  • Composition and Method of an Orally Administered Antimicrobial Peptide Vectored in a Bacterial Expression Vehicle
    Publication number: 20240102027
    Abstract: The inventive subject matter includes an antimicrobial peptide vectored composition made of a bacterial protein expression vehicle expressing one or more recombinant antimicrobial peptide effector molecules. More specifically these novel recombinant antimicrobial peptide effector molecules exhibit preferential antimicrobial activity. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial activity is facilitated via interaction with the lipid bilayer of the parasitic cell form, leading to membrane pore formation and resulting in cell lysis. The utility of the current inventive subject matter has demonstrated a reduced viability of Eimeira acervulina sporozoites was shown in vitro using a sporozoite killing assay.

  • Apparatus and method for decoupling an element that is bonded to a surface by adhesive
    Patent number: 11260647
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for decoupling an element that is bonded to a surface by an adhesive are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a body, a first spool that is rotationally coupled to the body, and a cable having a first cable end portion that is coupled to the first spool, a second cable end portion that is coupled to the body, and a cable intermediate portion that is disposed between the first cable end portion and the second cable end portion. The apparatus is configured to be positioned adjacent to at least one of the element and the surface with the cable intermediate portion disposed adjacent to the adhesive such that when the first spool is rotated, the cable wraps about the first spool, thereby pulling the cable intermediate portion through the adhesive.
