What is Trillium® solid?
With its unique formation of uniform salt and silicon particles, TRILLIUM ® carries numerous built-in advantages. TRILLIUM ® Solid consists of a TRILLIUM ® plate and a core alloy, and when launched, the material presented a giant leap for brazing technology.
What are the parts of a trillium plant?
The stem is an extension of the underground rhizome and the leaves are the bracts of the flower. The flowers can be held above the bracts or be found hiding under them. There are 2 major groups of Trilliums- those with the flower held above the bracts on a stem and those without stems or sessile. Flowers can be large and showy or small in size.
What are the two subgenera of Trillium?
The Trillium genus has traditionally been divided into two subgenera, T. subg. Trillium and T. subg. Sessilium, based on whether the flowers are pedicellate or sessile with respect to their attachment to the apex of the scape. The former is considered the more primitive group.
What is Trillium® lean?
TRILLIUM ® Lean is produced through a combined SF/DC (Spray forming / Direct chill casting) casting method and protects the flux underneath a lid, allowing even lower and disgnable post-braze flux residues; less than 1 g/m 2. Figure 6. Layers of TRILLIUM® Lean.
Description
Plants of this genus are perennial herbs growing from rhizomes. There are three large leaf-like bracts arranged in a whorl about a scape that rises directly from the rhizome. There are no true aboveground leaves but sometimes there are scale-like leaves on the underground rhizome. The bracts are photosynthetic and are sometimes called leaves.
Taxonomy
In 1753, Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus established the genus Trillium by recognizing three species, Trillium cernuum, Trillium erectum, and Trillium sessile. The type specimen Trillium cernuum described by Linnaeus was actually Trillium catesbaei, an oversight that subsequently led to much confusion regarding the type species of this genus.
Identification
A fully general dichotomous key requires a mature, flowering plant. The first step is to determine whether or not the flower sits on a pedicel, which determines the subgenus. (Any mature plant may be identified to this extent, even if it is not in bloom.) Identification proceeds based on flower parts, leaves, and other characteristics.
Ecology
Trilliums are myrmecochorous, that is, ants act as agents of seed dispersal. Each seed of a ripe fruit has a white fleshy appendage called an elaiosome. Ants are attracted to the elaiosome, so much so they often bore holes into the fruit instead of waiting for it to drop off on its own.
Conservation
Picking parts off a trillium plant can kill it even if the rhizome is left undisturbed. Some species of trillium are listed as threatened or endangered and collecting these species may be illegal. Laws in some jurisdictions may restrict the commercial exploitation of trilliums and prohibit collection without the landowner's permission.
Medicinal uses
Several species contain sapogenins. They have been used traditionally as uterine stimulants, the inspiration for the common name birthwort. In a 1918 publication, Joseph E. Meyer called it "beth root", probably a corruption of "birthroot". He claimed that an astringent tonic derived from the root was useful in controlling bleeding and diarrhea.
Culture
The white trillium ( Trillium grandiflorum) serves as the official flower and emblem of the Canadian province of Ontario. It is an official symbol of the Government of Ontario. The large white trillium is the official wildflower of Ohio.
Common Name (s)
Trilliums are a native North American wildflower in the lily family of which there are 38 species. In NC they are found in the mountains with a few in the coastal and Piedmont areas. The flowers all have 3 petals and 3 bracts of various colors and the bracts are often mottled.

Synthetic Fills
Pacific Coast Feather Cushion Company’s polyester fiber alternatives are used as blending agents with our feather and down. We use polyester fibers for added resiliency, softness and cushion crown.
Trillium
Our exclusive polyester micro denier fiber was created to mimic the feel of a down plumule. It is finely processed and has a highly siliconized surface which makes it excellent as a blending agent or used alone.
Recycled Polyester Fiber
This fiber is made from reclaimed plastic bottles and can be used for blending with feather. In order to obtain superior loft, we first comb or “pick” the fiber, then blend it with feather and down. We use this fiber primarily for our exclusive FeatherBlend ™ fill.
1. What is the Ontario trillium benefit (OTB)?
The OTB is the combined payment of the Ontario energy and property tax credit, the Northern Ontario energy credit, and the Ontario sales tax credit. The annual OTB entitlement is usually divided by 12 and the payments are issued on the 10th of each month.
2. Am I eligible to get the OTB?
You must meet the eligibility criteria and be entitled to receive a payment for at least one of the following credits to get the OTB: the Ontario energy and property tax credit, the Northern Ontario energy credit, and the Ontario sales tax credit . Click on the links to see if you are eligible.
3. Will I get the OTB if I am qualified for only one or two of the three components of the OTB?
Yes. You only have to be entitled to one of the credits to get an OTB payment.
4. How do I apply for the 2021 OTB?
The OTB has three components: the Ontario energy and property tax credit (OEPTC), the Northern Ontario energy credit (NOEC), and the Ontario sales tax credit (OSTC).
5. When is the 2021 OTB issued?
If you qualify and your 2020 return is assessed by June 10, 2021, in most cases, your 2021 OTB will be issued on the 10th of each month. Since July 10, 2021 falls on a Saturday, the first 2021 OTB payment will be issued on July 9, 2021. See note for exceptions.
