Patents by Inventor Gaofeng Lin

Gaofeng Lin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8916752
    Abstract: The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D, but also to pyridyloxyacetate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention “stacked” together with one or more other herbicide resistance genes. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the development of, and controlling, strains of weeds that are resistant to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate. The preferred enzyme and gene for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD-12 (AryloxyAlkanoate Dioxygenase). This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait and selectable marker opportunities.

  • Publication number: 20140146087
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a display method for improving the usability of an electrical device. The method comprises acquiring a first operation; judging whether the first operation meets a preset condition; when it is determined by the judgment that the first operation meets the preset condition, adjusting the position of a first object comprised in the common region from a first position in the display unit to a second position in the display unit, the first position being different from the second position. The present invention also discloses an electrical device for implementing the method.

  • Publication number: 20140149933
    Abstract: The invention provides a display method for sharing information among various users. The method includes: detecting a first operation, where the first operation is associated with an object needed to be displayed; in response to the first operation, determining a first identifier from invoked usage information; displaying an interface needed to be displayed corresponding to the object needed to be displayed in a first display area corresponding to the first identifier. The invention further provides an electronic device to implement the method.

  • Patent number: 8673583
    Abstract: Described herein are monoclonal antibodies and methods useful for determining and quantitating the presence of AAD-1 (aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase) enzyme. These monoclonal antibodies are surprisingly well suited for detecting AAD-1 transgenic event gene products in a variety of plants and plant tissues. The invention further provides quantitative and qualitative immunoassays using the immunoglobulins of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8609420
    Abstract: Provided are methods for introducing a molecule of interest into a plant cell having a cell wall by using a QD-peptide conjugate having a quantum dot (QD) with one or more cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). Methods are provided for genetically or otherwise modifying plants and for treating or preventing disease in plant cells comprising a cell wall.

  • Patent number: 8581036
    Abstract: A method of introducing a molecule of interest into a plant cell having a cell wall includes interacting a gamma-zein peptide with a molecule of interest to form a gamma-zein linked structure. The gamma-zein linked structure is then placed in contact with the plant cell having a cell wall, and allowing uptake of the gamma-zein linked structure into the plant cell. Alternatively, a gene of interest can be expressed in a plant cell having an intact cell wall by interacting a gamma-zein peptide with the gene of interest to form a gamma-zein linked gene structure, allowing uptake of the gamma-zein linked gene structure into the plant cell, and expressing the gene of interest in the plant cell and its progeny.
