ABSTRACT

Chamber bank for use in a sorting operation includes chambers for receiving a
receptacle therein. Each chamber is defined by a floor, a left wall, a right
wall, and a rear wall that together define a receiving space for a receptacle.
At least one of the left and right wall is taller than the corresponding
abutting side wall of the receptacle received therein. A system assigns a
first number of articles occupying a first volume to the receptacle such that
the first number of articles overfills the receptacle when all of the first
number of articles are deposited thereinto.
