  • Patent number: 7798743
    Abstract: A composition and method for use of a soy-based material binder is provided. One example method for increasing road stabilization with a soy-based material binder may include determining road base attributes of the road base for application. The method may further include creating a soy-based material binder comprising at least one of a soy protein isolate with a concentration in the range of 1 to 20% of soy protein isolate based on road base attributes. The method may further include determining an amount of soy-based material binder for a volume of application based on the concentration of soy protein isolate in the soy-based material binder and the road base attributes. Further still, the method may include combining the soy-based material binder and the road base wherein the resultant mixture includes soy-based material binder in a range of 0.0001-5 gallons per pound of road base.

  • Publication number: 20010055524
    Abstract: Minibulk quantities, e.g., 500-6000 pounds, of dry, free-flowing feed for large animals, e.g., horses, are delivered to small farms and ranches, e.g., less than fifteen horses, located remote from a distribution center for the feed by a method comprising the steps of: A. Filling a container sealable to the environment with a minibulk quantity of dry, free-flowing, manufactured animal feed at a distribution center for the feed, the container equipped with at least one sealable opening through which the feed can be loaded into and unloaded from the container; B. Transporting the filled container to the site remote from the center; C. Positioning the filled container onto a support rack at a location remote from the manufacturing center, the filled container positioned upon the support rack in a manner such that the feed flows under the force of gravity to the at least one sealable opening of the container; D. Recovering a container depleted of feed from the remote site; and E.
