Abstract: A structural panel assembly includes first and second structural panels. Each structural panel includes: a substrate; an elongated male joint member comprising an aluminum extrusion at a first longitudinal edge portion of the substrate, with the male joint member including a latch member including a curved portion that extends the length of the substrate; and an elongated female joint member including an aluminum extrusion at a second, opposite longitudinal edge portion of the substrate, with the female joint member including a curved channel that extends the length of the substrate. The curved channel of the female joint member of the first structural panel is sized and configured to receive the latch member of the male female joint member of the second structural panel with the first and second structural panels in a coupled position.

Abstract: Non-pending tasks having no pending due dates (e.g., past due tasks) are scheduled with pending tasks having pending due dates by first generating a hypothetical schedule and then an actual schedule. The hypothetical schedule is generated by distributing hours to complete pending tasks as evenly as possible over as many days as possible up to respective due dates; then scheduling non-pending tasks during hours normally available for work and which are not distributed to pending tasks; and then recording as quasi due dates for respective non-pending tasks the dates that the respective non-pending tasks would be completed on the hypothetical schedule. The actual schedule is then generated by scheduling non-pending tasks with pending tasks in chronological order, according to pending due dates for pending tasks, and quasi due dates for non-pending tasks.

Abstract: A data storage device having a light source for emitting a beam of light along a directed path, and an array of light sensors, each of which light sensors corresponds to a predetermined quanta of data. A disc is configured, and positioned relative to the light source and the array of light sensors, for receiving the beam of light and redirecting the path of the received beam of light to a particular one of the light sensors, wherein the array of light sensors is responsive to the reception of the beam of light for generating a signal indicative of the particular light sensor which receives the beam of light, thereby indicating the quanta of data corresponding to the light sensor.
