Abstract: A method of manufacturing a beam comprises rolling, in a longitudinally profiled rolling process, two flange pieces (6,7), such that one surface (8) of each rolled flange piece is profiled according to a predetermined thickness profile; and joining (12,13) the rolled flange pieces together via a web of the beam or by profiled surfaces of the flanges.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved poultry breeder feed diet composition and uses incorporating the feed diet composition. The breeder feed diet compositions include byproduct or waste material from citrus juice extraction. The citrus peel byproduct compositions improve poultry breeder characteristics and economics.

Abstract: The presence of both a water sizing agent and an oil sizing agent in a paper making furnish is detrimental in that each has an adverse effect on the sizing property of the other. It has now been found that this adverse effect can be counteracted or lessened by the presence in the furnish of a polyvinylamine.

Abstract: Orange juice products are provided which include as a component juice extracted from a mid-season round orange cultivar having a peak harvest season in December, January and February. The preferred mid-season round orange cultivar is the Vernia cultivar. The juice extracted from such mid-season cultivar has sensory attributes which are superior to those of traditional late season Valencia round orange cultivar juice. The mid-season juice has a Brix-to-acid ratio and a color intensity at least as high as juice provided by the traditional Valencia cultivars which are harvested at the same time as the mid-season cultivar.

Abstract: Orange juice is provided which includes as a component juice extracted from a very early season round orange cultivar which is not a Hamlin cultivar. The juice extracted from such very early season cultivar has sensory attributes which are superior to those of Hamlin fresh juice. The very early season juice has a Brix-to-acid ratio and a color intensity in excess of those provided by Hamlin cultivars which are harvested at the same time as the very early season cultivar. Preferred very early season cultivars are within the Seleta family or are Westin cultivars or are Ruby Nucellar cultivars.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved poultry feed diet composition and uses incorporating the feed composition. The feed composition includes byproduct or waste material from citrus juice extraction. The citrus byproduct or waste is at a concentration characteristic of a feed supplement. These feed supplements improve poultry characteristics and enhance feed conversion when compared with traditional poultry feed diets or supplements which rely on components that are not in their respective native states as present in citrus byproduct from juice extraction equipment.

Abstract: A pipette tip member has an elongated tubular receptacle including a sidewall with a plurality of stabilizing projections extending from the sidewall for aligning the pipette shaft, and a sidewall with a bifurcated section that includes first, second, and third sidewall portions. The first sidewall portion defines a base wall and the second and third sidewall portions branch therefrom. The second sidewall portion is an outside branch wall, and the third sidewall portion is an inside branch wall spaced substantially parallel with and radially inward from the second sidewall portion. The inside branch wall is flexible in the radial direction and engages a pipette shaft when it is inserted into the receptacle and to form a fluid-tight seal therewith. A method of forming a pipette tip member is also enclosed.

Abstract: An improved poultry bedding litter composition is used which includes byproduct or waste material from citrus juice extraction. The citrus peel byproduct or waste preferably is in a dried and flaked state. Such bedding litter compositions improve poultry characteristics and enhance feed conversion when compared with traditional poultry bedding litters such as wood shavings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing aseptically processed low acid products in a container having a small opening, such as a glass or plastic bottle or jar, at a high output processing speed.

Abstract: An improved poultry bedding litter composition includes byproduct or waste material from citrus juice extraction. The citrus peel byproduct or waste litter containing compositions improve poultry characteristics and enhance feed conversion when compared with traditional poultry bedding litters. They also reduce ammonia formation and are very beneficial in addressing litter beetle problems.
