Hans Luethy 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: 8236938
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are assays for detecting the presence of a lysine-increasing transgenic event based on the DNA sequence of the exogenous DNA construct inserted into the maize genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Also provided are transgenic plants having a novel exogenous DNA construct that expresses a dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase, the activity of which results in increased lysine in a plant or plant product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 7, 2012
    Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC
    Inventors: Mark A. Dizigan, Rebecca A. Kelly, Dale A. Voyles, Michael Hans Luethy, Thomas M. Malvar, Kathleen P. Malloy

  • Patent number: 7157281
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel DNA constructs encoding dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase that are useful for generating transgenic events. Also provided are transgenic plants harboring such DNA constructs, the expression of which results in increased lysine in the plant or plant product. Also provided are maize plants having LY038 Event and progeny thereof having this event. Additionally disclosed are assays for detecting the presence of a lysine-increasing transgenic event based on the DNA sequence of the exogenous DNA construct inserted into the maize genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site.

  • Patent number: 4816798
    Abstract: An electrical protection switch, or circuit breaker, includes a movable contact part rotatably seated on a bolt which is secured to a leg of a mount. The other leg of the mount lies against a flange of a coil member which forms a portion of a magnetic release means. Two retaining elements extending parallel to one another and mutually spaced apart project from this flange. The retaining elements accept one leg of the mount therebetween and are provided with resilient tongues which press against the leg of the mount lying against the flange and, thus, press the leg against the flange. Fastening of the mount having the movable contact part to the magnetic release means, or coil member, is performed simply by slipping the mount onto the coil member by a snap-in connection.
