It is an advantage of the invention that the scheduling takes account not only completion time (makespan), but also energy consumption. Aspects of the invention include a method, software, a scheduling module of a computer and a schedule.
Patent AU-2009200000-A1 (AU)
Title: Artificial intervertebral disc having a captured ball and socket joint
Inventor: TATAR STEPHEN
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 2009-01-08
Abstract: An artificial disc having a pair of opposing baseplates, for seating against opposing vertebral bone surfaces, separated by a ball and socket joint that includes a ball compression locked to a post extending from one of the baseplates. The ball is captured within a curvate socket formed in a peak of a convex structure attached to the other of the baseplates. The socket is formed by opposing curvate surfaces, one on the convex structure and one on the other of the baseplates. While the ball angulates freely in the socket, the rotation of the ball in the socket has a limited range due to interference between a protrusion on the convex structure that extends into the socket and a curvate recess on the ball. The ball and socket joint therefore permits the baseplates to rotate relative to one another through a limited range and also angulate relative to one another.

Title: Using cell debris generated from PHA recovery for enhanced cell growth and biopolyester formation
Inventor: YU JIAN
IPC: C12P7/62
Filed: 2009-10-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing biodegradable polymeric materials including polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by using the cell debris left from PHA recovery and purification. The process comprises: (a) cultivating PHA-producing microbial cells in a medium solution containing an organic carbon source to form PHAs that are accumulated in the cells as inclusion bodies; (b) harvesting the cells from the spent medium and solubilizing the non-PHA cell mass to obtain a PHA solid and a cell debris solution; (c) separating the PHA solid from the cell debris solution; (d) feeding the cell debris solution to the cultivation step (a). By reusing the cell debris generated from PHA recovery, the invention avoids disposal of a large amount of aqueous waste. In addition, a remarkable increase of cell growth and PHA synthesis is achieved, because the cell debris can be readily assimilated by the microbial cells as the nutrients.
