Embodiments include a ground scout having an ability to identify the location of rows of crops and the end of the rows so that it can navigate, but in other embodiments, the ground scout can also rely more on an aerial drone to navigate, to act as a communication relay system, and so on. A buddy system including a ground scout and an air scout (e.g. drone) communicate their findings with each other.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and system for facilitating supply chain processes in an outsourced manufacturing environment comprising an original equipment manufacturer, at least one contract manufacturer, and at least one supplier. The method includes placing a purchase order with the contract manufacturing entity via an outsourced supply chain tool; filtering out parts listed on the purchase order that are flagged for special execution; and placing a second purchase order for flagged parts with the supplier. The second purchase order contains instructions for providing the flagged parts to the contract manufacturer. The method also includes coordinating delivery and payment transactions for the flagged parts and for finished products; monitoring associated activities of the entities involved; and resolving associated issues. The system includes a manufacturing entity comprising: a server executing a plurality of applications including an outsourced supply chain tool for implementing supply chain execution processes; a terminal and data storage device both in communication with the server; network links to a manufacturing division, a plurality of trading partner systems, a customer focus team system, and a commodity team council system; and a decentralized file database for providing supply chain execution data specific to a contract manufacturer system.

The present invention provides methods and systems for providing discriminated partner system resources to the user of a host system. A host entity has a business relationship with one or more partnered entities. A user accesses the host's system and then uses the host's system to connect to a partner's system. Access from one system to the next is seamless and requires no additional user input to verify the user's access rights to subsequently accessed partners' systems. The content delivered to the user from a partner's system is discriminated from a larger pool of information to appear consistent in appearance, message, or both with the host system. The host system, the partner system or both systems may perform the discrimination functions. The user is thereby provided with seamless access to partnered systems that reflects the business partnership of the host and various partners.

A system, method and computer program product for interfacing disparate partner systems to a transaction account issuer system is disclosed. A Web server receives a request from a disparate partner system, such as a Web service, a portal and / or a partner microsite and an application server extracts a partner identifier from the request. In turn, a delegate engine delegates actions corresponding to the request to one or more handlers using predetermined rules associated with the partner identifier. A worker manager manages worker code blocks which perform the actions based on a subset of the predetermined rules associated with the partner identifier. The Web server then communicates an outcome to the partner system based on the actions performed by the worker code blocks.

An interprocess communications platform enables individual processes to request and exchange data in a shared memory space, mediated by a communications engine. Processes, such as applications or other software running under an operating system or in a network, register to blocks of a shared memory space via an administrative memory space which tracks pointers, handles and other indicators of memory areas populated by individual processes. When one process requests access to a variable, pointer or other data generated by another process, the request is mediated by the communications engine. The communications engine may locate the target data belonging to the other process in the shared memory space, via a lookup of relative addressing in a separate administrative memory space. The communications engine, memory management objects and other resources may then lock the portion of the shared memory space allocated to the target process to permit the requesting process to access the data. Data may therefore be exchange between given processes while maintaining data integrity, and also may be cached in the shared memory space or elsewhere by the communications engine to further increase efficiency. Available memory in the shared memory space may be managed using the so-called buddy system or other heap or other management techniques. No named pipes or similar mechanisms under an operating system need be invoked.

One embodiment of a disclosed method and computer-readable storage medium provides customizable application search. Partner systems leverage search functionality of an application search system configured to perform searches for applications. In one embodiment, partner systems select filters to be applied to queries submitted to the application search system via the partners' websites, and specify particular attributes to be displayed with each search result returned by the application search system. When users submit queries to the application search system via a partner system, the users' queries are associated with the partner system's custom filters and attribute display preferences. In response to receiving the queries, the application search system returns search results filtered and formatted according to the partner system's custom preferences.

A dynamic storage management method for a signal element head converter includes distributing ITT list storage space and recover, among which suitable steps of buddy system should by mainly selected, first the ITT list space is cut into a group of space blocks from big to small arrange in sequence and an independent ITT idle block chained list is preserved for each space block to recall same size of idle blocks and to set up the said connection ITT list items when setting up input / output logic channel connection. When connection is dismantled, if the said connection is not the last connection imaged in ITT space block, then it is cancelled directly.

The invention provides a memory allocation method and a memory allocation device. The memory allocation method includes recording a memory module (RANK) to which each memory block group belongs; arranging the RANKs in a system according to a minimum free time rate priority (Min Free) mode or a least recently used (LRU) mode; determining size of a memory needed to be allocated, aiming at each RANK after arrangement, sequentially executing a step A: A, adopting a buddy system (BUDDY) algorithm to find the memory block groups which can be allocated in the memory block groups belonging to the RANK, if the memory block groups which can be allocated exist, performing allocation, recording an RANK to which new memory block groups generated after allocation belong, and finishing current processes; if the memory block groups which can be allocated do not exist, aiming at a next RANK, repeatedly executing the step A until the memory block groups are allocated successfully. By the memory allocation method and the memory allocation device, allocated memory block groups are enabled to belong to few RANKs as far as possible, so that convenience is brought to power consumption control of a memory system.

The invention discloses a dynamic cache pollution prevention system and method and belongs to the field of the optimization technique of computer cache performance. The dynamic cache pollution prevention system comprises a memory monitoring module, an analyzing module and a decision distribution module. The memory monitoring module performs sampling and monitoring on heap memory dynamically allocated to an upper client layer program, collects memory access behaviors of the client layer program and submits the memory access behaviors to the analyzing module. The analyzing module analyzes data collected by the memory monitoring module and judges pollution conditions of memory access features on cache in the front period of the program. The decision distribution module extends the existing buddy system, adds a page management mechanism with page-color as the basis, separates memory page management from page mapping, and controls a mapping mode from a system logic page to a physical frame according to the analysis result of the analyzing module to effectively limit cache pollution.
