摘要： The invention is characterized in certain aspects by data processing architectures and methods of processing a mail piece having a destination address field through outgoing and incoming mail centers. An illustrative method includes receiving a mail piece at an outgoing mail center for transport to an incoming mail center and subsequent sorting and transport from the incoming mail center to an an addressee. The mail piece includes a destination address field that is divided into a first address portion and a second address portion. The first address portion is interpreted at the outgoing mail center and used to sort the mail piece for transport to the incoming mail center. The second address portion is eventually resolved and used by the incoming mail center to sort the mail piece for subsequent delivery to an addressee. Because resolution of the second address portion is not required until the physical mail piece arrives at the incoming mail center, secondary address resolution is delayed in accordance with a set of predetermined time parameters. The second address portion is eventually resolved to generate a set of sorting instructions that are made accessible to the incoming mail center in accordance with the specified time parameters. By assigning a deferral time unique to each mail piece of a selected plurality of mail pieces, secondary address resolution for those mail pieces can be prioritized according to need.
摘要翻译：本发明的特征在于通过数据处理架构和通过传出和传入邮件中心处理具有目的地地址字段的邮件的方法的特征。说明性的方法包括在外发邮件中心接收邮件以便传送到接收邮件中心，并且随后从接收邮件中心分类和传送到收件人。邮件包括被分成第一地址部分和第二地址部分的目的地地址字段。第一个地址部分在外发邮件中心被解释，并用于对邮件进行排序以便传输到接收邮件中心。第二个地址部分最终被解决并被接收到的邮件中心使用以对邮件进行排序以便随后传送给收件人。因为在物理邮件到达传入邮件中心之前不需要第二地址部分的分辨率，所以根据一组预定的时间参数来延迟次要地址解析。第二地址部分最终被解析为生成一组排序指令，这些排序指令根据指定的时间参数使得入局邮件中心可访问。通过为所选择的多个邮件的每个邮件分配唯一的延期时间，可以根据需要对这些邮件的次要地址解析进行优先排列。

摘要： A method for sorting parcels may include reading, during a first sortation pass, machine readable indicia applied to the parcel prior to mailing and at least a portion of delivery address information on a parcel. The method may also include selecting a reference indicium from the machine readable indicia and creating an entry, corresponding to the reference indicia, in a first database, the entry including a portion of the delivery address information for the parcel and a value corresponding to the reference indicium. The method may also include determining whether the delivery address information has a corresponding forwarding order, and, if a corresponding forwarding order exists, modifying the delivery address information in accordance with the forwarding order. The method may include forwarding the entry to a second database different from the first database, the second database corresponding to the delivery address information. The method may include reading the machine readable indicia during a second sortation pass, subsequent to the first, identifying the reference indicium and retrieving the entry corresponding to the reference indicium from the second database, and sorting the parcel according to the portion of the delivery address information in the entry retrieved from the database. The method may also include delivering the parcel to a location corresponding to the delivery address information retrieved from the database, even if the delivery address information differs from the destination address originally applied to the parcel.

摘要： A method for sorting mail that may include performing an automatic address recognition process on a digitized image of a mail piece and generating a plurality of conditional address recognition results and a plurality of confirmation values each associated with one of the plurality of conditional address recognition results. The method can include sending the digitized image, the plurality of conditional address recognition results and the plurality of confirmation values to a video coding system, and selecting a video coding task corresponding to one or more of the plurality of confirmation values. The method can include comparing a video coding result with each of the plurality of confirmation values and, if one of the plurality of confirmation values matches the video coding result, then selecting a confirmed address recognition result from the plurality of conditional address recognition results, the confirmed address recognition result being associated with the confirmation value matching the video coding result.

摘要： Method and systems for early detection of potentially hazardous material associated with the collection of mail or other objects. In an embodiment of the method of this invention, image characteristics for an image of an item being examined are obtained. A predetermined profile is then retrieved from a profile database. The image characteristics for the image of the item are compared to the image characteristics present in the predetermined profile. If the image characteristics present in the predetermined profile substantially match the image characteristics for the image of the item, the item is identified for special processing. If the image characteristics present in the predetermined profile do not substantially match the image characteristics for the image of the item, another predetermined profile is retrieved and compared to the image characteristics for the image of the item. A system that implements the method of this invention includes a transport sub-system and a computing sub-system.

摘要： Method and apparatus to avoid the code space and time overhead of the software-loop. Loops (repeatedly executed blocks of instructions) are often used in software and microcode. Loops may be employed for array manipulation, storage initialization, division and square-root interpretation, and microinterpretation of instructions with variable-length operands. Software creates loops by keeping an iteration count in a register or in memory. During each iteration of the code loop, software decrements the count, and then branches to the "top" of the loop is the count remains nonzero. This apparatus puts the decrement, compare, and branch-to-top into hardware, reducing the number of instructions in the loop and speeding loop execution. Hardware further speeds loop execution by eliminating the wait for the branch to the top-of-loop instruction. That is, it prefetches the top-of-loop instruction near the bottom of the loop. The loop may be initialized for a fixed iteration count, or can accept a variable count in the iteration count register. The apparatus consists of counters for the number of instructions in the loop, an iteration counter, a pointer to the top-of-loop location, and an instruction to initiate the loop.
摘要翻译：避免软件循环的代码空间和时间开销的方法和装置。循环（重复执行的指令块）通常用于软件和微代码。循环可用于阵列操纵，存储初始化，除法和平方根解释，以及具有可变长度操作数的指令的微解释。软件通过在寄存器或内存中保留迭代计数来创建循环。在代码循环的每次迭代期间，软件递减计数，然后分支到循环的“顶部”是计数保持非零。该设备将减量，比较和分支到顶部放入硬件中，减少循环中的指令数量并加快循环执行。硬件进一步加快循环执行，消除等待分支到循环指令。也就是说，它预取循环底部附近的循环指令。可以对固定迭代计数初始化循环，或者可以接受迭代计数寄存器中的变量计数。该装置由循环中的指令数量的计数器，迭代计数器，指向循环顶部位置的指针以及启动循环的指令组成。

摘要： A plurality of processors are connected to the interprocessor communications facility in the multiprocessing system of the invention. The interprocessor communications facility has arbitration circuitry, mailbox circuitry, and processor interrupt circuitry. The interprocessor communications facility of the invention is centralized and does not require the use of main storage. This enables processors to communicate with each other in a fast and efficient manner. The arbitration circuitry prevents simultaneous access of the interprocessor communications facility by more than one processor, and decodes the commands sent from the processors and routes them to the processor interrupt circuitry or to the mailbox circuitry, depending on the command. The mailbox circuitry of the invention receives messages from sending processors and provides them to the intended receiving processors in a safe and secure manner. The processor interrupt circuitry facilitates the interprocessor communications process by handling interprocessor interrupts.
