Abstract: A transport mechanism for a peripheral device and an operating method including the same are provided. The transport mechanism includes a tray, at least a transport roller, a detector, a trigger component and a processor. The tray includes an opening extending through the tray. The transport roller is rotatably installed in the opening and protruded from the tray to transport a flexible object to move along a transport path. The detector near the tray has a detecting area. The trigger component is located in the opening and spaced apart from the flexible object on the transport path. The flexible object deviated from the transport path presses the trigger component to enter or leave the detecting area and triggers the detector to transmit an abnormal detecting signal. The processor receives the abnormal detecting signal to stop the transport roller.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a health monitor that establishes and monitors a set of alive endpoints to be used as substitutes for a dead working window endpoints. The health monitor periodically monitors substitution endpoints. When a request manager determines that a working window endpoint is dead, the request manager sends a request to the health monitor for a substitute endpoint. The health monitor receives the request and identifies an appropriate substitution endpoint from the health monitor endpoints to provide to the request manager to substitute for the dead endpoint. The health monitor releases the identified substitution endpoint to the request manager.

Abstract: A runtime capability check determines functionality supported by a client application (e.g. a browser) on a computing device. During the runtime capability check, the client application (e.g. the browser) attempts to execute different function tests to determine its capabilities. The result information from the function tests are stored. The stored result information is used by the client application during subsequent connections with the server (e.g. the cookie is passed from the mobile computing device to the server). Based on the supported functionality as determined by the stored result information, the rendering code is adapted for, generated and delivered to the computing device by the server. For example, when the client application supports the tested functionality then the server renders the content using full feature rendering. When the client application does not support all of the tested functionality then the server renders the content using limited feature rendering.
