  • Patent number: 12278062
    Abstract: A rubber and metal composite electric contact and a preparation process therefor. The rubber and metal composite electric contact is a circular layered complex which is formed by tightly combining a metal sheet layer having a plurality of through holes and a rubber layer by means of thermal vulcanization molding and which has a thickness of 0.1 to 5 mm and a diameter of 1 to 15 mm. There is no isolation layer between the rubber layer and the metal layer of the electric contact, so no rubber overflows the outer surface of the metal layer. In the rubber and metal composite electric contact, the rubber and metal are combined firmly and the overall strength of the electric contact is adjustable; the electric contact also has good dust resistance; and the electric contact thus has stable and reliable electrical conductivity.

  • Publication number: 20250030663
    Abstract: Techniques associated with exchanging data between clusters are disclosed. A data packet can be received from a first pod in a first cluster of a cluster set that targets a second pod or service in a second cluster of the cluster set. A label identity is determined for the first pod from a table of pods and label identities. The label identity for the first pod is added in a virtual network identifier field of a data packet header. The data packet is communicated from a first virtual switch to the second cluster through a tunnel interface and gateway node. Upon receipt of the data packet, the label identity is extracted from the data packet header, and an ingress rule associated with the label identity can be determined. Access to the second pod is controlled based on the rule.
