No assignee for this patent application has been made.News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“An article sorting system operates to sort articles to des tinations, each destination typically representedby a receptacle. When a recept acle becomes full or when an order being sorted to that destinationreceptacle h as been completed, that destination receptacle needs to be removed and replaced with anempty receptacle. A necessary limitation of this process is that there i s a certain time interval requiredfor the exchange of the destination receptacl e to occur, and during that time, that particular destinationundergoing the exc hange process is unusable. The time required to replace a full or complete recep tacleimpacts the throughput and efficiency of article sorting system, with the replacement time needed beingimpacted by whether the replacement is performed m anually or by an automated process involving a robotor other automated machine.
