Title: DNA construct for enhancing nuclear encoded plastid membrane protein levels in photosynthetic organisms
Inventor: KO KENTON
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: The DNA construct comprises a 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter, a translational enhancer and transit peptide from the small subunit of Rubisco, a polyadenylation signal, such as from a cab gene, and a gene encoding a nuclear encoded plasmid membrane protein, such as a chlorophyll a/b binding protein.  Specific examples of chlorophyll a/b binding protein genes are Lhca1, Lhca2, Lhca3, Lhca4, Lhcb1, Lhcb2, Lhcb3, Lhcb4, Lhcb5 and Lhcb6. A plant or photosynthetic organism may be transformed with a cloning vector comprising this DNA construct to provide increased conversion of light to chemical energy in the plastid of the plant cell or the cell of the photosynthetic organism. Expression of the DNA construct in a plant will provide increased biomass, enhanced pigmentation, increased carbohydrate content , more uniform growth, larger seeds or fruits, increased stem growth or enhanced photosynthesis under low light conditions, as compared to wild type plants under the same conditions.

Title: Joining device comprising an elongate thin plate with aperatures and barbs that is inserted into recesses or holes formed on abutting members to be connected using the joining device.
Inventor: QUISKAMP GUENTER
IPC: B27M3/00
Filed: 2002-11-11
Abstract: A system for joining two members together such that a first surface of a first member abuts a second surface of a second member in a predetermined relative alignment, said system including: first and second members each provided with a recess in the form of an elongate channel portion, the channel portions being accessible from the first and second surfaces respectively; and an elongate joining device; wherein the joining device is engagable in the channel portions, the joining device includes a body portion resiliently deformable in a direction substantially transverse of the body portion, and an area defined by an external perimeter of a transverse cross section of the joining device corresponds substantially in shape and size with an area defined by a transverse cross section of a channel portion; the arrangement being such that when the channel portions of the first and second members are orientated in longitudinal alignment with each other and the joining device is inserted into the channel portions of the first and second members, the body portion is deformed in the transverse direction and thereby frictionally restricts disengagement of the joining device from the channel portions.
Patent NZ-524391-A (NZ)
Title: Code identification method and system
Inventor: KEECH WINSTON DONALD
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: A method and system for secure identification of a person in an electronic communications environment, wherein a host computer is adapted to be able to communicate with a specific electronic communications device operated by the person. The person is issued with a mask code, known only to the person and stored in the host computer, but never transmitted electronically there between. When the person is required to identify themselves to the host computer, the host computer transmit a pseudo random string to the specific electronic communications device, whereupon the mask code must be applied to the pseudo -random string according to predetermined rules so as to generate a volatile identification code which is then transmitted back to the host computer. Positive identification is achieved when the volatile identification code matches a volatile identification code generated within the host computer by applying the mask code stored therein to the pseudo-random string. In this way, a person's mask code is never transmitted electronically and is therefore relatively safe from interception, and the volatile identification code will be different for each different pseudo-random string, thus making a fraudulently intercepted communication meaningless.
Patent NZ-528183-A (NZ)
Title: Limb restraint
Inventor: WYBROW FRED
IPC: A01K1/06
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: A limb restraint (10) for an animal comprises a first member (12) and a second member (14) which are moveable relative to each other. The members are relatively configured so that when they are moved to a closed position they define a space (16) which is closed sufficiently to prevent the withdrawal of an animal's limb therefrom. When the members are moved to an open position, they define an opening (18) there between through which a limb can be inserted into or withdrawn from the space. An elastic band (20) is coupled between the first and second members and extends across the opening. When an animal's limb is held within the restraint with the members in a closed position, the limb is effectively held between the inside surfaces of the members and the elastic band. The restraint includes a releasable locking mechanism (22) for releasably locking the first and second members together in a plurality of position which progressively reduce the size of the opening 18.
