  • Publication number: 20080210134
    Abstract: A process to make, in part, a refined material for use as crystallization accelerant in cementitious products. Evidence shows that calcium carbonate Fines (Ca+ ions) accelerate the crystallization process of CSH (Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate) phases which lends many advantages in cementitious products. The (PCC) fines materials from the sugar beet processing byproducts consist of these materials with various elements mixed or attached. This process selects for advantageous particles and discards others. This process includes, but is not limited to removing part of the undesirable material by either by screening or biodigestion of the lime to utilize energy contained in said unwanted material to dry in part said particles of PCC to specific moisture content and then screening the material to the remove more unwanted material and size PCC to spec necessary for cementitious materials.

  • Publication number: 20080184408
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinctive short-day type cultivar designated as ‘Palomar’. ‘Palomar’ is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to ‘Camino Real’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,079), but with higher quality fruit, lower cull rate and lighter colored fruit; it is similar to ‘Ventana’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,469), but with a more compact plant, superior fruit quality, and firmer, better flavored fruit.

  • Publication number: 20050172374
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinctive day-neutral type cultivar designated as ‘Albion’. ‘Albion’ is a day-neutral (everbearing) cultivar similar to ‘Diamante’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,435), but with higher quality fruit, lower cull rate, darker fruit, and substantially better resistance to Phytophthora cactorum; it is similar to ‘Aromas’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,451), but with larger, higher quality, firmer and better-flavored fruit.
