Patent number: 11504746Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for designating a location for a delivery item that is being sorted by an operator. The operator scans the delivery address of the item using a scanner having a particular attribute, such as being painted red. Using delivery address along with an identifier for the scanner that was used, the system determines a sort output location for the item, identifies a designator (e.g. a specific color, such as red) that corresponds to the scanner, and identifies an indicator device (e.g., a multicolor LED device) that corresponds to the sort output location. The system then commands the indicator device to present or display the designator. For example, the indicator device may be commanded to illuminate a LED to give off red light. The operator of the red scanner then places the item at the location corresponding to the red light designator.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICEInventors: Michael A.

Patent number: 11492298Abstract: Methods for forming a coated component, along with the resulting coated components, are provided. The method may include forming a silicon-based bond coating on a surface of a substrate and forming a barrier coating on the silicon-based bond coating. The silicon-based bond coating comprises columnar grains of crystalline silicon. Chemical vapor depositing (CVD) may be used to form the silicon-based bond coating through CVD of a silicon-containing precursor at a deposition temperature and deposition pressure that causes crystallization of the silicon material during the deposition of the silicon-based bond coating.
