Abstract: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for multi-network/domain service discovery in a container orchestration platform are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, a pool of servers with a plurality of network interface controllers (NICs) is created in a load balancer and by an operator in a worker node of a container orchestration platform, where each of the plurality of NICs is defined by a corresponding network attachment definition (NAD) object of a plurality of NAD objects. A virtual service object is generated using an annotation corresponding to the plurality of NAD objects. The virtual service object is associated to the pool of servers with the plurality of NICs. An internet protocol (IP) address of the virtual service object is transmitted to the container orchestration platform to update a status of a service object in the container orchestration platform using the IP address.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging (lidar) receiver may include a first photodiode, a first amplifier connected to the first photodiode, and a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) connected to an output of the first amplifier. The lidar receiver may include a second photodiode, a second amplifier connected to the second photodiode, and a second ADC connected to the second amplifier. The lidar may include a processor connected to an output of the first ADC and an output of the second ADC and a direct-current-to-direct-current converter connected to an output of the processor and to the first photodiode and the second photodiode. The processor may determine, based on the output of the first ADC and the output of the second ADC, a first bias to apply to the first photodiode and a second bias to apply to the second photodiode.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging (lidar) receiver may include a first frequency filter to pass a first range of frequencies of an analog signal. The lidar receiver may include a second frequency filter to pass a second range of frequencies of the analog signal that is different from the first range of frequencies of the analog signal. The lidar receiver may include a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to derive a first digital signal based on the first range of frequencies of the analog signal using a first sampling rate. The lidar receiver may include a second ADC to derive a second digital signal based on the second range of frequencies of the analog signal using a second sampling rate that is different from the first sampling rate.

Abstract: The invention provides a current multiplexing circuit for time-domain multiplexing a plurality of current signals such as photocurrents that are received in a plurality of input terminals. The current signals are multiplexed using one or more analog low-resistance switches operational to connect each of the input terminals to an output switch terminal at a time in a selected sequence, while coupling the other input terminals and the output switch terminal to a reference potential such as ground. The current multiplexing circuit can be used in an optical power monitor with auto-calibration functionality for monitoring a plurality of optical signals.

Abstract: An important consideration in making a fiber optic device (e.g., comprising fiber in a polished tube at a certain angle and GRIN lens) is to limit sense, maintain and/or measure the gap-width between these two polished surfaces before they are either fused or glued for optimum performance. In automating the configuration, the gap is sensed, apart from optimizing in the transverse plane to minimize the loss. In the present application, a limit sensing method and system is provided to improve the effectiveness in automated manufacturing systems, by exploiting the electromechanical properties of induced EMF (Electro-Magnetic Force) by an electrical coil in presence of a magnet at mechanical resonance. Once it is known when two optical surfaces to be glued are said to have zero gap (i.e., contact between the surfaces), the present system provides an annunciation from limit-sensing electronics.
