  • Publication number: 20250185203
    Abstract: A cooling system for a computing device is described. The cooling system includes a heat transfer structure. The heat transfer structure includes a heat spreader, a fin structure, and a differential pressure device. The fin structure transfers heat from the heat spreader to a fluid. The differential pressure device generates a low pressure region that draws the fluid from an ingress in the computing device through the fin structure. The heat transfer structure is enclosed in a chamber of the computing device. The chamber includes the ingress and an egress.

  • Publication number: 20240214100
    Abstract: According to embodiments, a first device transmits a timing marker frame (TMF) in a first transmission cycle. The first device determines a transmission time of the TMF. The first device determines a time difference between the transmission time of the TMF and a start time of a second transmission cycle. The first device transmits to a second device a phase offset message (POM) indicating the time difference. The first device transmits frames in a transmission cycle subsequent to the first transmission cycle.

  • Patent number: 10075391
    Abstract: A method for allocating port assignments for transmitting a reserved network stream across a network node comprises determining a cycle time associated with a network node. The method also comprises establishing, for at least one port of the network node, a plurality of virtual layers associated with the cycle time, wherein each of the plurality of virtual layers is divided into 2n equally-spaced slots per cycle (where n>0). The method further comprises receiving a reserved stream request associated with transmission of a reserved stream across the node, and determining a number of slots required to transmit the reserved stream. The method also comprises assigning one or more slots associated with a port of the network node to the transmission of packets associated with the reserved stream based on the determined number of slots. The method further comprises transmitting the stream according to the slot assignment associated with the port of the network node.

  • Patent number: 9372821
    Abstract: In one embodiment a limited functionality link state protocol node has one or two interfaces configured to send and receive link state protocol packets. In response to receiving, by the partially-participating link state protocol node on a first interface, a particular link state protocol data unit (LSP): sending the particular LSP from a second interface of the partially-participating link state protocol node without updating the local link state database when the second interface is currently participating in the link state protocol distribution; and sending an acknowledgment of the particular LSP from the first interface when the second interface is not currently participating in the link state protocol distribution.

  • Patent number: 9226292
    Abstract: One embodiment includes: forwarding a particular packet through an Available Routing Construct (ARC) chain topology network. In one embodiment, this forwarding includes: sending the particular packet by each particular non-edge node on an arc of the plurality of arcs receiving the particular packet to each sibling on the arc that did not send the particular packet to said particular non-edge node, while not sending the particular packet if it was received from both siblings of said particular edge node; and sending the particular packet to a respective child node on a second arc of the plurality of arcs by each particular edge node of two edge nodes on the arc after receiving the particular packet. In one embodiment, the network is a wireless deterministic network with pre-assigned time slots for receiving and subsequently sending a same particular packet by each node of the network.
