Abstract: Disclosed is an RFID-based automated sorting vehicle for real-time order verification, belonging to the technical field of order picking. The automated sorting vehicle is equipped with a picking processor, an RFID reader, a printer, a headphone and a plurality of cargo box placement locations, and an indicator is provided at each cargo box placement location. The picking processor can pre-store the storage location information of all items in the warehouse center. After importing the order fulfillment information into the picking processor, the picking processor generates picking instructions based on the order. During the order fulfillment process, the picking processor ensures the accuracy of item selection and placement by the picking personnel through the picking instructions and indicators. The picking processor also verifies the correctness of item selection by cross-referencing the item information read by the RFID reader with the content of the issued instructions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-dimensional order merging method, which belongs to the field of warehousing technology. By considering multiple dimensions such as the required arrival time of the order, order destination, picking location overlap degree within the order, order size, weather conditions, road condition information, transportation vehicle conditions, picking costs, and logistics costs, and by considering the combination and arrangement sequence, a multi-dimensional order merging method is determined, which can be applied in various scenarios in the warehousing field. According to this method, merged order processing tasks can distribute multiple orders at the same time to meet the premise of the personalized delivery needs of customers, reduce costs as much as possible, and improve delivery efficiency.

Abstract: A high-speed and high-precision Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) detection tunnel machine includes: an RFID reader-writer and an RFID antenna; a first conveying line, which conveys a carrier, and the carrier includes at least one RFID tag; a tunnel machine body, which is configured for the first conveying line to pass through, and covers the reading range; and a second conveying line, which conveys the carrier and ensures that the first conveying line only has one carrier. In the application, the second conveying line is disposed, and its relevant parameters may be adjusted according to parameters of the first conveying line and position of the carrier on the first conveying line, so as to realize continuous operation of the tunnel machine and ensure timely supplement of the carrier on the first conveying line.

Abstract: A method for reading ultrahigh frequency RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags is provided, wherein: an ultrahigh frequency RFID scanning system includes an ultrahigh frequency RFID reader and an antenna group; antennas are distributed around a scanned object; the RFID tags are in the scanned object; the ultrahigh frequency RFID scanning system continuously scans the scanned object, till no new data is added to a scan set A, and then counting is started; if no new data is added to the scan set A for N consecutive scan cycles, it is considered that the ultrahigh frequency RFID scanning system has read all the RFID tags in the scanned object. The present invention overcomes the problem that neither the setting of “reading time” nor the setting of “number of times of reading” can determine whether the ultrahigh frequency RFID scanning system has actually read all the RFID tags.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a cylinder of smoking material having at least one hollow tube having a heat conductive wall within the cylinder of smoking material and a filter system attached to the cylinder of smoking material. The filter system includes an adsorbent material therein. The at least one hollow tube extends from within the cylinder of smoking material through the adsorbent material. At least one flavorant material is retained within the at least one hollow tube, and upon exposure to heat from the heat conductive wall of the hollow tube the flavorant material releases a flavorant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming an article with template shaped channels by (a) mixing a precursor with a fibrous template, (b) forming the mixture into a pre-determined shape, (c) curing the mixture to form a precursor composite, (d) carbonizing the precursor composite, and (e) decomposing the fibrous template to yield a shaped carbon article with template shaped channels.

Abstract: A process of impregnating fine adsorbent particles such as carbon dust or APS silica gel powder into the micro-cavities of shaped fibers comprises the steps of continuously conveying shaped fibers with micro-cavities to a reservoir of the fine adsorbent particles. The fibers pass through the reservoir to thereby produce relative motion between the fibers and the particles. Additionally, impact forces are created between the shaped fibers and the fine particles to assist in impregnating the particles into the micro-cavities of the fibers. Any excess particles are removed from the fibers outside the reservoir, and subsequently the shaped fibers impregnated with fine adsorbent particles are collected for later use in filter applications such as cigarette filter and air filter applications, for example.

Abstract: A cigarette filter for removing gas phase constituents from mainstream cigarette smoke as the smoke is drawn through the filter primarily comprises an activated carbon fiber filter section including a bundle of activated carbon fibers. Particulate adsorbent materials such as granules, beads or course powders may be dispersed amongst the activated carbon fibers to aid in removal of the gas phase constituents. Additionally, the activated carbon fiber filter section may be used in combination with a separate bed or beds of particulate adsorbent material. In one embodiment, the activated carbon fibers are positioned within a helical groove on the outside of a threaded rod within the activated carbon fiber filter section. Relatively smaller amounts of activated carbon fibers produce the same smoke constituent reduction as larger amounts of particulate adsorbent material.
