Abstract: A processing system and method for nationwide commingling of mail items to increase efficiency and lower mailing costs includes a pre-sort facility which creates a first set of diverted mail items and a first set of associated data while a print and mail manufacture facility generates a second set of manufactured mail items and a second set of associated data and then receives the first set of diverted mail items and first set of associated data from the pre-sort facility and then commingles the first and second sets of mail items according to a predetermined set of commingling rules applied to the first and second sets of associated data to produce commingled mail items which reduces postal costs in mailing the commingled mail item.

Abstract: A system and method of operation for proactively grouping disparate mail items that are queued to be produced in a processing facility, wherein the system and method utilize a manufacturing completion schedule for virtually grouping the mail items before physical production occurs and the system and method maximizes profitability by discounting the mail items by applying appropriate discount mailing regulations for virtually grouping the mail items before physical production occurs.

Abstract: A method of coupling tubular bodies is provided, particularly for use in fluid handling systems requiring a fluid-tight, pressurized joint. One tubular body is made from a polymer. The other tubular body is formed as a laminate having a metallic layer and a polymeric layer (e.g., nylon coated aluminum tubing). The tubular bodies are positioned relative to one another (e.g., the laminated tubular body may be inserted within the polymeric tubular body when the polymeric layer of the laminated tubular body is outward of the metallic layer). The tubular bodies are then joined together by induction welding to cause heat transfer from the laminated tubular body's metallic layer to its polymeric layer thereby resulting in deformation of the polymeric layer and bonding of the polymeric layer to a surface of the polymeric tubular body, forming the joint.
