Publication number: 20240179025Abstract: A system for efficient multicast control packet forwarding is provided. During operation, the system can maintain a first tunnel between a first switch and a second switch in an overlay tunnel fabric. The encapsulation of a packet sent via the overlay tunnel fabric is initiated and terminated within the overlay tunnel fabric. The system can maintain a second tunnel between the first switch and a third switch, which can be in an external network that excludes the first and second switches. The switch can distinguish the first and second tunnels as intra-fabric and inter-fabric tunnels, respectively. Upon receiving a multicast control packet via the first tunnel, the system can identify the second tunnel as the inter-fabric tunnel and forward the multicast control packet via the second tunnel. Here, a respective multicast control packet received from the first tunnel can be precluded from being forwarded on intra-fabric tunnels.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Tathagata Nandy, Chethan Chavadibagilu Radhakrishnabhat, Thomas Samuel, Priyam De

Patent number: 11958217Abstract: Systems and methods for compacting components are provided. In one exemplary aspect, a component is positioned between a first tool portion and a second tool portion of a compaction tool. A sandwich structure is positioned between the first tool portion and the component. The sandwich structure includes a thermally expandable material and a rigid shell.

Patent number: 11826953Abstract: 3-D build jobs having surrogate supports, 3-D printers using surrogate supports, and techniques to support vulnerable regions of build pieces using surrogate supports are disclosed. The surrogate supports are generated in a first material configuration and are offset via a gap from the vulnerable regions. The gap comprises a second material configuration, such as loose or partially fused powder on which the build piece can be supported during 3-D printing. In alternative embodiments, the gap instead includes thin manual ties or a solid body using material that is stronger but more amenable to breaking off without damaging the build piece. Post-processing steps are dramatically reduced as the surrogate supports and gaps facilitate virtually error-free separation from the build piece. In an embodiment, the surrogate supports include a support structure extending to a fixed base underneath, the fixed base being a build plate or a global surrogate.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: DIVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Samuel Noah Miller, Michael Thomas Kenworthy, Eric Paul Monteith, Thomas Samuel Bowden, Jr.

Patent number: 11773956Abstract: Techniques for joining nodes and subcomponents are presented herein. An additively manufactured first node or subcomponent has a groove. An additively manufactured second node or subcomponent has a tongue configured to extend into and mate with the groove to form a tongue-and-groove connection between the first and second node or subcomponent. In some aspects, the tongue-groove connection may extend substantially around a periphery of the node or subcomponent. In other aspects, a first subcomponent having a fluid pipe interface may be coupled via a tongue-groove connection to a second subcomponent having a fluid pipe interface, thereby enabling fluid to flow between subcomponents of the resulting integrated component.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: DIVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Antonio Bernerd Martinez, Eahab Nagi El Naga, David Brian TenHouten, John Russell Bucknell, Broc William TenHouten, Chukwubuikem Mercel Okoli, Thomas Samuel Bowden, Jr., Muhammad Faizan Zafar
