Abstract: Networking device serviceability may be provided. A networking device may be disposed in a rack between uprights. The networking device may comprise a first plurality of switch bars each comprising a first switch type arranged parallel to one another, a second plurality of switch bars each comprising a second switch type arranged parallel to one another, and a third plurality of switch bars each comprising a third switch type arranged parallel to one another. The first plurality of switch bars, the second plurality of switch bars, and the third plurality of switch bars may be arranged orthogonally. A hinge device associated with the networking device may be configured to allow the networking device to rotate at least a predetermined angle value from a first position between the uprights to a second position where both the first plurality of switch bars and the second plurality of switch bars are clear from the uprights.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains sensor data indicative of three dimensional (3-D) orientations of primary and secondary wireless power transfer (WPT) charging coils. The secondary coil is mounted to a vehicle and the primary coil provides charge to the secondary coil during charging. The device detects misalignment between the primary and secondary WPT coils based on the sensor data. The device determines a coil alignment correction to offset the detected misalignment. The device sends control commands to one or more actuators to implement the coil alignment correction by moving one or more of the coils, either directly (e.g., via directly-coupled actuators) or indirectly (e.g., via the suspension of a vehicle).

Abstract: A networking device with orthogonal switch bars may be provided. The networking device may comprise a first plurality of switch bars comprising leaf switches arranged parallel to one another. In addition, the networking device may comprise a second plurality of switch bars comprising top of pod switches arranged parallel to one another. Furthermore, the networking device may comprise a third plurality of switch bars comprising top of fabric switches arranged parallel to one another. The first plurality of switch bars, the second plurality of switch bars, and the third plurality of switch bars may be arranged mutually orthogonally. The first plurality of switch bars may be adjacent to and connected to the second plurality of switch bars and the second plurality of switch bars may be adjacent to and connected to the third plurality of switch bars.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining performance characterization values from endpoints managed by a first fog node at a first hierarchical level in a hierarchy of fog nodes. The method includes changing a first operating characteristic of the wireless network based on the performance characterization values. The first operating characteristic affects the operation of one or more of the endpoints. The method includes transmitting a portion of the performance characterization values to a second fog node at a second hierarchical level in the hierarchy of fog nodes. The method includes changing a second operating characteristic of the wireless network based on an instruction from the second fog node. The second operating characteristic affects the operation of the first fog node and/or other fog nodes at the first hierarchical level. Changing one or more of the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic satisfies an operating threshold for the wireless network.
