Module 2 - Criteria that is unique to the facility type (MSBD or SSBD). Module 3 - Criteria for special facility types other than the two primary facility types. Module 4 - Criteria for those special components that at times may be a part of any of the facilities. For each facility type (MSBD & SSBD), Module 1 must be used in conjunction with the appropriate section of Module 2 in order to obtain ! the complete criteria. In addition, portions of Module 3 or 4 may be required, depending on the particular project. Note that the criteria related to the facility type formerly known as “Majors” has been extracted and compiled in a separate folder named “MPF” (Mail Processing Facilities) in the Building Design Standards. Numbering System Chapter Number (Architectural) Section Number (Platforms) Subsection Number (Dock Equipment) Sub-subsection Number (Flip Ramps) Sub-subsection Name Sample Number: 2-3.8.1 Flip Ramps For example, “2-3.8.1 Flip Ramps” can be found in Chapter 2 (Architectural), Section 3 (Platforms), Subsection 8 (Dock Equipment). Module name and number are noted in the footer on each page. Reference Symbols Facility Type Reference Box The facility type reference box is used in Module 1 to prompt the user of all or additional information on a particular topic found in Module 2, Specific Design Criteria.

  • 1 CLOTHING and ARCHITECTURE: More in Common
    CLOTHING AND ARCHITECTURE: more in common Han Xu 20107500 1 Clothing and buildings are becoming even more alike. Both have typically served the bodies that inhabit them by maintaining environmental control and by presenting a codified exterior to the world. But now there are new kinds of physical resemblances between architecture and clothing. Various kinds of textiles and weaves are now being exploited in landscape and building design. Vast landscapes are shaped by geotexiles while building structures and envelopes exploit tensile, textile strategies, enabled by new lighter and more flexible materials and by the assistance of digital simulations. As well as becoming lighter, buildings are also becoming increasingly more temporary. The lifespans of buildings are ever shorter as their inhabitants become more transient, moving frequently from city to city. Evidence of this nomadic lifestyle can be found in fashion. Clothing, the portable envelope worn on the body, now provides some of the functions formerly associated with architecture. Designers are exploring the possibilities of integrated lights in clothes, pockets to carry portable electronic devices as well as soft electronic devices that are embedded in technical fabrics. Through other technological advances in textiles, specialized suits offer climatic control in very extreme environments. Yet other designers are integrating structure into clothing or even reviving the primitive model of a portable textile shelter. Many designers switch between fashion and architecture. Even the manufacturing processes for clothing and architecture can now be very much alike as new, highly sophisticated weaving robots automize the manufacturing process for articles of fashion or for components of buildings. In Gottfried Semper’s 1860 Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts, we find a creation myth for today’s textile buildings and architectural suits.

Generally, presort is performed sequentially, from the lowest (finest) level to the highest level, to those destinations specified by standard and is completed at each level before the next level is prepared. 1.3 Definition of Mailings A mailing is a group of pieces within the same class of mail and the same processing category that may be sorted together and/or presented under a single minimum volume mailing requirement under the applicable standards. Generally, types of mail that follow different flows through the postal processing system (e.g., automation, nonautomation carrier route, and other nonautomation) and mail for each separate class and subclass must be prepared as a separate mailing. Other specific standards may define whether separate mailings may be combined, palletized, reported, or deposited together. 1.4 Terms for Presort Levels [10-5-09] Terms used for presort levels are defined as follows: a. Carrier route: all pieces for delivery to the same city route, rural route, highway contract route, Post Office box section, or general delivery unit.

  • USPS Address Requirements for Automation Flats
    New Address Requirements for Automation, Presorted, and Carrier Route Flat-Size Mail AGENCY: Postal Service™. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Postal Service adopts new address placement and formatting requirements for Periodicals, Standard Mail®, Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail®, and Library Mail flat-size pieces sent at automation, presorted, or carrier route prices. We also adopt related revisions for automation and presorted First-Class Mail® flats. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 29, 2009 (one year after Federal Register final rule was published). [Note: The Pricing and Classification Service Center will consider submitted exception requests to use up preprinted stock or envelopes. No other exceptions will be granted. Business Mail Acceptance is now finalizing the postage adjustment for non-compliant pieces, but it is likely that all automation and presort discounts will be disallowed, in which case, single piece first class rates, based on weight, will apply.] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is implementing a new technology, the Flats Sequencing System (FSS), to automate delivery sequencing for flat-size mail. Currently, flat-size mail is sorted mechanically only to the 9-digit ZIP Code™ or carrier level, and then manually sorted into delivery order by carriers. FSS can sort flat-size mailpieces into delivery sequence, increasing efficiency by re- ducing carriers’ time sorting mail, and allowing carriers to begin delivering mail earlier in the day. We can significantly increase efficiency and reduce delivery costs for flat-size mail with FSS technology. FSS can sequence flat mail at a rate of approximately 16,500 pieces per hour. Scheduled to operate 17 hours per day, each machine will be capable of sequencing 280,500 mailpieces daily to more than 125,000 delivery addresses.
