Differentiating Between Line And Path Faults To Prevent Sympathetic Protection Switches In Cascaded Protection Networks, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to differentiating between line and path faults to prevent sympathetic protection switches in cascaded protection networks, in Optical Transport Network (OTN). The approach differentiates between faults at the line layer and faults at the service / path layer before triggering a protection switch or turning off a client laser. It also does not require any specific functionality / overhead (such as Tandem Connection Monitors (TCMs), which exist only in OTN networks) or proprietary / special signaling or communications between any components of the system.

Modifying Segment Routing Flex Algorithm Definition (Fad) Without Causing Routing Loops In Traffic Engineering Networks, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to facilitating loop-free Flex Algorithm Definition (FAD) modifications in Segment Routing networks. The proposed solution enables a seamless transition of traffic from a path computed using an old FAD to a path computed using a new FAD, while avoiding loops in the network. This is achieved by utilizing a set of Backup Flex Algorithm (FA) Prefix Segment Identifiers (SIDs) and a set of timers that control the transition between the old FA PFX SIDs and the Backup FA PFX SIDs. This approach allows FAD modifications without causing network loops or traffic loss.

Dynamic Assignment Of Back-Off Timer Of Sncs, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

SNCs (Sub-Network Connections) in a Layer 0 (L0) optical network need to be restored when there are faults. Conventionally, restoration is performed on a First Come First Serve (FCFS) basis leaving possibilities that higher priority services do not get resources. To solve this problem, the present disclosure dynamically adjusts a back-off timer expiration and an approach to prioritize restoration of different types of services (SNCs). Advantageously, this leads to better Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for highest priority services, improved traffic up time, higher service availability, etc.

Cooling Components, Optics, And Printed Circuit Boards Via Embedded Liquid Cooled Copper Slugs Or Pipes, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to cooling of networking components, optics, and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) via embedded Liquid Cooled (LC) copper slugs or pipes. Multiple smaller, strategically placed slugs can help extract heat at the PCB level, maintaining a cooler and more evenly cooled PCB. Larger or component specific slugs can be placed under or near components to extract heat out directly from the multiple components. This reduces cooling cost as one slug can remove heat from multiple devices and does not hinder PCB rework as LC slugs are embedded into the PCB and do not cover or prevent access …

Generating Images With Precise Local Image Feature By Fine-Tuning Image Generation Models Using Domain-Specific Embedding, Alan Yang, Ira Kemelmacher Shlizerman, Yingwei Li, Hao Peng

Defensive Publications Series

While image generation machine learning models are capable of generating images responsive to text and/or image prompts, it is difficult to precisely control local image features of the generated images. High-level features such as color, shape, etc. can be controlled via input prompts, but using a deeper, more precise text description often does not lead to output images that capture details of the text description. In domain-specific use cases, e.g., garment try-on, this limitation means that output images do not match the requested detail in a query. This disclosure describes techniques to generate images that match an input query such …
