Publication number: 20260156463Abstract: Techniques are described that enable onboarding of a plurality of heterogeneous client devices with secure access to a wireless network using a network management system (NMS). The NMS has a memory to store a plurality of private pre-shared keys (PPSKs), where each PPSK is provisioned for a particular client device or a particular group of client devices. In response to a key lookup request from an access point (AP) device for a client device, the NMS performs a key lookup and, in response to identifying a PPSK provisioned for the client device, authenticates the client device to access the wireless network via the AP device. The NMS then manages one or more of tracking the client device, policy application to the client device, or handling of network traffic from the client device while connected to the wireless network using the PPSK as an identifier of the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2026Publication date: June 4, 2026Inventors: Sanjoy Dey, Deanna Sue Hong, Jacob Thomas, Viacheslav Dementyev, Bo-Chieh Yang, Jordan Batch

Patent number: 12610257Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically configuring one or more settings of wireless radios within access point (AP) devices at a site based on wireless radio configuration settings for wireless radios within AP devices at manually tuned sites, i.e., “golden sites.” The techniques may automatically configure channel bandwidth settings of the wireless radios within the AP devices to optimize performance of wireless networks at the site. A system monitors operational parameters of the wireless radios within the AP devices at a site, identifies a class of wireless radios within AP devices at the golden sites that have similar operational parameters as one or more wireless radios within a particular AP device at the site, and automatically configures the settings of the wireless radios within the particular AP device at the site based on the settings associated with the identified class of wireless radios within AP devices at the golden sites.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: May Zar Lin, Jacob Thomas, Wenfeng Wang

Publication number: 20250227515Abstract: Techniques are described that detect areas with insufficient radio frequency (RF) coverage in a wireless network. A network management system (NMS) determines one or more service level expectation (SLE) metrics for each client device in a wireless network. The SLE metrics are aggregated to each access point (AP) in the wireless network, and each AP is assigned an AP score based on the aggregated SLE metrics. To identify potential coverage holes, the NMS groups APs having poor AP scores. If a root cause of the poor AP scores cannot be automatically resolved and if the poor AP scores persist for a predetermined period of time, the group of APs is determined to represent a true coverage hole. The NMS may generate a notification regarding recommended corrective actions to the customer and/or IT personnel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventors: Wenfeng Wang, Jacob Thomas

Patent number: 12312685Abstract: Vaporizer vessels include one or more reagent support panels, serving as dividers of interior space of the vessel, in a vertical orientation such as when filling the vaporizer vessels, and when rotated into a horizontal orientation, the panels support the vaporizable solid materials placed in one or more chambers formed by the panels and interior walls of the vessels and enable transfer of heat to those solid materials. The chambers are such that any or all chambers filled with the vaporizable solid materials provide a void space to allow the solid materials to vaporize and for gas to move through the vaporizer vessels when heated, to allow effective vaporization of the solid materials and further allow the vapor resulting from the solid materials to move to an outlet of the vessels where it can be provided as part of a process.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2024Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: ENTEGRIS, INC.Inventors: Benjamin Cardozo, Jacob Thomas
