Embodiment Construction
[0026] Box structure / type detection
[0027]Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cassette 10 may be used in an automated embedding device, such as the one disclosed in the aforementioned incorporated PCT Application No. PCT / US02 / 30779. More specifically, the device can utilize an optoelectronic identification feature that can use a robotic system to determine which of at least two types of boxes 10 is being removed from an input cage. Different types of cassettes 10 may be, for example, of different sizes or have other different features and / or functions. Multiple interrogation points allow the use of an optical scanner to assign a binary signal to each interrogation point on the cassette 10 , which may be the holes 12 in the flange 14 located around the cassette body 16 . Since at this point it is beneficial for all cassettes 10 to use the same embedding frame, all cassettes 10 are designed to fit into the frame with a similar up-down orientation. As additional box features ar...
