  • Patent number: 5138549
    Abstract: A system for the automatic processing of payroll, corporate profit and excise taxes. A depositor, via a communication link, engages in a question and answer exchange with one of a multiple number of voice synthesizers connected to a processor. Through the exchange, the depositor enters tax deposit information which the processor stores in its memory. At the end a specified time period, the processor stores tax deposit information relating to tax deposits due the same day on a storage medium such as a magnetic tape, and on tax coupons in formats predefined by the government agency. The processor also stores tax deposit information entered during the specified time period on a second storage medium to enable a bank to automatically transfer tax deposits from each depositor's account to a bank account. The system includes remote communication terminals connected by communication links to the processor through which information on depositors and tax deposit due dates is entered.

  • Patent number: 5135789
    Abstract: The invention consists of a method which provides a business form with removable labels. This method produces a business form which maintains its integrity and does not jam or damage production or processing equipment. It includes providing a first web with a bottom release ply, a top label stock ply and adhesive disposed between these two plies for releasably joining the two together. It also provides a second web and places it in side-by-side laterally spaced relation with the first web. The method further includes the step of adhering a splicing strip to the first and second webs to join them together. The resulting form includes the first and second webs disposed in spaced, side-by-side relation. It also includes the splicing strip adhered to the inner edge portions of the first and second webs to connect the first and second webs together.
