摘要： An apparatus for the automated processing of bulk mail which incorporates a number of operating stations that serve to accomplish the various aspects of mail extraction, as well as the subsequent processing of extracted documents, and which are operatively associated with one another to serially process envelopes and extracted documents in continuous fashion and substantially independent of their characteristic features. To this end, the operating stations of the apparatus are configured to be as independent as possible of the characteristics of the envelopes and their contents so that envelopes and contents of varied characteristics can be effectively handled by the apparatus without requiring any significant adjustments. As a result, the apparatus is made capable of processing (as a single job if desired) envelopes and contents of varied characteristics, reducing the need to remove non-conforming envelopes and contents from further processing, and increasing the versatility and productivity of the apparatus.

摘要： Operations associated with the reciprocating suction arms of a mail extraction device are modified to prevent bleed through from occurring as the opposing faces of an envelope are spread open by the reciprocating arms by drawing an air flow through the suction arms which is sufficient to draw the envelope faces to the suction arms without necessitating their contact with the envelope, and each other. This may be achieved using a vacuum pump of increased output, or by developing a burst in air flow drawn by the suction arms, at an appropriate point just prior to their closure.

摘要： Abstract A material handling system, comprising: a plurality of storage locations; a track adjacent the storage locations, wherein a first group of the storage locations is disposed on a first side of the track and a second group of the storage locations is disposed on a second side of the track; a plurality of vehicles for delivering items to the storage locations or retrieving items from the storage locations, wherein the vehicles travel along the track in an aisle between the first and second groups of storage locations; an output station positioned along the track; a controller for independently controlling each vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to control one of the vehicles to retrieve an item from one of the storage locations and then advance the vehicle with the item toward the output station, wherein when the vehicle approaches the output station the controller is configured to control the vehicle so that the vehicle drives upwardly and stops at the output station to present the contents to the operator so that the operator can readily remove the item from the vehicle, wherein the controller is further configured to advance the vehicle away from the output station after the operator removes the item from the vehicle.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for sorting items to a plurality of sort destinations. The items are fed into the apparatus at an input station having a scanning station. The scanning station evaluates one or more characteristics of each item. The items are then loaded onto one of a plurality of independently controlled delivery vehicles. The delivery vehicles are individually driven to sort destinations. Once at the appropriate sort destination, the delivery vehicle ejects the item to the sort destination and returns to receive another item to be delivered. A re-induction conveyor may be provided for receiving select items from the vehicles and conveying the items back to the input station for re-processing. Additionally, a controller is provided to control the movement of the vehicles based on a characteristic each item being delivered by each vehicle. The system may also include vehicles having edge-detection assemblies for detecting items being loaded onto or discharged from the vehicles.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for sorting or retrieving items to/from a plurality of destinations areas (100). The items are loaded onto one of a plurality of independently controlled delivery vehicles (200). The delivery vehicles (200) follow a path to/from the destination areas(100) that are positioned along the path. Along the path, the vehicles (200) are scanned to determine if any item on the vehicles extends beyond a dimensional constraint. If it is determined that an item on a vehicle (200) extends above the pre-determined threshold, the vehicle is controlled, such as by stopping or re-directing the vehicle. Once at the appropriate destination area (100), an item is transferred between the delivery vehicle (200) and the destination area.

摘要： A method for operating an automated storage and retrieval system includes transferring a first item storage container from an aisle to a first region of a first storage location, positioning a second item storage container in the aisle proximate the first item storage container, interlocking the second item storage container to the first item storage container by engaging a releasable coupling structure extending there between, and applying, in a first direction transverse to the aisle, a force to the second item storage container sufficient in magnitude and duration to cause the first item storage container to occupy the second region of the first storage location and the second item storage container to occupy the first region of the first storage location, whereby the first and second item storage containers remain interlocked while in the first storage location.
