The special feature of this multiphase and multidimensional wave converter is that it exploits, in an efficient and enduring manner, substantially all of the energy in all waves of the sea, also side waves, and hence is capable of producing large amounts of cheap power. The wave converter comprises at least two buoyant elements (1) connected in a chain of rods (2A, 2B) and joints (3, 4). Each single buoyant element is in a different phase of the wave than that of the others. They will therefore absorb the energy from the relative motion and forces between each set of buoyant elements (1). Each of the elements (1) is capable of moving and pivoting in three dimensions whilst the energy from all these motions is exploited. The energy-producing devices may be comprised of fluid-driving pumps (7, 8, 9) responding to the pivoting of the joints (3,4) and the motion of the rods (2A, 2B). The wave converter absorbs energy from a varying wave spectrum and from all directions. The forces affecting the wave converter are balanced by the various buoyant elements (1), thus avoiding transmitting these forces via mooring. The wave converter provides appreciable economic advantages and durability. It may also operate at any place in the sea and the ocean, at shallow depths as well as at the large depths of the ocean.

A method and apparatus that maintains a database of the demands over time for all the different refurbished machines is disclosed. The invention also maintains the supply over time of all the different machines that will be returned from expired leases. The invention maintains the relationship for alternate parts which parts can be used in place of another. The invention also maintains an inventory of parts and machines. As machines are returned from expired leases, they come into inventory. From this inventory, some of the machines will, from time to time be scheduled to be refurbished or demanufactured. The balance will remain in inventory. When a machine is demanufactured, all of the parts that are produced will be put in inventory. However, some may be used immediately to satisfy a demand for the part and the balance may be used to satisfy demand for the same part later or be used as an alternate part for some other part. The invention also maintains a bill-of-materials that is a cross reference of all the parts that can be produced from each machine. Related to this are parametric data that is required. These data are yields associated with the refurbishing and demanufacturing process, the offset or time required for these processes, the resources required and the capacity of the resource, etc. The final set of information that is maintained by the invention are the priorities of the different demands. These priorities can be time sensitive, if required. These priorities reflect the economic advantage of satisfying one demand before another. For example, demands for refurbished machines may have a high priority, reflecting the consideration that refurbishing generally requires minimal effort and generates a large revenue and profit. Demands (auction / sales) for certain parts sometimes have a high resale value and they would be given a high priority. Finally, most of the other demands (service, sales and auctions) for parts may have a lower priority.
