Abstract: In a currency alarm pack, greater flexibility is achieved by multiple circuit boards and an alarm device, connected together by a thin, flexible substrate having printed conductors. The components are movable relative to one another for realistic flexure of the stack. At least two of the components are slidable relative to the stack along its direction of elongation as the stack is flexed. Portions of the substrate have tabs which extend laterally between opposed peripheral portions of adjacent intermediate sheets of the currency pack so that the alarm components are supported and can slide longitudinally as the stack is flexed. Adjacent components are connected by narrow portions of the substrate, which permit torsion of the stack. These narrow portions extend transverse to the surfaces of the currency sheets to allow the alarm components a high degree of relative movement. Compressible foam pads conceal the presence of the alarm components.

Abstract: Microcapsule formulations are combined with emulsions or particle dispersions in a single-package formulation which is storage-stable and provides substantially the full efficacy of each of the two forms as if applied individually. The single-package formulation is suspension having two dispersed phases--the first being an active species encapsulated in a shell of inert polymeric diffusion-limiting material (i.e., a microcapsule), and the second being an active species in water-insoluble form with no diffusion-limiting barrier at its surface. An appropriate suspension system is included to prevent the dispersed phases from agglomerating within themselves and with each other. The invention is useful in combining two different active ingredients as well as in combining immediate-delivery and delayed-delivery forms of the same active ingredient.
