  • Patent number: 12578037
    Abstract: A method for binding a cable bundle using simple strip bindings, where producing a binding includes lacing the strip around the bundle and producing a stop by adhesively bonding the lacing to itself by applying at least one glue dot to the strip once the lacing has been carried out, without a self-locking knot being formed. A piece of looped strip is wound around the cable bundle, the two strands of the strip are introduced into the loop, a glue dot is deposited onto the strands close to the loop, and the strands are pulled to trap the glue dot between the strands and the peak of the loop. Eliminating self-locking knots gains time in the production of the bindings, limits the risk of MSDs in operators, and to automates the process increasing productivity and reducing both the amount of binding strip required and the amount of offcuts.

  • Patent number: 12580843
    Abstract: A method for determining an interconnection topology between switches of a communication network. Such a method includes, for at least one given leaf switch, determining an effective path for the communication of data between the leaf switch and a root switch, determining the effective path including: determining at least one candidate path between the leaf switch and the root switch, the candidate path including at least one section between a first switch and a second switch; and for each candidate path, computing a metric based on at least one quantity representative of a ratio, determined for a corresponding section of the candidate path, between an effective requirement for the data throughput transiting via the section and a transport capacity of the connection of the section. The effective path is determined as being the candidate path with the extremal metric from the one or more candidate paths.

  • Patent number: 12523867
    Abstract: A protective seal taking the form of a hollow body includes a first wall, a second wall opposite the first wall, and a section between the first wall and the second wall. The first wall has an opening and the second wall has at least one slot. The protective seal is configured so as to pass, when a force is exerted on the second wall, in a direction perpendicular to the second wall, from a rest position to a stressed position. In the rest position, at least one slot is closed. In a stressed position, at least one slot is deformed, freeing up an opening in the second wall.
