摘要： In one embodiment, an article sorting system includes successive coarse and fine singulators and a recirculating loop for processing a disordered stream of items including three-dimensional non-flat articles. A coarse singulator includes cascaded ramped conveyors, preferably operating at progressively greater speeds. A detection system, such as a vision system, for monitoring the stream of articles and identifying and/or tracking individual items passing through the system is used in conjunction with a fine singulator such as a chevron, hold-and-release or strip conveyor downstream from the coarse singulator. A control system is utilized in connection with the vision system to regulate the flow of articles through the system by, for example, diverting doubles or clusters for separations. A method of sorting articles includes steps of singulating a disordered stream of items with multiple singulating steps including a coarse singulating step for mechanically increasing the spacing between items in the stream, and a fine singulating step in which individual items are monitored and/or identified and tracked as they traverse the system. A divert apparatus which can be provided for diverting oversize/overweight articles or unwanted clusters of unsingulated articles includes an angled roller conveyor and a gate for discharging articles from the stream of articles to be processed.

摘要： A hold-and-release singulator includes a conveyor having a transport mechanism for carrying a group of items such as parcels, packages, containers or the like from an entry end towards an exit end of the singulator, a hold and release system that can hold items that have entered the singulator on the conveyor so that such items are not transported by the conveyor while causing one item to be transported by the conveyor, and a control system that controls operation of the conveyor and the hold-and-release system in a manner effective to remove the group of items from the exit end of the conveyor one at a time according to a removal scheme, preferably with a predetermined minimum spacing. The hold and release system can take several forms, such as a mechanism for selectively actuating a portion of the conveyor at a time to remove an item from the exit end of the conveyor, or a mechanism that can hold items off of the conveyor surface so that such items are not transported when the conveyor is running, and selectively set items onto the conveyor surface so that such items are transported when the conveyor is running. In the latter case, the control system controls operation of the conveyor and the hold-and-release system in a manner effective to hold a group of items off of the conveyor surface and then lower the items according to the removal scheme so that the items leave the exit end of the conveyor one at a time with a predetermined minimum spacing. The items may be supported from beneath by a series or array of supports which lift the items, or an arm may suspend the items from above to hold the items off of the conveyor surface.
摘要翻译：保持和释放分离器包括具有运送机构的输送机，该输送机构用于承载诸如包裹，包装，容器等的一组物品，从入口端朝向分离器的出口端，保持和释放系统，其可以保持在输送机上进入分割器的物品，使得这些物品不会被输送机运送，同时使一个物品被输送机运送;以及控制系统，其控制输送机和保持释放系统的操作有效地根据移除方案，优选以预定的最小间隔一次一个地从输送机的出口端去除一组物品。保持和释放系统可以采取几种形式，例如一次用于选择性地致动传送带的一部分以从输送机的出口端移除物品的机构，或者可以将物品从输送机表面保持的机构，因此当输送机运行时这些物品不被运输，并且选择性地将物品设置到输送机表面上，使得当输送机运行时这些物品被运输。在后一种情况下，控制系统以有效的方式控制输送机和保持释放系统的操作，以便将一组物品从输送机表面保持下来，然后根据移除方案降低物品，使得物品以预定的最小间距一次离开输送机的出口端。物品可以由下面的一系列或多个支撑物支撑，提升物品，或者臂可以将物品从上方悬挂以将物品从输送机表面保持。

摘要： A method for sorting mail to a case having a plurality of slots is described, wherein each slot corresponds to a destination. The method includes steps of loading a mail piece to be sorted into a delivery robot, determining for the mail piece a destination slot the mail piece is to be delivered to, moving the delivery robot along a rail disposed at the front of the case near the slots into proximity with an open end of the destination slot, inserting the mail piece from the delivery robot into the associated slot, and returning the delivery robot to a loading station whereby the cycle may be repeated. Such a method, when using a large number of robots moving along a common rail system, can sort a large volume of mail in carrier delivery order.
摘要翻译：描述了将邮件分类到具有多个时隙的情况的方法，其中每个时隙对应于目的地。该方法包括以下步骤：将要分类的邮件装载到传送机器人中，确定邮件将要传送邮件的目的地时隙，将传送机器人沿着布置在壳体前方的轨道移动插槽与目的地插槽的开放端接近，将邮件从传送机器人插入到相关的插槽中，并将传送机器人返回到加载站，从而可以重复该循环。这种方法当使用大量沿着共轨系统移动的机器人时，可以以载体传送顺序对大量的邮件进行排序。

摘要： A mail case system facilitates sequence-sorting various types of mail together into individual bags that each represent delivery points. The mail case uses multi-bag inserts so that bags for a number of stops can be set up for sorting. At the end of the sorting operation, the entire insert may be pulled down from the case as a single unit to maintain the established delivery point sequence.

摘要： A mail case system includes facilitates sequence-sorting various types of mail together into individual bags that each represent unique delivery points. The mail case uses multi-bag inserts so that the bags for several stops can be set up quickly for sorting. At the end of the sorting operation, the entire insert may be pulled down from the case as a single unit to maintain the established delivery point sequence. This eliminates the carrier's need to find separation points or to combine selections from multiple sequenced stacks of mail during the delivery operation. This results in a dramatic improvement in delivery efficiency.

摘要： Methods and tools for opening polyfilm-wrapped packages. A tool includes a rubbing surface and a motor configured to move the rubbing surface. The tool includes a power source connected to supply power to the rubbing surface. The rubbing surface is applied to the polyfilm wrapping while being moved to create an opening in the polyfilm wrapping caused at least in part by friction heat. The opening is created without damaging contents of the package.
