  • Publication number: 20250085950
    Abstract: For dynamic installation of extensible network operating system (ENOS) extensions, a network device downloads a full software image (SWI) having a signature and a directory containing software packages from an install source. During downloading, the network device modifies the full SWI on the fly, including reading and removing the software packages (SWIX files) from the directory, as each one is read, determining whether to keep it, for each “keep” SWIX file, extracting an ENOS extension and a corresponding signature, and storing them on a nonvolatile memory, resulting in a modified SWI with a signature but without the SWIX files. After download is complete, the signed ENOS extensions stored on the nonvolatile memory are verified to determine valid ENOS extensions for inclusion in an overlay filesystem which becomes a root filesystem for the network device. The signed modified SWI is also verified before booting the network device into the modified SWI.

  • Publication number: 20240406014
    Abstract: A network device providing pseudo load sharing capabilities using low-cost power supplies that do not have active load sharing. Each of the power supplies is connected to a corresponding power rail that delivers power to a corresponding subgroup of the PoE ports of the network device. A switchable link is connected between the power rails and is controlled based on the power outputs of the power supplies. If both power supplies are providing output power at acceptable voltages, a switch component of the switchable link remains open, so that each power supply delivers power to its own separate subgroup of the PoE ports. If the output voltage of one of the power supplies falls below a threshold voltage, a switch component of the switchable link is closed to electrically connect the two power rails, allowing PoE ports of both subgroups to draw power from the remaining power supply.

  • Patent number: 11650645
    Abstract: Power management includes receiving power supply unit (PSU) power capacity data and PSU power consumption data from each PSU in a set of PSUs. A priority table is updated with controlled device power consumption data received from a set of controlled devices. If the PSU power consumption data of any PSU exceeds an associated threshold calculated based on the PSU power capacity data for the PSU, then one or more controlled devices are selected based on the controlled device power consumption data in the priority table. When power consumption data of any PSU exceeds the associated threshold, a power response procedure powers off at least one of the selected one or more controlled devices, reduces power supplied to at least one of the selected one or more controlled devices, or reduces an output voltage of any of the PSU for which the PSU power consumption data exceeds the associated threshold.

  • Patent number: 11433580
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for eliminating mold lines when molding a part having ferromagnetic pigments is provided. A mold assembly having a mold with a cavity and valve gates is formed. Pucks are fitted at the gates to collect residual cold plastic. The calculation of a specific sequence and timing of the opening of the valve gates is determined based on a calculation of the total number of valve gates needed to fill a part while maintaining acceptable injection molding pressure. Once calculated, the gates are positioned around the mold cavity to balance flow length ratio. A primary gate is chosen for initial injection. The time for the material to flow from the first to the second gate is established. The second gate is opened after the flow front reaches the second gate. This pattern continues until all valve gates are opened.
