The oat flour process starts in Minneapolis before being shipped to factories in Iowa, Georgia, and Buffalo, New York.

Solid Torus
In mathematics, a solid torus is the topological space formed by sweeping a disk around a circle. It is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product S^1 \times D^2 of the disk and the circle, endowed with the product topology. A standard way to visualize a solid torus is as a toroid, embedded in 3-space. However, it should be distinguished from a torus, which has the same visual appearance: the torus is the two-dimensional space on the boundary of a toroid, while the solid torus includes also the compact interior space enclosed by the torus. A solid torus is a torus plus the volume inside the torus. Real-world objects that approximate a ''solid torus'' include O-rings, non-inflatable lifebuoys, ring doughnuts, and bagels. Topological properties The solid torus is a connected, compact, orientable 3-dimensional manifold with boundary. The boundary is homeomorphic to S^1 \times S^1, the ordinary torus. Since the disk D^2 is contractible, the solid torus has the homotopy type o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
