Abstract: In a method and apparatus for storing media items at a storage zone, the apparatus has a storage zone for storing media items, a port region proximate to the storage zone for receiving at least one media item, and at least one urging member configured to urge the media item into a desired location for forming an aligned stack of media items in the storage zone. The at least one urging member has a deployed configuration to exert a continuous urging action on a media item as it is transported to the desired location.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for storing media items at a storage zone, the apparatus has a storage zone for storing media items, a port region proximate to the storage zone for receiving at least one media item, and a first set of mover elements to urge each media item thereby at least partially moving the media item along a transport pathway portion from the port region to the storage zone to a desired location in the storage zone. The set of mover elements has at least one laterally inner mover element and at least one laterally outer mover element.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for storing media items at a storage zone, the apparatus has a storage zone for storing media items; a port region proximate to the storage zone for receiving at least one media item; and at least one guide member laterally offset from a desired location in the storage zone for urging media items towards a central transport plane associated with a transport centre line of the desired location. In particular, the guide member has a curved surface.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for storing media items at a storage zone, the apparatus has a storage zone for storing media items, a port region proximate to the storage zone for receiving at least one media item, and at least one guide member disposed to a respective lateral side of a desired location in the storage zone.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for storing media items at a storage zone, the apparatus comprises a storage zone for storing media items, a port region proximate to the storage zone for receiving at least one media item, and at least one lateral urging member spaced apart along a lateral axis from a central transport plane associated with a transport centre line of a desired location. Each lateral urging member is configured to urge a media item into the desired location for forming an aligned stack of media items in the storage zone.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a wireless communications system. The method comprises establishing a first communications session with the communications system, and thereafter discontinuing the first communications session with the communications system. Information related to preselected parameters associated with the first communications session is collected in response to the first communications session being discontinued. Once a second communications session is established with the communications system, at least a portion of the stored information is delivered to the communications system via the second communications session.
