Patents by Inventor Margaret Batten

Margaret Batten 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: 9526746
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for tissue regeneration, particularly for treating skin lesions such as wounds. In one aspect, the invention provides a wound healing composition comprising living cells such as fibroblasts within a support matrix such as fibrin, in which the cells have a wound healing phenotype, and in which the composition is single layered and has been incubated for up to about 8 days to allow development of the wound healing phenotype. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful especially for assisting the process of wound healing, particularly chronic open lesions that are slow to heal or resistant to healing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.
    Inventors: Paul Kemp, Györgyi Talas, Jennifer Sutherland, Margaret Batten, Penelope Ann Johnson, Andrew Shering, Michael McWhan
  • Patent number: 9248153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for tissue regeneration, particularly for treating skin lesions such as wounds. In one aspect, the invention provides wound healing composition characterized by the higher expression levels of phenotypic marker genes such as apolipoprotein D, matrix metalloprotease (2), collagen 3a1 and smooth muscle actin than the housekeeping gene ribosomal protein L32. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful especially for assisting the process of wound healing, particularly chronic open lesions that are slow to heal or resistant to healing.

  • Patent number: 6075864
    Abstract: The encryption key based on a blocking set cryptosystem includes knowledge of the blocking set, and ciphers (usually independent) on the blocking set and its complement. In order to decipher, a legitimate receiver needs to know only the blocking set and the cipher used on it. Thus it is not necessary for the sender to transmit to anyone the cipher on the complement of the blocking set. The fact that part of the encryption key need not be transmitted is the fundamental difference between the proposed cryptosystem and the so-called private key system, where both the sender and receiver know, but keep secret, the encryption and decryption keys. Particularly useful applications of this scheme are two situations where a central person, institution or computer send out confidential information to several parties, but where none of the parties has the authority to transmit information to the group. This might apply to the main branch of a company, or to a certification authority in a cryptographic protocol.
