  • Publication number: 20090107676
    Abstract: Methods of cementing are provided including a method comprising: a method of cementing in a well bore comprising providing a storable cement composition; placing the storable cement composition in an annulus in a reverse-circulation direction using cementing equipment supported by a trailer, wherein the annulus is formed by an outer surface of a casing in the well bore and an inner wall of the well bore; and allowing the storable cement composition to set in the annulus. In some embodiments, the storable cement composition may comprise a hydraulic cement, an aqueous fluid, and a set retarder. In some embodiments, a storable cement composition may be transported to the well bore using a trailer connected to a towing vehicle. Additional methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5690950
    Abstract: A composition and method for killing insect larvae, in particular, fly larvae, in poultry houses, manure piles, or other sites of habitation are disclosed. The composition consists of one or more C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 aliphatic carboxylic acids or alkali metal, alkaline earth, ammonia, primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary ammonium salts in an acceptable formulation for larvacides. The formulation may be applied dry, as an aerosol, or in aqueous or organic solvents.

  • Patent number: 5447917
    Abstract: This invention discloses edible formulations and pharmaceutical compositions containing D-tagatose and the effect of consumption of such formulations on blood level of glucose. D-Tagatose was found to be an anti-hyperglycemic agent. In addition, consumption of D-tagatose in sweetened formulations to inhibit formation of advanced glycosylation end-products in mammals is disclosed. The combination of the anti-hyperglycemic effect and the inhibition of formation of glycosylated proteins and nucleic acids make D-tagatose an ideal agent for alleviating the complications resulting from hyperglycemia, including acceleration of the aging process.

  • Patent number: 5078796
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the synthesis of D-tagatose by isomerizing a mixture containing D-galactose with a metal hydroxide in the presence of a catalyst at a relatively low temperature to form an intermediate metal hydroxide-D-tagatose complex, and then neutralizing the intermediate with acid to yield D-tagatose. The method is also suitable for the synthesis of L-tagatose from L-galactose, and for the recovery of pure tagatose from crude tagatose syrups. Whey, deproteinized whey, or lactose may be used as the raw material for the D-galactose. The lactose in such cases is hydrolyzed to D-galactose and D-glucose before the isomerization step.
