US Patent:

7950879, May 31, 2011

Filed:

Jun 13, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/138686

Inventors:

Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US
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.

Appl. No.:

14/873834

Inventors:

DANIEL ROBERT GROSS - Highlands Ranch CO, US
DAVID WARREN PARISH - Denver CO, US
DANIEL JOHN SERAFIN - THORNTON CO, US

Assignee:

TRANSLOGIC CORPORATION - Denver CO

International Classification:

B65G 51/34
B65G 51/26
B65G 51/46
B65G 51/18

Abstract:

Provided herein is a pneumatic tube system station having a rotating carriage with multiple carrier ports. The multiple carrier ports allow for receiving multiple carriers and/or staging multiple carries for dispatch. In one arrangement, one or more carriers may be securely maintained within the station while permitting users to continue utilizing the station.

Appl. No.:

14/193964

Inventors:

- Denver CO, US
Daniel Robert Gross - Highlands Ranch CO, US

Assignee:

TRANSLOGIC CORPORATION - Denver CO

International Classification:

A61L 9/20
A61L 2/10

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems, apparatuses and methods for use in disinfecting pneumatic tube system (PTS) components and/or disinfecting air displaced during the operation of a PTS. More specifically, various aspects are directed to the use of light source disinfection systems for disabling bacteria, viruses and/or other micro-organisms (hereafter “pathogens”) in a PTS. The light source disinfection systems allow of cleaning pneumatic carriers, cleaning the interior of pneumatic tubes and PTS components and/or cleaning air, which is used to propel pneumatic carriers in a PTS.
