Control Of Pneumatic Carrier System Based On Carrier Or Payload Identification
US Patent:
2014008, Mar 20, 2014
Filed:
Sep 12, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/024907
Inventors:
KENNETH MICHAEL HOGANSON - Aurora CO, US
Assignee:
TRANSLOGIC CORPORATION - Denver CO
International Classification:
B65G 51/36
US Classification:
700230
Abstract:
A system and method provides for controlling a pneumatic carrier system based on identification information read from a carrier or a payload of the carrier. Each carrier or payload which is to be employed within the system includes an identification device such as a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip which has stored thereon information for the carrier or payload. Positioned throughout the system are communications devices such as antennas and readers which are employed to read and/or write identification information on the identification device. Based on reading the identification device at locations within the system, the operation of the system is altered.

International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
700225, 700213
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.

Variable Speed Drive For Pneumatic Transport System
US Patent:
7950879, May 31, 2011

Appl. No.:
12/138686
Inventors:

Daniel R. Gross - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Assignee:
Translogic Corporation - Denver CO
International Classification:
B65G 53/66
US Classification:
406 12, 406 10
Abstract:
Provided herein are systems and methods for use in controlling a translocation process of a pneumatic tube system in order to reduce the amount of energy transferred from the tube system to a pneumatic carrier and, hence, its contents. Generally, these utilities entail identifying and/or reducing forces applied to a pneumatic carrier traveling through a travel path within a pneumatic tube system. The systems and method disposed herein allow for varying the velocity of a pneumatic carrier as it passes through a travel path of the pneumatic system. Such varying of the velocity allows for reducing the total forces applied to the pneumatic carrier during passage through the system. In one arrangement, the power output of a power source connected to a compressor device is altered to vary the velocity of pneumatic carries in the system.
Pneumatic Transport Delivery Control
US Patent:
2010009, Apr 15, 2010
Filed:

Appl. No.:

International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
700228
Abstract:
The presented inventions seek to create a verifiable and closed loop chain-of-custody for a specific transaction in a pneumatic tube transport system while allowing a sender and recipient to perform asynchronous activity. That is, one aspect the presented inventions allows a sender to securely send a carrier to a desired recipient while allowing the desired recipient to receive the secured carrier at a convenient time and/or location without tying up system resources. Another aspect improves the physical barriers between high value payloads and the unintended recipients. This is done in part by introducing randomness into the carrier delivery process such that no member of the general public or facility staff knows the location and/or delivery time of a secured carrier without having access to specific database records indicating the current location and/or delivery status of the secured carrier.

Sealed Pneumatic Carrier With Slam-Latch
US Patent:
2011027, Nov 10, 2011
Filed:
May 5, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/774366
Inventors:
Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US

Raymond Anthony Castro - Denver CO, US
International Classification:
B65G 51/06
US Classification:
406190
Abstract:
Provided herein is a pneumatic carrier having a leak resistant cargo area where first and second mating shells form the carrier. To provide a leak resistant cargo area, the one embodiment of the carrier employs a tongue and groove sealing arrangement. In this arrangement, an engagement surface about a peripheral edge of one of the shells includes a tapered groove and the engagement surface around the engagement surface of the other shell includes a protruding tongue member. A sealing element is disposed over the tongue or lines the groove. When the first and second shell members are joined together, the sealing member provides a substantially fluid-tight seal between the first and second shell members.
