US Patent:

7243002, Jul 10, 2007

Filed:

Nov 17, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/991303

Inventors:

Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US
Gregory Richard Chaney - Centennial CO, US
Bennett Charles Hinnen - Arvada CO, US

Assignee:

Translogic Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

700215, 700230, 406 4

Abstract:

A system and method provides for the identification and monitoring of carriers within a pneumatic carrier system. Each carrier which is to be employed within the system includes an identification device such as a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip which has stored thereon identification information for the carrier. Positioned throughout the system are communications devices such as antennas and readers which are employed to read and/or write identification information on the chip. When a carrier is put in the system, a destination location can be associated with the particular carrier ID. This associated information is then employed to, among many things, monitor and confirm identity of the carrier as it moves to its destination.

Filed:

May 20, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/648479

Inventors:

Jeffrey Scott Hawthorne - Bennett CO
David Michael Dillon - Aurora CO
Gregory R. Chaney - Parker CO
Benjamin L. Lopez - Arvada CO

Assignee:

TransLogic Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

B65G 5140
G06F 1900

US Classification:

36447817

Abstract:

A pneumatic carrier system is provided for distribution and transport of materials between different locations. The system includes a plurality of carriers for conveyance of materials and a control system for controlling the movement of the carriers in the system. The control system uses information associated with the carriers and the status of areas of the system to detect gridlock conditions which inhibit the movement of carriers. The system also includes bypass locations which are used to resolve detected gridlock conditions.
