  • Publication number: 20230376882
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering items are disclosed. The systems and methods comprise assigning a unique internal control value to each profile having an identified physical address delivery point. They also receive a request for delivery point information for each of a plurality of items to be distributed and providing a response comprising a list of internal control values thereto. They further receive a plurality of items, each item having printed thereon one of the internal control values on the list. For each of the plurality of items, they scan, by item processing equipment, the item to read the internal control value printed thereon, identifying, in the profile database, the physical address delivery point corresponding to the assigned internal control value, routing, by the item processing equipment, the item according to the identified physical address delivery point, and delivering the item to the identified physical address delivery point.

  • Publication number: 20110157893
    Abstract: An OLED luminaire has at least one panel structure having a generally planar observable surface and at least one OLED panel having a light emitting surface forming at least a portion of the panel structure and having a sufficiently high lumen output for illuminating a space. The generally planer observable surface of the panel structure, including the light emitting surface of said OLED panel, create visual interest by exhibiting differential visual effects, such as different low luminance patterns or different color patterns, or both, when the OLED panel or panels are driven to a state of illumination. Differential visual effect on the luminaire's panel structure can also be created by the juxtaposition of illuminated OLED panels and non-illuminated fill panels.
