  • Patent number: 8151999
    Abstract: A septic tank or storage tank has a corrugated thermoplastic wall which has a composite layered structure. A tank wall comprises an inner layer of solid plastic for containing liquid; an outer layer made of solid plastic, for resisting external mechanical forces, and a middle layer of closed cell foam plastic for both resisting liquid flow which penetrates the inner or outer layer and for heat retention which encourages biological processes. In an embodiment, the middle layer has less than about 55 percent of the density of the inner and outer layers, and the inner layer is substantially thinner than the outer layer. The three layers are integrally attached at the time of formation of the tank by rotational molding. The tank has good resistance to mechanical forces and provides insulation.

  • Publication number: 20050214433
    Abstract: A ready to drink coffee beverage comprising a coffee portion, said coffee portion comprising a principal coffee component and N relevant coffee components, where N is a number in the range of from about 1 to about 20, wherein the principal coffee component corresponds to a principal coffee component of a second coffee and the relevant coffee components correspond to relevant coffee components of the second coffee, and wherein the total concentration of the principal coffee component is in the range of from about 50% below to about 50% above the total concentration of the corresponding principal coffee component in the second coffee, and wherein the value of the total concentration of the principal coffee component divided by the total concentration of each of the relevant coffee components is within the range of from about 50% below to about 50% above the value of the total concentration of the corresponding principal coffee component in the second coffee divided by the total concentration of the correspondin
