| 20110275102 | ACTIVATION OF MUTATED RAC-PK - The invention concerns RAC-PK and fragments thereof, as well as activators and inhibitors of RAC-PK for use as medicaments, particularly in the treatment of diseases concerned with abnormalities in processes modulated by insulin, such as cellular proliferation, insulin deficiency and/or excess blood sugar levels. Moreover, the invention provides RAC-PK for use in screening potential mimics or modulators thereof. A method for screening for agents capable of affecting the activity of GSK3 is also disclosed. The invention further provides a screening kit comprising the RAC-PK as an active principle, and a method for screening compounds which are candidate mimics or modulators of RAC-PK activity comprising detecting specific interactions between the candidate compounds and RAC-PK. There is also provided a process for activating RAC-PK comprising treatment thereof with a phosphatase inhibitor. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20100097893 | Method and Apparatus for Locating the Surface of Solid Growth Culture Media in a Plate - A method for locating the surface of a solid growth culture medium in a plate in a plate work position, the plate work position including a sensor and having a datum level fixed in one dimension (z), the method including: ˜placing the plate in the plate work position; ˜using the sensor to sense the medium surface for the positioned plate and measuring the distance to the medium surface; and ˜referencing the measured distance to the datum level to determine a surface positional reference, relative to the datum level, in one dimension (z) for the surface of the medium in the positioned plate. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100173416 | Method and Apparatus for Inoculating and Streaking a Medium in a Plate - An apparatus for inoculating and streaking a solid growth culture medium in a plate, the streaking using a streaking applicator having a line of resiliently and flexibly supported spaced apart contact surfaces, the apparatus including: (a) an inoculating and streaking station including: a plate work position having a notional action line fixed in two dimensions (x,y) in a predetermined position; and a plate rotation device for rotating a positioned plate to cause streaking; (b) a sensor capable of locating the surface of the medium in a positioned plate to thereby determine for that plate, prior to inoculation and streaking of that plate, the third dimension (z) of the action line; (c) an inoculating device capable of dispensing inoculum, along the action line, on the surface of the medium in the positioned plate; and (d) a streaking device capable of moving the streaking applicator such that its line of spaced apart contact surfaces contacts, along the action line, the surface of the medium in the positioned plate, prior to rotation of the positioned plate for streaking. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20110189446 | Process and System for Fabrication of Patterns on a Surface - The invention provides a system and process of patterning structures on a carbon based surface comprising exposing part of the surface to an ion flux, such that material properties of the exposed surface are modified to provide a hard mask effect on the surface. A further step of etching unexposed parts of the surface forms the structures on the surface. The inventors have discovered that by controlling the ion exposure, alteration of the surface structure at the top surface provides a mask pattern, without substantially removing any material from the exposed surface. The mask allows for subsequent ion etching of unexposed areas of the surface leaving the exposed areas raised relative to the unexposed areas thus manufacturing patterns onto the surface. For example, a Ga+ focussed ion beam exposes a pattern onto a diamond surface which produces such a pattern after its exposure to a plasma etch. The invention is particularly suitable for patterning of clear well-defined structures down to nano-scale dimensions. | 08-04-2011 |
