Publication number: 20250185203Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Prabhu Sathyamurthy, Suryaprakash Ganti, Seshagiri Rao Madhavapeddy, Nilesh Sudhir Hasabnis, Vikram Mukundan, William Finn Ninian Paisley

Patent number: 9226292Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pascal Thubert, Norman William Finn, Jean-Philippe Vasseur, Patrick Wetterwald
