Title: Use of zinc finger proteins to regulate gene expression
Inventor: EISENBERG STEPHEN P
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-01-12
Abstract: A method of modulating expression of an endogenous cellular gene in a cell (i.e. a gene that is native to a cell and which is in its normal genomic and chromatin context) comprises contacting a target site in such gene with a zinc finger protein preferably having a dissociation constant (K<SB>d</SB>) of less than 25 nM. The said protein may be a fusion zinc finger protein comprising a regulatory domain such as a transcriptional repressor or activator, an endonuclease, a methyl transferase, a histone deacetylase or a histone acetyltransferase. A second target site in the endogenous gene may be contacted with a second zinc finger protein and inhibition or activation of expression may be effected.

Title: Slug traps
Inventor: FORD DAVID ANDREW
IPC: A01M25/00
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: A slug trap (Figure 3) comprises an elongate member (10,42) for implanting, generally horizontally, part way into the ground (32). The member when so implanted forms a slug capture chamber (30), part way below ground level, in which slug bait and/or poison (34) can be placed. The member having at least one aperture (20) along its length to permit a slug to access the chamber from the outside. The slug bait or poison can therefore be contained in the chamber and the slugs have access to it through the aperture, but access to the bait or poison for larger creatures or children is more difficult, and the bait or poison is protected from the elements so as to prolong its life. In one form, the slug trap is disguised as a garden edging. Another slug trap (Figure 6) comprises a member (58) for placing on the ground (32) to form a stand (54) for a plant container (56) or garden ornament. The member has a slug capture chamber (30) in which slug bait and/or poison (34) can be placed. The member has at least one aperture (20) through a wall (62) thereof to permit a slug to access the chamber from the outside. The slug trap is therefore disguised as a normal garden feature, and the trap can be arranged to hinder access to the slug bait or poison by creatures larger than slugs and to protect the bait or poison from the elements so as to prolong its life.

Title: Bonding metal to non-metal using two layer adhesive
Inventor: KAPP JEFFREY
IPC: B32B15/08
Filed: 2001-06-30
Abstract: A structual component 11 comprises a metal substrate 12 bonded to a non-metallic substrate 13 by a method which includes the steps of applying a thin coating 14 of a first adhesive to a joint face 15 of the metal substrate, applying a second adhesive compatible with the first adhesive to the coated joint face 15 or to a complementary joint face 16 on the non-metallic substrate 13 and bringing the joint faces together to form a bond gap containing a layer 17 of the second adhesive. The coating 14 of the first adhesive is cured before the second adhesive is applied and the layer 17 of the second adhesive is cured once the joint faces 15 and 16 are brought together. The metal substrate is typically acid anodised aluminium 6060 and the first adhesive is a high modulus heat curing epoxy. The first adhesive is applied to the joint face 15 to a depth D<SB>1</SB> of substantially 0.5 mm or less and is cured to form a relatively hard coating. The non-metallic substrate 13 is an epoxy resin / carbon fibre resin transfer moulding (RTM). The second adhesive is a low modulus two part epoxy applied as an extrusion which is flattened when the joint faces are brought together to form a bond gap D<SB>2</SB> of substantially 1.5 mm or greater and containing the coating 14 of the first adhesive and the layer 17 of the second adhesive. The layer 17 of the second adhesive cures at ambient temperatures and is relatively flexible.
