Abstract: A first router generates session establishment metrics for use in network path selection. For example, a plurality of routers connect a client device to a network service instance hosted by a server. A first router is connected to the network service instance via first and second paths. The first router receives session performance requirements for a session between the client device and the network service instance. The first router forwards, along the first path, network traffic for the session by modifying a first packet of the session to include a session identifier for the session. The first router determines that session establishment metrics for the session do not satisfy the session performance requirements. In response, the first router forwards, along the second path, the network traffic for the session by modifying a second packet of the session to include the session identifier for the session.

Abstract: Apparatus for making treats having wafer shell.

Abstract: A method of making sugar cone spheres is disclosed having an interior of an edible filling such as ice cream or frozen yoghurt encapsulated by a wafer. The method includes: baking a wafer dough mix on a heated waffle iron to produce a wafer, shaping the wafer into a shape by placing the wafer between an outer mold and an inner half mold and pressing the outer mold against the inner mold, cutting the wafer at a perimeter of the shape to produce a half-molded wafer shell, adding an edible filling to a cavity of the half-molded wafer shell, adding another edible filling to a cavity of another half-molded wafer shell, joining a perimeter of the half-molded wafer shell and a perimeter of the other half-molded wafer shell, and freezing the half-molded wafer shell and the other half-molded wafer shell together to produce a bite-size edible treat.

Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser includes a resonant cavity formed between a distributed Bragg reflector formed of semiconductor material and an overlying distributed Bragg reflector formed of dielectric material The resonant cavity contains a layer of laser active material sandwiched between spacer layers and a blocking layer which confines an energizing electric current to flow through the cavity between a metallic contact layer on the underside of the Bragg reflector and a contract. In order to support a preselected resonant mode, a series of concentric rings is formed in the blocking layer surrounding the resonant cavity so as to provide a Bragg structure which reflects light from the cavity with a phase characteristic that supports the preselected transverse resonant mode.
