Patent number: 7668761Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method whereby companies can optimally resolve the conflicts with respect to product availability. Embodiments of the invention allow users to search for product availability throughout its entire supply chain network to address conflicts as they arise. In particular, the present invention creates time-phased inventory plans that meet customer requirements while minimizing inventory and maximizing profit by ensuring that a company is carrying the right inventory at the right locations. Using the present invention, companies can orchestrate the time-phased storage and flow of a given product's supply to match demand by creating an optimal inventory strategy that includes deployment plans, master production schedules, and procurement requirements.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2001Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: JDA Software GroupInventors: Joseph A. Jenkins, Phoebe Hsiang, Rosalie Seaman, Boina Kanth, Grace Bestland

Publication number: 20070293869Abstract: An acetabular instrument has a handle portion having one or more solid nonflexible drive shaft elements therethrough. The shaft elements are connected by a U-joint at one of both ends to form a flexible curved drive shaft. One end of a solid shaft element is connected to a knob so that rotation of the knob drives the flexible shaft. The flexible shaft is housed within a hollow curved body preferably made of stainless steel. One end of the curved body it is connected to the handle portion and at the other end to an acetabular cup or acetabular reamer holder. The reamer holder is rotatably driven by the flexible drive shaft. The knob may be made so that it may receive blows from a mallet allowing the instrument to be used as an impactor. The drive shaft may be used to actuate a locking mechanism within the cup or reamer holder which connects the reamer cup to the instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2006Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: John Conte, Joseph Jenkins
