  • Publication number: 20250227515
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250227517
    Abstract: Techniques are described by which a network management system (NMS) receives, from a plurality of access points (APs) configured to provide a wireless network, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values. The NMS generates, based on the RSSI values, a graph of the plurality of APs, wherein the graph of the plurality of APs includes a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster comprises a subset of the plurality of APs that are grouped based on strength of connectivity between the subset of the plurality of APs. The NMS generates, based on the graph, an upgrade plan to upgrade the plurality of APs, wherein the upgrade plan comprises a plurality of batches, wherein each batch includes a selection of at least one AP from each of one or more of the plurality of clusters. The NMS sends the upgrade plan to an orchestrator to execute the upgrade plan.

  • Patent number: 12312685
    Abstract: 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.
