Title: Auto-recoverable auto-certifiable cryptosystems
Inventor: YUNG MARCEL MORDECHAY
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A method is provided for an escrow "cryptosystem" that is overhead-free, does not require a cryptographic tamper-proof hardware implementation (i.e., can be done in software), is publicly verifiable, and cannot be used subliminally to enable a shadow public key system. A shadow public key system is an "unescrowed" public key system that is publicly displayed in a covert fashion. The "cryptosystem" is overhead free since there is no additional protocol interaction between the user who generates his or her own key, and the certification authority or the escrow authorities (11, 12, 13) , in comparison to what is required to submit the public key itself in regular certified public key systems.

Title: Control of target gene expression within a genome by altering RNA synthesis rate
Inventor: PIGANEAU NICOLAS
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: Described is the control of protein synthesis from an mRNA sequence (activation or repression) by inserting a sequence into an untranslated region (UTR) of a gene that confers conditional self-cleavage to the transcribed RNA. Ligand-dependant control of protein production is depicted. Methods and compositions are provided for the control of protein production using particular nucleic acid sequences, inserted within at least one UTR of a gene, which confer ligand-dependant self-cleavage to RNAs transcribed from said gene. Hence, the pre-mRNA or the mRNA can undergo self-cleavage that can be regulated through the presence, or the absence of a ligand. The ligand-controlled cleavage enables one to control protein production with this ligand.

Patent NZ-534878-A (NZ)
Title: Floating semi-submersible oil production and storage arrangement
Inventor: KERON NEIL ALEXANDER
IPC: B63B35/44
Filed: 2003-02-11
Abstract: An arrangement for the storage of marketable quantities of crude oil at a semi-submersible floating production vessel. The storage is achieved by hanging a segmented reinforced concrete tank (2) to the underside of the semi-submersible vessel. The semi-submersible vessel can be an existing semi-submersible drilling rig. By maintaining the mass of the tank and contents slightly greater than the displacement of the tank and by arranging the centre of gravity of the tank below its centre of buoyancy, the metacentric height of the semi-submersible vessel is approved. The storage arrangement for the oil provides the necessary maintenance of mass by either storing approximately 4/5 of the oil in oil-over-water chambers and approximately 1/5 in gas-over-oil chambers or by using a gas-over-oil-over-water arrangement in all the chambers. The piping arrangements minimize the free surface of liquids in the tank. The design ensures the internal pressure in the tank can be less than the external pressure which minimizes required reinforcement. The design provides a net positive suction head to oil export pumps located above the storage tank in a location which allows easy maintenance. The design allows all pumps, valves and instrumentation necessary for handling ballast water to be maintained within the hull of the semi-submersible where they can be easily maintained. The design allows all the valves, pumps and instrumentation necessary for handling oil to be in locations where they can be easily maintained.
