Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for configuring wireless routers of a wireless mesh network with one or more secondary wireless access points (WAPs) such that client devices connected to the mesh network may remain online in the event that a primary WAP goes offline or otherwise becomes unavailable. For instance, a user of the wireless mesh network may specify a device, such as a mobile electronic device connected to a cellular network, to operate as a secondary WAP in the event that a primary WAP becomes unavailable. Thereafter, upon a wireless router of the mesh network detecting that the primary WAP is unavailable, the wireless router may perform a network scan to identify SSID(s) that are available within the environment. The wireless router may also instruct the other routers of the mesh network to perform a network scan.

Abstract: A host system operates to manage a storage device. The host system initiates an abort of a command when the command has been fetched from a submission queue (SQ) of the host system and the SQ entry has been fetched from the SQ and the host system has not received a corresponding command completion response from the storage device. The host system sends an abort request to the storage device, and issues a cleanup request to direct a host controller to reclaim host hardware resources allocated to the command. The host system adds a completion queue (CQ) entry to a CQ and sets an overall command status (OCS) value of the CQ entry to indicate completion of the abort request.

Abstract: An animal irradiation system includes a radioactive source and an irradiation fixing apparatus having irradiated bodies. The radioactive source includes a beam outlet having a first central axis. Radioactive rays generated by the radioactive source exit from the beam outlet and irradiate the irradiated bodies. The radioactive rays define a main axis around the first central axis. The irradiation fixing apparatus includes a box body, which is divided into multiple accommodating chambers around a second central axis. Each accommodating chamber accommodates an irradiated body. Multiple first irradiation holes corresponding to the accommodating chambers are formed on the box body. The radioactive rays pass through the first irradiation holes and then irradiate the irradiated bodies. A maximum distance from an inner wall of each first irradiation hole to the first central axis is less than a minimum distance from an inner wall of the beam outlet to the first central axis.
