  • Publication number: 20120304980
    Abstract: A method for modifying an open-top burner system to a radiant burner system involves providing a stovetop having an open top burner system which includes a grate, burner head, and a venturi burner. The venturi burner includes an open top annular channel about a central opening. Further provided are a central hole plug, an emitter, and a radiant burner head assembly. To modify the stovetop, the grate and burner head are removed from the stovetop and the central plug is used to block airflow through the central opening. The radiant burner head assembly is next positioned over the venturi burner and the emitter is positioned over the radiant burner head assembly. This series of steps thereby converts the assembly from a traditional open-top burner system to a radiant burner system. A kit may be provided to facilitate the process.

  • Publication number: 20110311561
    Abstract: This invention describes soluble, monovalent, non-natural protein molecules that can activate NK cells and certain T-cells to attack specific cellular target cells by attaching the NKG2D-binding portions of monovalent MICA or MICB protein, i.e. their ?1-?2 platform domain, to the intended target cell specifically. The ?1-?2 domain is contiguous with a heterologous ?3 domain that has been genetically modified to bind directly or indirectly to the extracellular aspect of the target cell, thereby serving as the targeting domain. The genetic modification to create a non-natural and non-terminal targeting motif within the ?3 domain can include a portion of an antibody, another protein molecule or portion thereof, a peptide, or a non-natural, modified ?3 domain of a MIC protein.

  • Publication number: 20110293566
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the discovery and isolation of the entire cluster of genes encoding R-type high molecular weight bacteriocins that specifically kill Clostridium difficile bacteria, dangerous human pathogens. Also disclosed are methods of producing the R-type bacteriocins in innocuous producer cells that, unlike C. difficile, do not die in the presence of oxygen. Disclosed also is the specific gene of the isolated gene cluster that determines the killing spectrum of the R-type bacteriocin and the demonstration that the killing spectra of diffocins can be altered by engineering orf1374 of the diffocin genetic locus. This invention offers a potent bactericidal agent and a means to make it in order to kill selectively C. difficile bacteria in the environment of the gastrointestinal tract where they can cause great harm and even death of the infected patient or farm animal.
