  • Patent number: 7891248
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring wall thicknesses of objects, includes a coordinate measuring machine that has a probe holder and an object support. The coordinate measuring machine is configured to provide relative movement between the probe holder and the object support in three dimensions.

  • Patent number: 5376048
    Abstract: A business form intermediate comprises a sheet that is Z-folded first about first and second fold lines to define an outgoing mailer. The business form has first, second and third panels with an outgoing address area on the first face of the third panel, and an O.P.A.S. patch on the first face of the first panel. The patch obscures a PIN number or other confidential information underneath it. Pressure seal adhesive formed along the margins of the paper sheet of the intermediate holds the panels together once Z-folded. Masking is applied on panel faces as necessary in order to obscure all interior information of the mailer. A reply mailer may be constructed from the second and third panels using a window in the third panel overlying reply address indicia on the second panel first face and rewettable adhesive strips on the second panel first face.
