Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antimicrobial agents and methods of using such agents. The disclosure includes antimicrobial agents having broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, nucleic acids and amino acid sequences encoding such antimicrobial agents, as well as methods of using the antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial agents of the disclosure may be used to reduce survival of a microbe, as an antimicrobial therapeutic, in microbial treatment protocols, and in research, as well as other uses related to reducing microbe survival. In addition, the disclosure also includes compositions, as well as articles of manufacture, that comprise a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: A resistance welding apparatus characterized by very low output impedance, and providing a substantially constant voltage source to low impedance (e.g., resistances on the order of 1-100 micro-ohms) materials-to-be-joined. The welding apparatus includes one or more primary and secondary winding pairs disposed about a high permeability core with the secondary coil(s) positioned between the primary coil(s) and the core. In a preferred form, the secondary coil(s) are capable of delivering more than 75,000 amperes of welding current. The welding apparatus is lighter, more cost efficient, and more energy efficient than conventional systems.
