Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, communicating management plane (M-plane) data at a first port of a radio unit (RU), the RU being one RU of a set of radio units (RUs) at a cell site of a network operator, the M-plane data related to management and control of the RU, wherein the communicating M-plane data comprises communicating the M-plane data with a distributed unit (DU) over an M-plane segment, and initiating communication of the M-plane data at a second port of the RU, the second port configured for data communication over an alternate M-plane segment to a second RU of the set of RUs for forwarding the M-plane data to the DU over a second M-plane segment between the second RU and the DU, wherein the initiating communication is in response to an interruption in the communicating M-plane data.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to microfluidics, and to systems and methods for controlling the flow of fluids. Certain aspects are generally directed to microfluidic channels that are parallel to each other, e.g., within a microfluidic interconnected region of a microfluidic device. In some embodiments, a fluid in a first microfluidic channel may be prevented from entering a second microfluidic channel due to a trench or other feature separating the channels. The trench may include features that at least partially prevent fluid from crossing. For example, the ends of the trench may be positioned such that fluids cannot access the ends, e.g., due to overhang regions between the trench and the microfluidic channels. This may keep the fluids pinned within the channels in some embodiments. Thus, for example, a fluid in a first microfluidic channel may be hardened to form a hydrogel, while the second microfluidic channel may remain free of the fluid and the hydrogel, due to the trench.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to microfluidics, and to systems and methods for controlling the introduction of fluids. For example, certain aspects are generally directed to microfluidic devices having ports able to direct the end of a pipette tip into an end portion that is sized so as to allow fluid to flow from the pipette tip into an exit fluidly connected to a microfluidic channel. For example, the port may have a tapered portion that directs the pipette tip to the end portion. The end portion may be sized such that it is difficult for fluid to backflush around the pipette tip, and thus, the fluid is able to flow into microfluidic channels within the device, e.g., without resulting in excessive fluid remaining within the end portion. Other aspects are generally directed to methods of making or using such microfluidic devices, kits including such microfluidic devices, and the like.
