Abstract: Present invention teaches a contactless palm scanner made up of an optical scanning unit, distance sensor, lights, air vent, and a speaker housed in a main body where the desired. controlling logic, implemented in a programmable logic means, will guide a person's hand to approach the device and, with light and sound cues, direct the palm to the right location for the scan and recognition against information in a stored database, all done without causing the hand/palm to make physical contact with the device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing high availability support at a bypass switch are disclosed. One method occurs at a bypass switch. The method includes determining that an inline tool associated with a bypass switch is unavailable. The method also includes determining whether the inline tool is required or optional. The method further includes in response to determining that the inline tool is required, disabling at least one link associated with the bypass switch so as to trigger a switchover involving a second bypass switch.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are vertical traction systems and methods of using the vertical traction systems to treat both bones and muscles in a normal working state. In one embodiment, a vertical traction system includes a frame, a load-bearing assembly, and a spinal traction assembly. The load-bearing assembly is coupled to the frame, and is configured to move vertically and support a subject under treatment in an upright position while the load-bearing assembly moves vertically. The spinal traction assembly is coupled to the frame, and is configured to pull the cervical or lumbar spine of the subject.

Abstract: A switching system includes memory and a switching circuit. The memory stores a port priority table and a trigger source and condition table. The switching circuit for switches network traffic between a number of ports based on the port priority table, the trigger source and condition table, and port health status data. Switching network traffic includes: determining a priority path for a first port using the port health status data and the trigger source and condition table; determining a second port specified as a destination for network traffic arriving at the first port by the port priority table for the priority path; and routing incoming network traffic from the first port to the second port.
