The present invention relates to methods for making wear and oxidation resistant polymeric materials by high temperature melting. In a preferred embodiment, the pipeline bit handling circuit provides rule enforcement for a P-bit address modifier across a bus bridge between two different buses with different rules for the P-bit address modifier. The biller submits the bill and associated payment remittance information by electronically transmitting it over the Internet to the consumer. The sheet or web can therefore be elevated above edges, holes, or other obstructions in the pathway that could jam or snag the delivery of the material.
