Patent number: 9192965Abstract: The vision sort system provides a semi-automated sort system that requires no other action from the user other than picking up a box and placing on a skid. The vision sort system is most effective in a manual sort system. The vision sort system integrates various operational technologies in order to provide staff with information to ensure the packages are sorted to the correct destination. Validation feedback is provided to ensure no missorts occur. Information is collected on the package and final destination for tracking purposes. Benefits of the vision sort system include sort accuracy, package visibility, and reduced requirement for sort knowledge by operator and revenue recovery (cube and reweigh) on all packages. This application is perfect for pick and pack systems that are in-motion and any transportation sortation facility. This is applicable for any product including mail or non packaged items.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Logical Turn Services Inc.Inventors: Kirk Serjeantson, David Patrick Short, Adam Stevenson, Jim McLellan

Publication number: 20150290080Abstract: An article is described including an article surface and a coating set comprising an optional tie coating or layer, a barrier coating or layer, and a pH protective layer. The respective coatings or layers can be applied by chemical vapor deposition of a polysiloxane or polysilazane precursor in the presence of oxygen. Examples of such an article are a prefilled thermoplastic syringe or thermoplastic pharmaceutical vial with a coated interior portion containing a pharmaceutical preparation or other fluid with a pH of 4 to 8, alternatively 5 to 9. The barrier coating or layer prevents oxygen from penetrating into the thermoplastic syringe or vial. The tie coating or layer, if present, and the pH protective coating or layer protect the barrier layer from the contents of the syringe or vial.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2015Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Christopher Weikart, Becky L.

Publication number: 20150005932Abstract: An adjustable speed control system includes a reader, databases, processors and a conveyor controller. The databases store data concerning conveyor stops and failed attempts by the reader to identify conveyed items. Based on the failed attempts and the conveyor stops, the processors calculate an optimal speed of the conveyor. The controller adjusts the conveyor speed towards the optimal speed to increase the conveyed items successfully identified by the reader. Also disclosed are a corresponding method and computer readable medium on which is stored instructions to, upon execution, adjustably control the conveyor speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Kirk Edward SERJEANTSON, Andrew Silerio VICENCIO, Cameron James LAIRD, Adam STEVENSON

Publication number: 20140223112Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data elements on a mobile device that involve identifying a central application with an available set of data elements, for each of a plurality of secondary applications, determining a shared set of data elements where each data element of the shared set of data elements is mapped to a data element of the available set of data elements. The systems and methods may further involve receiving the available set of data elements from the external data storage device for storage in a virtual memory of the mobile device upon detecting that a central application has initialized on the mobile device and populating a secondary application with the shared set of data elements from the virtual memory upon detecting that the secondary application has initialized on the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: CAA SOUTH CENTRAL ONTARIOInventors: Kirk Serjeanston, Sean Macdonald, Kevin Ng, Emilio Rojas-Silva, Jonathan Maynard, Adam Stevenson

Publication number: 20130041241Abstract: A method is disclosed in which a vapor-deposited coating or layer is directly or indirectly applied to at least a portion of the internal wall of the barrel of a capped pre-assembly comprising a barrel, optionally a dispensing portion, and a cap. The cap is secured to the barrel and at least substantially isolates the distal opening of the dispensing portion from pressure conditions outside the cap. A vapor-deposited coating or layer is applied directly or indirectly to at least a portion of the internal wall of the barrel while the pre-assembly is capped. The coating or layer is applied under conditions effective to maintain communication from the barrel lumen to the exterior via the front opening, optionally further via the dispensing portion lumen if present, at the end of the applying step. The capped pre-assembly can be pressure tested easily and rapidly, for example with a test duration between 1 and 60 seconds, to determine whether it has container closure integrity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventors: John T.
