  • Patent number: 11453558
    Abstract: A singulation conveyor is described. The singulation conveyor includes multiple rollers, for example, a first roller and a second roller. In some example embodiments, the first roller can be of a first roller cross-sectional profile and the second roller can be of a second roller cross-sectional profile. The first roller cross-sectional profile can be defined by a sleeve mounted around a circumference of the first roller and a dowel positioned between the sleeve and the first roller. Further, in some examples, the first roller cross-sectional profile can be different from the second roller cross-sectional profile. Furthermore, according to some examples, the first roller and the second roller can be configured to be rotated based on a first rotation pattern and a second rotation pattern respectively, to cause singulation of a shingled item.

  • Patent number: 10934101
    Abstract: A material handling system for singulation of items is described. The material handling system can include, a singulation conveyor with a mechanical actuator. The mechanical actuator can be configured to manipulate an item on the singulation conveyor. Further, the material handling system can comprise a sensing unit comprising an imaging device that can be configured to capture an image of a zone of a singulation conveyor. Further, the material handling system can have a control unit that can be configured to classify, based on a classification model and the image, the item into a category. The category can be indicative of an orientation of the item with respect to another item and a conveying surface of the singulation conveyor. Further, the control unit can be configured to, generate instructions to cause actuation of a mechanical actuator to perform a singulation action based on the classification associated with the item.

  • Publication number: 20130014209
    Abstract: Content rights holders provide digital content to a hosting site to be used as reference content. The content owner specifies a policy for each digital content item, indicating how that content may be used on the site when uploaded by someone other than the content owner. An identification module compares the uploaded content against reference content. If the content matches reference content, the specified policy for that reference content is applied to the uploaded content. Policy options provided by the content owner include tracking the content to see how it is viewed, preventing the content from being distributed on the site, and allowing the content to be displayed in a revenue-sharing environment. In one embodiment, if the identification module matches the uploaded content to a reference item but the match does not have a sufficiently high level of confidence, the suggested match is queued for review by the content owner.
