Michael Bevan 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).

  • Methods of modulating seed and organ size in plants
    Patent number: 12247210
    Abstract: This invention relates to the expression a DA1 protein with a mutation that disrupts or inactivates the LIM domain or the LIM-like domain within cells of a plant. This may increase the yield or enhance a yield-related trait of the plant. Methods, plants and plant cells are provide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 11, 2025
    Assignee: Plant Bioscience Limited
    Inventors: Michael Bevan, Jack Dumenil
  • PREVENTING ELECTRIC VEHICLE BRAKE TORQUE
    Publication number: 20240308498
    Abstract: A controller, while a motor is deactivated and a corresponding inverter is disabled, enables an engine for propulsion of a vehicle such that the motor rotates at a speed due to the propulsion, and commands variable voltage control circuitry to generate a target input voltage for the inverter that is based on a speed limit for the vehicle such that the speed of the motor corresponding to the vehicle travelling results in zero braking torque from the motor and zero charging current flow to a traction battery.

  • METHODS OF MODULATING SEED AND ORGAN SIZE IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20230203519
    Abstract: This invention relates to a plant E3 ubiquitin ligase (termed DA2) which acts synergistically with DA1 to control seed and organ size. Methods of increasing plant yield are provided that comprise reducing the expression or activity of DA2 in a plant that is deficient in DA1 expression or activity. Plants with increased yield and methods of producing such plants are also provided.
