Abstract
A multiple layer mesh design that provides that a bridge associated with a second layer connects a rail on a first layer to a trunk on a fourth layer. If the trunk on the third layer shadows a plurality of rails on the first layer, preferably the bridge is at least as wide as a sum of the widths of the rails on the first layer which are shadowed by the trunk on the third layer. If the trunk on the third layer shadows a single rail on the first layer, preferably the bridge is at least as wide as twice the width of the rail on the first layer.
