Abstract: Systems and a method for printing and applying labels on packages. The system includes a conveyor configured to transport a plurality of packages, one or more scanners configured to scan the plurality of packages, and one or more print and apply stations. The one or more print and apply stations includes a printer configured to print labels, and an applier configured to apply the labels on the plurality of packages. The system further includes a management controller configured to retrieve promotion data for the plurality of packages, transmit the promotion data and spooling instructions associated with the promotion data to a print controller, and control operation of the conveyor in synchronization with the spooling instructions, and the print controller. The print controller is configured to manage and spool the promotion data to the one or more print and apply stations.

Abstract: A method for placing targeted advertisements on parcel packages moving on a conveyor. The method includes electronically scanning, via a processing device, information regarding one or more packages to be delivered to one or more recipients. Promotion data regarding one or more promotions targeted to the one or more recipients is retrieved. An arrival time for the one or more packages to arrive at a print station is determined based on a rate at which the one or more packages are moving on the conveyor. The promotion data is spooled to the print station at a spool time based on the arrival time. The one or more promotion labels associated with the promotion data are applied on the one or more packages at the print station in synchronization with the package movement rate.

Abstract: An inlet flow multiplier for a drain is provided. The multiplier includes a planar baffle having a mounting collar oriented perpendicular to the plane of the baffle. The collar has a pair of clamping flanges to allow it to be mounted to drains of varying diameter. The length of the baffle is substantially longer than the diameter of the drain to which it is mounted. In one embodiment, the length is approximately five times as long. The baffle is mounted so that it intersects the circumference of the drain. Optimally, the baffle bisects the drain opening. A bi-functional roof drain utilizing the inlet multiplier is also provided. Such a drain includes a primary drain and a backup drain pipe extending through and isolated from the primary drain. The planar baffle is attached via the mounting collar to the backup drain pipe to position the planar baffle above the top opening.

Abstract: A bi-functional roof drain includes a housing forming a drain manifold and a drain outlet to connect to a drainage system. A vent pipe penetrates the housing and extends through the manifold. The top of the vent pipe is positioned a distance above the housing, which may be variable. With this drain, a method of retrofitting a roof drainage system to provide water drainage and system venting is also presented. This method includes removing an existing uni-functional roof drain from a deck penetration through the roof, and installing a bi-functional roof drain in the same deck penetration. The drain outlet is connected to the drainage system and the vent pipe is connected to the system that requires venting. The height of a top opening of the vent pipe of the bi-functional roof drain may be adjustable in relation to a surface of the roof.

Abstract: An overflow sensor adapted to detect water flow in a backup roof drainage system is provided. The overflow sensor comprises a housing, a water flow sensor, and a control module. The housing is configured to sealingly mate with the backup roof drainage system. The water flow sensor is coupled to the housing and positioned to detect a flow of water of at least two levels in the backup drainage system. The control module is in communication with the water flow sensor and includes an indicator activatable when the water flow sensor detects the flow of water in the backup roof drainage system. This indicator is latched on until reset.
