Groceries ordered over the Internet by a particular time in the early evening may be delivered by the next morning to a location within a 5-6 hour delivery radius of a warehouse. The grocery order is filled at the warehouse, where the groceries are placed in a tote for delivery. If perishable groceries are to be delivered, a frozen insert is placed in the tote to maintain the groceries at a desired temperature. The filled tote is placed on a rack, which is removable with the tote on it. The racks have shelves that are pitched such that when a first tote is removed a second tote behind the first tote falls into the space previously occupied by the first tote. In the early evening, after the cutoff time for placing orders, the rack and totes on the rack are transferred to a first vehicle, typically a large trailer, that transports the rack and totes to a transfer point where the rack and the accompanying bill of lading are transferred to a second smaller vehicle, such as a van. The van delivers the totes to customers along a pre-established route. Upon reaching a delivery destination (usually a customer's home) by early the next morning, the van driver removes the tote for that customer from the van and secures it in a locked expandable bag, such as a mesh net or insulated bag, that may be locked in two places and that is itself secured to a grocery box. The grocery box, which is supplied to the customer by the business selling the groceries, is secured outside the delivery destination. The customer removes the tote from the bag, removes the groceries from the tote, and returns the used tote to the bas for later pickup by the van.

The present invention discloses a means to improve the production capacity and feedstock handling flexibility of a simulated moving bed adsorptive separation process by introducing a second feed stream to the adsorbent chamber, such second feed stream comprising a feed material of a different concentration of the desired compound than the concentration of such desired compound in the first feed material stream. The introduction of this second feed material stream may be performed at any location on the adsorbent chamber between (i) a transfer point located immediately upstream of the point of the raffinate material stream withdrawal from the adsorbent chamber to (ii) a transfer point located immediately downstream of the point of extract material stream withdrawal from the adsorbent chamber. The specific transfer point used for the introduction of the second feed material stream will depend upon the concentration of the desired component in the second feed material stream.

The invention provides a method and a system for selectively delivering information to callers in an AIN environment. In accordance with the method the service switching point to which is connected the terminal equipment of the caller monitors the condition of the telephone line to detect an AIN trigger, such as an off-hook event among other possibilities. When such event occurs, the service switch point formulates a message query. The query is routed to a service control point via one or more service transfer points, that holds knowledge of the service subscribed by the caller and the information to be displayed for this service. The service control point analyzes the request and assembles the appropriate response. That response is then returned to the service switch point that formats it properly and delivers it to the terminal equipment of the caller. In one embodiment the information delivery is effected during call establishment. In a variant, information is delivered while no call is being attempted.

An intelligent network in which the service switching points (SSPs) consult a lookup table for services which require the use of a service control point (SCP), and send respective request messages containing a service type field. If such a service is one which can be handled by an SCP whose LAN (for the intercommunication of its various data processors) has become partitioned because of, say, a LAN fault, the SSP writes a first value for service type into the field, and if the service is one which must not be handled by a partitioned SCP, the SSP writes a second value. The request messages are sent via service transfer points (STPs). The network includes a transmission controller which has first and second states. Any SCP which detects that its LAN has become partitioned commands the transmission controller to enter the second state. In the first state the transmission controller is transparent to all messages regardless of the contents of the service type field, but in the second state it does not pass requests of the second service type. In one embodiment, each STP is integrally constructed with a respective transmission controller. In another embodiment, each SCP includes one or more respective transmission controller disposed at the junction of its signalling servers and the signalling link from the STP.
