French term

en douche

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks
Il est connu d’intégrer plusieurs modules lumineux en réseau au sein d’une installation. A titre d’exemple, les documents WO 2011/106623, WO 2010/116283 et WO 2011/123920 divulguent chacun un réseau de modules lumineux pilotés par un ou plusieurs contrôleurs et organisés de manière hiérarchique, notamment selon une organisation en douche.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 as a cascade

as a cascade

This is an educated guess, but it fits with "hiérarchique" earlier in the sentence. "Organisation en douche" doesn't get any hits, and I wonder if this had been written by an Arabic speaker with French as their second language.
If you're not familiar with "cascade" in a control and management context, it means that data filters downwards from the top to whichever level of the hierarchy is relevant
Example sentence:

Cascade management system and method for selecting end to end routing

washlight

C'est ce qu'on trouve dans le texte du premier brevet cité, traduit par Google ou un traducteur fatigué par "douche": une douche ça lave, mais un washlight pas du tout
