Technologies for mesh path selection are described. One method of operating a first wireless mesh device includes determining, using first client information about a first link, the first link using a first frequency range, a first metric representing airtime usage on the link, and a second metric representing a first amount of data on a second link, the second link using the first frequency range. The method determines a third metric on a third link, the third link using a second frequency range. The method determines, using the metrics, a first throughput associated with a first path with the second link and a second throughput associated with a second path. The method determines that the third link results in better throughput and sends or receives first data on the third link.

A method for enhanced mesh networking, including performing network analysis, configuring router link parameters, and managing routing paths, is described. A metric for routing path assessment, including a throughput metric and a channel utilization metric, is described. A Segment Table Announced Mesh Protocol, including determining network segments and designating forwarding devices for communication between the network segments, is described.

Systems and methods for enhanced mesh networking

A method for enhanced mesh networking, preferably including performing network analysis, configuring router link parameters, and managing routing paths. A metric for routing path assessment, preferably including a throughput metric and a channel utilization metric. A Segment Table Announced Mesh Protocol, preferably including determining network segments and designating forwarding devices for communication between the network segments.

An interface device is interposed between a control server and a controlled device to facilitate communications between the control server and the controlled device. The interface device receives control signals from the control server and relays those signals to the controlled device. Furthermore, the interface device receives sensor readings from the controlled device and forwards them in suit to the server. The control signals may be input into the interface device over a digital connection (e.g., USB connection) and output over an analog channel.

Control interface

A digitally-controllable laser apparatus includes a resonator, which includes a two-dimensional micromirror array, and an output facet configured to output a laser beam. The array has a controllable two-dimensional reflectivity to provide control of a two-dimensional wave front of the laser beam. A digitally-controlled Q-switching of the laser apparatus, and shaping of the laser beam wave front to thereby steer the laser beam can be realized.

Laser device with digitally controlled resonator

Some embodiments provide a system that tests a computing system. During operation, the system monitors a temperature of a component in the computing system while running a series of calibrated workloads on the component. Next, the system analyzes a fluctuation of the temperature resulting from the calibrated workloads to determine a thermal performance of the component. The system then uses the determined thermal performance to improve the reliability of the computing system.
