Patent number: 9593363Abstract: A screening method for identifying an agent as effective for providing an anti-aging skin benefit is provided. The screening method includes culturing first and second human skin samples from about 3 days to about 19 days, wherein the first and second human skin samples are derived from a human skin surgical waste tissue. The first human skin sample is contacted with at least one test agent. The second human skin sample is contacted with a positive control. Transcriptional profiles are generated from the first and second human skin samples, and the at least one test agent is identified as effective for providing an anti-aging skin benefit when the transcriptional profiles of at least two genes show a similar directional change in comparison to one or more untreated control tissue samples.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Deborah Ruth Finlay, Rosemarie Osborne, Charles Carson Bascom

Patent number: 9542536Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for sustained data protection. In particular, a data protector may define a set of access levels associated with content within data using a set of access policies (e.g., a partial access level to inventory data for an inventory server, a full access level to inventory data and billing data for a shopping website server, etc.). The data protector may secure (e.g., encrypt) the data to create protected data, so that clients may be unable to access content of the protected data without obtaining access through the data protector. In this way, the data protector may selectively provide clients with access to content within the protected data according to respective access levels for the different clients (e.g., access to inventory data, but not billing data, may be provided to the inventory server by the data protector).Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sean Andrew Suchter, Ho John Lee, Charles Carson, Scott Banachowski, Yuri Romanenko, Eric Wai Ho Lau
