About
The Hitachi USB Finger Vein Biometric Authentication Unit PCT-KCUA011 performs image capture, verification and authentication within the unit. This reduces load on the host system or PC. The device supports operating systems other than Windows®.
Because finger veins are inside the body and invisible from the outside, finger vein patterns are extremely hard to steal and do not change with age, making it an ideal biometric feature for secure authentication.
A clear finger vein image can be captured for highly accurate authentication by using the “transmissive light photographing method”.The compact size readers can be integrated into various devices/terminals. The finger vein authentication technology uses a finger vein pattern, unique to each individual, for verification and identification of an individual. The finger vein pattern is obtained by projecting near-infrared rays generated from LEDs of a finger vein reader through the individual’s finger. Near-infrared rays are absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood and thus appear as dark shadow lines in a captured image.

Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
