Abstract:
A typing off-loading and article sorting system to automatically separate different parcel types includes an feed conveyor, receiving conveyor, sorting conveyor, cameras and photoelectric eye. The overhead cameras detect the item size and whether it is cubic in nature and type and size of its footprint. An in-line slide sorter having alternating conveyor rollers and pop-up belts pass through to, or divert articles from, a downstream conveyor. The vison based system may also be used to detect space between articles and insert articles in the unoccupied space.

Claim (Index 39):
The typing and article sorting system of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n said computer receiving input from at least one single beam photoelectric eye positioned over said collector conveyor and controlling the optimal speed of said collector conveyor based upon said full length of said first article and said second article resting on said surface of said collector conveyor for slowing said collector conveyor and activating said pop-up conveyor raising said at least one belt of said pop-up conveyor to engage said portion of said second article to be diverted from said pop-up conveyor, and said computer controls a duration said at least one belt remains activated based on said full length of said second article to be diverted; and said computer controlling the speed of said collector conveyor and slowing said speed of said collector conveyor prior to said second article engaging said pop-up conveyor as a function of the length of the item or the length of a first portion of said second article falling within a selected proximity to said pop-up conveyor for imparting a transverse force diverting said second article away from said longitudinal axis.