9. Can I choose to get my OTB in one payment this year rather than monthly?
If your annual 2021 OTB entitlement is more than $360, you can choose to wait to get your entitlement in one payment at the end of the benefit year, in June 2022, instead of receiving monthly payments from July 2021 to June 2022.
10. If I choose to get my OTB in one payment this year, can I change my mind part way through the year?
Yes. You can either call us at 1-877-627-6645 or write a letter to your tax centre to let us know that you no longer want to wait to receive your OTB in one payment at the end of the benefit year and would rather get monthly payments.
1. Down Pillow Filling
The undercoating of a bird’s feathers is called down. More specifically, it’s the bottom, fluffy part of a bird’s feather. Down holds its loft up to 3 times longer than synthetic alternatives and is very soft.
2. Feather Pillow Filling
Feathers are down’s cheap little brother. We recommend you avoid feathers and spend the extra money on real down.
3. Polyester Fiberfill Pillow Filling
Polyester fiberfill, also referred to by it’s trademarked name, Poly-Fil, is a popular option thanks to its low price. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and did I mention it’s CHEAP? Fiberfill isn’t very breathable, so it can make your pillow fill warm; it will absorb and retain your body heat.
4. Shredded Memory Foam Pillow Filling
Memory foam is manufactured using polyurethane and several other chemicals. Because of this, it unfortunately often emits a strong chemical odor. This “off gassing” of volatile organic compounds is a common and well-documented issue. There are various reports and studies which indicate that memory foam may be somewhat toxic.
5. Buckwheat Hull Pillow Filling
Buckwheat hulls are firm yet highly malleable and breathable, which makes them ideal pillow fill.
6. Microbead Pillow Pillow Filling
Microbeads are also called “uniform polymer particles.” Most microbeads used in pillows is made from a material called polystyrene. You could call them the synthetic alternative to buckwheat hulls. They share a lot of the same characteristics: they promote air flow and they’re malleable as well.
7. Shredded Latex Pillow Filling
Latex pillows are becoming quite popular. They offer good support for your head and neck while retaining a soft feel. Like most memory foam pillows, the most popular latex pillows sold are solid box shaped pieces of latex that aren’t moldable. However, shredded latex pillow filling is moldable and malleable.
Foam
Foam is the most common filling material for sofas, and it comes in a variety of densities. High-density foam provides a firm couch cushion but some people may find it too hard. Low-density foam typically has a soft or medium firmness. It tends to degrade faster than high-density foam.
Feathers and Down
Feather-filled cushions are ideal for people who prioritize softness in a sofa. Feathers are the cheaper option; companies usually use duck or chicken feathers as filling. Down comes from the plush underbellies of geese. Expect to pay more for a sofa with down-filled cushions.
Polyester
Polyester is a good choice for sofa buyers on a budget. It's inexpensive and available in several densities, but it easily flattens out. Soft polyester is smooth, durable and bouncy. "Ply-a" soft polyester is limp and does not bounce back when sat on. Faux-down polyester mimics the look and feel of down for less money.
Batting
Batting is used in foam cushions to keep the filling smooth and prevent it from slipping. Batting comes in two thicknesses: 25.5 ounces and 42.4 ounces. It's typically made from cotton, wool or polyester. Cotton batting may poke through the cushion covering. If this is a concern, consider a cotton-polyester blend.
Overview
Trillium (trillium, wakerobin, toadshade, tri flower, birthroot, birthwort, and sometimes "wood lily") is a genus of about fifty flowering plant species in the family Melanthiaceae. Trillium species are native to temperate regions of North America and Asia, with the greatest diversity of species found in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the southeastern United States.
Description
Plants of this genus are perennial herbs growing from rhizomes. There are three large leaf-like bracts arranged in a whorl about a scape that rises directly from the rhizome. There are no true aboveground leaves but sometimes there are scale-like leaves on the underground rhizome. The bracts are photosynthetic and are sometimes called leaves. The inflorescence is a single flower with three green or reddish sepals and three petals in shades of red, purple, pink, white, yellow, or …

The type specimen Trillium cernuum described by Linnaeus was actually Trillium catesbaei, an oversight that subsequently led to much confusion regarding the type species of this genus.
Initially the Trillium genus was placed in the family Liliaceae. In the nineteenth and early twentiet…
Distribution
Trillium species are native to North America and Asia.
More than three dozen Trillium species are found in North America, most of which are native to eastern North America. Just six species are native to western North America: T. albidum, T. angustipetalum, T. chloropetalum, T. kurabayashii, T. ovatum, and T. petiolatum. Of these, only T. ovatum is pedicellate-flowered.
Identification
A fully general dichotomous key requires a mature, flowering plant. The first step is to determine whether or not the flower sits on a pedicel, which determines the subgenus. (Any mature plant may be identified to this extent, even if it is not in bloom.) Identification proceeds based on flower parts, leaves, and other characteristics. A combination of characteristics is usually required to identify the plant.
