Abstract: A business form or mailer intermediate having a built-in laminated portion is provided. The form or mailer includes a base ply provided on or in one panel and a film ply provided in a second panel. When the form or mailer is folded about a fold line, the film ply adheres to the base ply with a laminating adhesive. The base ply to be laminated may be a card or label.

Abstract: A stable ammonium polyphosphate liquid fertilizer is prepared from concentrated wet-process phosphoric acid of 54-62% P.sub.2 O.sub.5, which prior to concentration is treated with a cation exchange resin to remove magnesium and calcium without appreciable reduction of iron and aluminum. The liquid fertilizer will remain substantially sludge-free when stored at 25.degree. C. for six months without the addition of any sequestering or suspending agent.

Abstract: An analog signal is sampled in response to a sampling command. Each time that the analog signal, or the difference between the analog signal and the previous sample thereof, crosses a respective reference level, a digital signal is produced. Each digital signal consists of a code representing the level crossing or incremental change in level which has occurred and a count representing the time which has elapsed since the last sample command. A digital signal is also produced if the elapsed time reaches a predetermined period. On production of each digital signal, a sampling command is produced and the elapsed time counting is recommenced. The digital signals constitute a digital representation of the analog signal. The converter is particularly useful for converting analog signals having both very high and very low frequency portions, such as current surges which occur on telephone lines affected by lightning (high frequency) and 60 Hz induction (low frequency).
