prevent localized flow constriction in body vessels are based upon negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) structures. An auxetic stent constructed in accordance with this invention comprises a tubular structure having two ends defining a length with a central longitudinal axis and an axial view defining a cross section. The tubular structure is composed of a plurality of unit cells with two different configurations, called V-type and X-type. In V-type auxetic stents, each unit cell comprises a pair of side points A and B defining a width, a first pair of members interconnecting points A and B and intersecting at a point C forming a first V shape, and a second pair of members interconnecting points A and B and intersecting at a point D forming a second V shape. In X-type auxetic stents, each unit cell comprises eight points from A to H defining an outline of the unit cell. Eight straight or curved members interconnecting points A and B, B and C, C and D, C and E, E and F, F and G, G and H, G and A, respectively, forming the X-type unit cell. In both configurations, the unit cells are connected in rows and columns, such that compression of the structure between the two ends thereof causes the cross section of the structure to shrink in size. The auxetic structure configurations invented can also be used, with similar dimensions or significantly different dimensions, for other applications, such as in a nano-structural device, a tubal fastener design, or in an application associated with a large oil pipe or other pipelines.

A transmission line network system for transmitting and / or receiving data from a downhole tool. The invention is achieved by providing one or more transceiving elements, preferably rings, at either end of a downhole tool. A conduit containing a coaxial cable capable of communicating an electrical signal is attached to the transceiving element and extends through a central bore of the downhole tool and through the central bore of any tool intermediate the first transceiving element and a second transceiving element. Upon receiving an electrical signal from the cable, the second transceiving element may convert such signal to a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be detected by a third transceiving element in close proximity to the second transceiving element. In this manner, many different tools may be included in a downhole transmission network without requiring substantial modification, if any, of any particular tool.
