Buffer (Accounting)

is anything that stands between two other things. For examplean inventory buffer would be additional inventory over and above committed or planned inventory. The inventory buffer will act as an inventory reserve to ensure that sufficient inventory is available when and if requiredi.e.the buffer inventory stands between committed inventory and 'out-of-stock' status.

Buffer (Active Living)

A strip of land that physically and/or visually separates two land uses, especially if the uses are incompatible.

Buffer (Archival)

See Alkaline

Buffer (Audio Technology)

A device or (in digital systems) an area of memory that is used to temporarily store information for use elsewhere in the device, this technique is used either for convenience or for security reasons usually when a part of the device cannot handle the amount of information required or when a device cannot be expected to respond in real time. Alternativly : A circuit that provides electrical isolation for a device, a buffers input having a much higer Impedance that it's output.

Buffer (Beauty)

A pH balanced cleansing solution that is used to stabilize a product’s pH to lengthen the products shelf life and make it gentler on the complexion. It helps improve the look and feel of the skin leaving it shiny and suppler. A buffer is also an extremely fine-grit manicure tool used to shine the surface of the nail.

Buffer (Carpet)

1. Any substance in a solution that is capable of neutralizing both acids and bases; thereby, maintaining the original pH of the solution when either acid or alkali is added. 2. A colloquial term for a floor buffing or scrubbing machine.1.

Buffer (Computer Hardware)

An area of memory or storage that is temporarily reserved for I/O processing.

Buffer (Cosmetics)

An extremely fine-grit manicure tool used to shine the surface of the nail.

Buffer (DVD)

Temporary storage space in the memory of a device. Helps smooth data flow.

Buffer (DVD and CD)

Temporary storage space in the memory of a device. Helps smooth data flow.

Buffer (Dairy Production)

A chemical substances, such as sodium bicarbonate, that can maintain the pH of the rumen content around neutrality (pH = 6 to 7). The pH is maintained by neutralizing the volatile fatty acids and other organic acids produced by ruminal fermentation.

Buffer (Day Spa)

Solution that reacts with acids and bases to limit changes in pH.

Buffer (Digital Imaging)

A temporary storage space in computer memory before it is transferred.

Buffer (Digital Photography)

Memory in the camera that stores digital photos before they are written to the memory card.

Buffer (Drugs)

A woman who performs oral sex in exchange for crack; crack smoker

Buffer (Environment)

A solution or liquid whose chemical makeup is such that it minimizes changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it.

Buffer (Explosives)

A solution that can keep its pH, i.e., its relative acidity or alkalinity, constant despite the addition of strong acids or bases ( Acids & Bases). Buffer solutions contain either a weak acid or weak base and one of their salts. pH.

Buffer (Fiber Optics)

The protective layer that surrounds the fiber cladding. Fabrication techniques include tight or loose tube buffering.

Buffer (Fitness)

Substances that help reduce lactic acid build-up during strenuous exercise.

Buffer (Hard Drive Recovery)

A temporary data storage area used to make up for a difference in data transfer rates and/or data processing rates between sender and receiver. For example, a printer buffer copies data from the computer and holds it until the printer is ready to print it.

Buffer (Health and Beauty)

a pH balanced cleansing solution that is used to stabilize a product’s pH to lengthen the products shelf life and make it gentler on the complexion. It helps improve the look and feel of the skin leaving it shiny and suppler. A buffer is also an extremely fine-grit manicure tool used to shine the surface of the nail.

Buffer (Hunting)

A land area that is designated to block or absorb unwanted impacts to the area beyond the buffer. Buffer strips along a trail could block views that may be undesirable. Buffers may be set aside next to wildlife habitat to reduce abrupt change to the habitat.

Buffer (Import Cars)

A part or circuit used to reduce interaction between two electronic circuits.

Buffer (Landscape)

A vegetated strip immediately adjacent to a water body. The primary function of buffers is to protect the receiving water from sediment and pollutants derived from upstream areas. Ancillary benefits may include infiltration of rainfall and habitat enhancement. Forested riparian buffers are one example of a best management practice related to the use of buffers.

Buffer (Laptop)

An amount of memory, which temporarily stores data to help compensate for differences in the transfer rate of data from one device to another.

Buffer (Metal)

A substance added to aqueous solutions to maintain a constant hydrogen-ion concentration, even in the presence of acids or alkalis.

Buffer (Microprocessor)

A circuit that can be used to isolate one part of the computer from another. Buffers often provide extra current capabilities not found in the circuit driving the inputs. A buffer can also be used as a temporary storage register.

Buffer (Music Technology)

A temporary storage location in memory, where data may be accumulated until it is ready for processing.

Buffer (Nature)

An area surrounding a sensitive habitat such as a wetland, which lessens or absorbs the shock of an impact.

Buffer (Nautical)

The chief bosun's mate (in the Royal Navy), responsible for discipline.

Buffer (Photography)

Temporary memory area that stores data before it is written into a permanent area. In digital cameras, the memory where images are stored before they are written to the memory card.

Buffer (Pool and Spa)

Chemicals that help to stabilize the pH. In pools and spas, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is typically used to create a buffer that helps keep the pH in the optimum range.

Buffer (RAID Drive Recovery)

A temporary data storage area used to make up for a difference in data transfer rates and/or data processing rates between sender and receiver. For example, a printer buffer copies data from the computer and holds it until the printer is ready to print it.

Buffer (Science)

A substance that helps to control the pH of a solution

Buffer (Storage Media)

An area of RAM reserved for temporary storage of data that is waiting to be sent to a device. The data is usually on its way to or from the hard disk drive or some other peripheral device.

Buffer (Supply Chain)

1) A quantity of materials awaiting further processing. It can refer to raw materials, semi-finished stores, or hold points, or a work backlog that is purposely maintained behind a work center. 2) In the theory of constraints, buffers can be time or material, and support throughput and/or due date performance. Buffers can be maintained at the constraint, convergent points (with a constraint part), divergent points, and shipping points.

Buffer (Technology)

This is a temporary location to store or group information in hardware or software. Buffers are used whenever data is received in sizes that may be different than the ideal size for the hardware or software that uses the buffer. For example, a 64-bit processor on a 16-bit bus may have a buffer to hold 16-bit requests until they equal 64-bits. Another use of buffers is to keep hardware from getting overwhelmed with information. In that scenario, you use a large buffer to hold data until a device or program is ready to receive it, instead of just pushing it onto a device that might not be ready. Buffers must be optimized in size to work efficiently for the purpose they are designed.

Buffer (Wood Flooring)

A walk-beside sanding machine used for fine sanding, commonly called "screening."
