Abstract: A method of managing a buffer (or buffer memory) includes utilizing one or more shared pool buffers, one or more port/priority buffers and a global multicast pool. When packets are received, a shared pool buffer is utilized; however, if a packet does not fit in the shared pool buffer, then the appropriate port/priority buffer is used. If the packet is a multicast packet, then the global multicast pool is utilized for copies of the packet.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a planning system for crop production, a planning method for crop production, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium. The system comprises an analyzing module, a grouping module, and a scheduling module. The analyzing module analyzes historical prices of each crop, and produces price feature information of each crop. The grouping module groups the plurality of crops by similar price feature information according to the price feature information of each crop into a plurality of crop groups. Then at least two crop groups are selected from the plurality of crop groups as a planning group. The price feature information for the plurality of crops in the planning group have a complementary relationship. The scheduling module selects at least a crop from the plurality of crops in each crop group of the planning group according to planting information of each crop and produces a plan.

Abstract: Control parameters of a printing device are optimized using a process model to reduce a process tone reproduction curve (TRC) error between a process TRC and a desired TRC. Tone-corrected halftone levels for the printing device are generated using a sensor model to reduce a printing device TRC error between a TRC of the printing device and the desired TRC, based on color patches printed by the printing device using the control parameters as have been optimized, as measured by one or more sensors of the printing device.
