International Classification:

G08B 2300

US Classification:

3405734, 3405731, 3406935, 34082549

Abstract:

A device for monitoring movement of an object is provided. A first module is configured to secure to the object. A second module, capable of electrically connecting to the first module, includes at least a rechargeable battery and a memory capable of storing a history of movement data. A third module, capable of electrically connecting with the second module, includes a data modem capable of connecting to a remote station, and a battery charger. When the second module is connected to the first module, the memory periodically records available location data representing a position of the device at the time of recording. When the second module is connected to the third module, the memory downloads through the data modem and the battery charger charges the battery.

US Classification:

700223, 209504, 209584, 209552, 209900, 700222

Abstract:

Aspects of the invention relate to systems and methods for improving a sort plan. According to one embodiment, several groups are formed where each group contains articles having an identifier of a hierarchical structure. In certain embodiments, the identifier may include a geographical indication, such as a postal or ZIP code. Further aspects relate to systems and methods for conducting sort plan optimization where at least some prior data is known or otherwise obtainable. In one embodiment, data relating to the quantity of groups within the sort plan, the quantity of articles associated with each identifier, and/or the quantity of articles within each group may be estimated or known. In certain embodiments, such data may be utilized to assign articles to specific bins, including any available bin, and then optimize the sort plan by selecting at least one bin for improvement.

US Classification:

705410, 705 711, 707758

Abstract:

An enhanced postal data modeling framework, in which postal data which describes characteristics of a mail sortation process is accessed, and the postal data is mapped to production management data which describes characteristics of a model production management process in an initial state and which is capable of being processed by a production management application. The production management data is input for processing by the production management application to produce forecasted production management data which predicts characteristics of the model production management process in a subsequent state, the forecasted production management data is modeled to forecasted postal data which predicts characteristics of the mail sortation process, and at least a portion of the forecasted postal data is provided to a user.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 1

Abstract:

The present invention interconnects national postal systems to provide for international shipping capabilities through a global post. More particularly, the present invention provides end-to-end visibility and monitoring of shipped parcels and documents through coordinated and/or standardized tracking. Also, the invention provides for allocation between national posts of monies received for a shipment serviced by both initiating and destination posts. Certain embodiments of the invention provide digital archiving of shipped documents. Particular embodiments of the invention allow national posts to act as third-party payors through the global post for purchases from foreign manufacturers.
