Patent number: 9230233Abstract: The systems described herein may provide mechanisms for recommending specialty packaging in a materials handling facility dependent on physical characteristics of items to be shipped and/or feedback received in response to previous shipments of the items. For example, if feedback indicates frequent low customer ratings for damage during shipping and/or for the suitability of the container in which a particular item was shipped, of if feedback indicates that concession costs were repeatedly incurred due to damage of the item during shipping, the item may be designated as needing special damage protection. This protection may be realized by shipping the item in sturdier containers, in containers of a more suitable size, and/or with improved or increased protective cushioning. For example, a stored indication that an item is designated for special damage protection may influence the selection of a container recommended for shipping the item, e.g., by excluding unsuitable containers from consideration.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Subramanian Sundaresan, Abhay Murarka, Sebastian Lehmann, Rohit K.

Publication number: 20150318766Abstract: A motor includes motor terminals for connecting with an external power supply and an internal circuit connected to the motor terminals. The motor further includes a RF filter. The RF filter includes a conductive wire coiled in either a helical manner or a spiral manner. Terminals of the conductive wire at opposite axial ends of the coil are connected to a corresponding one of the motor terminals and the internal circuit, respectively. The intensity of the electromagnetic waves radiated from most parts of the conductive wire of the RF filter is attenuated by reflected electromagnetic waves from other parts of the conductive wire. Therefore, the intensity of the electromagnetic wave radiated from the motor is greatly reduced. A RF filter for the motor is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventors: Qing Bin LUO, Chi Wai LAI, Xiao Lin REN, Gui Hong TIAN, Xin Peng WEI

Patent number: 8560461Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for automatically splitting a group of items into two or more shipment sets are disclosed. A shipment splitting analyzer may be configured to determine if and how the items should be split into shipment sets dependent on the number of unique or total items, item parameters, container parameters, facility configurations, transportation constraints, and/or business policies. Items may be dequeued from the group into proposed shipment sets directed to a target container. The shipment splitting analyzer may determine which items may be shipped together dependent on a cumulative volume and/or weight of the items, a size and/or weight capacity of the target container, and/or affinity information associated with the items. Over-sized items, over-weight items, and/or large quantities of single items may be removed for exception processing prior to splitting the items into shipment sets. Shipment splitting data may be analyzed for current performance and/or operational trends.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hong Tian, Ritesh R.

Patent number: 8401975Abstract: A computer-implemented method for analyzing package performance in a materials handling facility may include calculating an expected shipping cost for an item package and an actual shipping cost for the item package to determine excess shipping costs due to shipping item packages in the wrong container. The expected shipping cost may be the sum of the transportation cost and shipping materials cost when the item package is shipped in a recommended container. The actual shipping cost may be the sum of the transportation cost and shipping materials cost when the item is shipped in another container. The shipping materials costs may include the costs of the containers themselves and any non-item contents in the containers. A package performance analyzer may be configured to calculate excess shipping costs, generate various package performance reports according to received report parameters, and recommend corrective actions, including changing the available container types or providing training.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2007Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hong Tian, Devesh Mishra, Mackenzie Smith, James E.

Patent number: 8086344Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods for predictive routing of item packages within a materials handling facility are disclosed. A predictive router may operate in conjunction with a container recommender, and both may be components of a facility management system. The predictive router may determine a routing destination for an item package dependent, at least in part, on the size and/or dimensions of a container that was recommended for handling the item package. The routing destination may be a shipping line customized for preparation of packed boxes of a particular size or in a particular size range for shipment. An optional scanner may attempt to determine the size of the actual container being used to ship the item package, and the predictive router may update the routing destination if the actual container does not match the recommended container. The predictive router may also consider special handling instructions when determining a routing destination.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Devesh Mishra, Eric Young, Irina M.

Patent number: 8045295Abstract: Method and apparatus are presented for electrically coupling a slider to ground. In one embodiment, a bonding pad is provided on a side of the slider body separate from the bonding pad(s) used for read/write signals. This separate bonding pad is electrically coupled within the slider body to components that are to be coupled to ground. A separate conductor provided on the suspension (e.g., a trace, a flex circuit, etc.) may be electrically coupled to the separate bonding pad via gold ball bonding. The conductor is also coupled to ground in the hard-disk drive device (e.g., via the preamplifier). The use of the separated bonding pad and trace may negate the need to use a conductive adhesive to electrically ground the slider via its attachment to the tongue of a slider.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: SAE Magnetics (HK) Ltd.Inventors: Yen Fu, Ellis T.

Patent number: 7979359Abstract: Various embodiments may include a shipping consolidation analyzer configured to determine whether a sortation process is to be applied to at least a subset of an item group at a facility. Such item group may include multiple items to be shipped to a common destination. Each item of the item group may be associated with a default non-sortable status. Such sortation process may include a process for indicating at least two items of the subset as consolidated for shipment. The shipping consolidation analyzer may, in response to determining that the sortation process is to be applied to the subset, generate an instruction such that the sortation process is applied at the materials handling facility to the subset of the item group.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Young, Arthur Valdez, Hong Tian

Patent number: 7873549Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically correcting item dimension values may facilitate operations of a materials handling facility. Such a method may include recommending a container for handling one or more items dependent on currently stored item dimension values and determining if any of the item values are inaccurate dependent on an actual container used to handle the one or more items. In some embodiments, the method may include calculating a volumetric utilization of an actual and a recommended container and comparing the two utilizations to determine if the recommended container was too large or too small. If the recommended container was too large or too small, the method may include flagging one or more of the items for measurement and/or correcting item dimensions for one or more of the items. Items may be flagged for measurement in response to a single mismatch between recommended and actual containers or multiple mismatches.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Devesh Mishra, Mackenzie Smith, Hong Tian, Felix F.
