Publication number: 20240051768Abstract: A product order fulfillment system including a multi-level transport system and a lifting transport system. Each level of the multi-level transport system having a corresponding independent asynchronous level transport system separate and distinct from the asynchronous level transport system corresponding to each other level of the multi-level transport system. Each independent lift axis of the lifting transport system being configured to independently hold at least one case and being communicably coupled to each asynchronous level transport system so as to provide for exchange of the at least one case between each asynchronous level transport system and each independent lift axis. Each independent lift axis is communicably coupled to each other independent lift axis of the more than one lift axis and forms a common output of mixed cases so as to create an ordered sequence of mixed cases in accordance to a predetermined case out ordered sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Richard B. COHEN, Brian SVOBODA, Kirill K. PANKRATOV, Jason CHRISOS, Rick YOUPING-HUANG, Juergen D. CONRAD, Elizabeth CLARK-POLNER

Publication number: 20220002081Abstract: A product order fulfillment system of mixed product units, the system includes a storage array, an automated transport system, with at least one asynchronous transport system, for level transport, and a lift for between level transport, communicably connected to the storage array so as to automatically retrieve and output, from an output of the storage array, product units distributed in cases in a common part of the storage array. The at least one asynchronous transport system, and the lift are configured so as to form more than one transport echelon, each echelon being communicably connected with the common part and the output, and each effecting orthogonal sortation, corresponding to the transport echelon, of the product units distributed in the common part, so that sorted mixed output product units of the corresponding transport echelon are in predetermined sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Matthew Medford, Elizabeth Clark-Polner, Jeffrey Adam Traina, Edward Macdonald, Colton Ebersold

Publication number: 20160224869Abstract: A system and method are provided for associating initial perceptions of viewed images with visual or audible features such as facial features or vocal features and then comparing selected images or content to those visual or vocal features to predict a likely initial perception of those selected images or content or to allow for the selection of a desired perception and then selection of one or more images or content from a collection of images or content that is most likely to be associated with the selected perception. A system is also provided for generating an image combining features of more than one image to increase the likelihood of a selected perception.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventor: Elizabeth Clark-Polner
