Pulse interrogation article-sorting system

摘要: A pulse interrogation article-sorting system for identifying and directing articles along a distribution network, such as passenger baggage conveyor therefor at an airline terminal. particular form of the includes having both collection section which is accumulated providing plurality branches or stations respectively corresponding to flight destinations into are selectively diverted in accordance with thereof. diverters disposed respective association operative effect diversion thereinto individual being advanced conveyor. Each article carries tag equipped normally passive identification responder transmit electromagnetic signal representative destination indicated by response receipt sharply pulsed signals emitted transmitter interception each responder-equipped carried thereby. receiver sensor circuitry responsive provides logic processing identify same terms their destination-distinguishing characteristics control means connected actuate diverter identified circuitry. Accordingly, whenever establishes identity transmitted intercepted signals, that actuated segregate divert appropriate branch carrying transmitting responder.
