  • Publication number: 20230251412
    Abstract: A system includes a transparent rod, a light guide assembly, and first and second transparent monolithic optical parts (TMOPs) having the same refractive index. The first TMOP has a first surface having two prism arrays separated by a flat surface having a partially reflective coating, and an opposite second flat surface. Each prism array has two prisms having first and second surfaces oblique to each other. The prism arrays' first surfaces have a partially reflective coating contrary to the second surfaces. The second TMOP has a surface having a geometrically complementary shape relative to the first TMOP first surface's shape and has an opposite second flat surface. When assembled using a first optically transparent adhesive, the first and second TMOPs' second surfaces are parallel. The rod has a partially reflective gradient coating on one surface where it's assembled with the light guide assembly using a second optically transparent adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20230246943
    Abstract: A system can determine by which path/tunnel an Internet destination can be best reached for a user with an IP address from a static BGP range. The system looks up the destination address in an egress map. This map can either specify a tunnel that should be used for encapsulation for static BGP, or (when tunnel is not present) cause the system to send out unencapsulated traffic, in which the traffic follows normal BGP routing on a border network.
