Abstract: An antibiotic peptide is made by hydrolyzing milk protein. The hydrolysis is performed with a fungal protease in a single step at a protein concentration of 21 to 35 wt % to a DH of at least about 12%. The resulting antibiotic peptide has at least a log 2 kill of bacteria. It may be coated onto plants or animals or used in foods, medicines, ointment, or pastes.

Abstract: A portable instrument for measuring bodily movement in the lumbar spinal area includes an articulated enclosure having a first housing fastened to the body of a subject by means of a first rigid plate. A hinged second housing is movably connected to a second plate. Both the first and second plates are adapted to be fixed behind the body of a subject with the second plated at a location vertically above the first plate. Transducers or sensors within the housings are used to measure hinged motion between the two housings, as well as relative transverse bending movement and torsional movement between the two plates. These relative movements produce electrical signals that directly correspond to the amount of flexion/extension, lateral bending and axial rotation occurring at the lumbar spine of a monitored subject.

Abstract: A neck exercise apparatus which allows movement about three machine axes which correspond to the cervical axes of flexion/extension, lateral flexion and rotation. Selective resistance to movement about each axis may be provided and torque, position and velocity measurements made with respect to neck movement performance against the resistance.
