ThirdFactor | Fujitsu develops high-speed imaging technology

Friday, April 17, 2009

Fujitsu, a Japan-based developer of biometric technology, has announced that they have developed the first image technology that can perform palm-vein authentication in motion requiring only one millisecond to perform the capture. Fujitsu says the technology is as accurate as its past vascular imaging technologies that required a static hand to take a sample capture.

The developers further claim that the device is capable of capturing images at the same rate of speed as an average walking speed. With the new technology in place, Fujistu expects to be able to create palm-vein scanning devices that are much more user friendly and can operate with as much if not more ease then most contactless ID card systems making the technology more applicable for physical access control than before.

Fujitsu, Positek pair for garment tracking solutions

Fujitsu announced a strategic partnership with Positek RFID that will integrate the Fujitsu WT-A511 RFID tags into the Positek line of garment tracking solutions.

The WT-A511 RFID tags are durable, able to withstand hundreds of washings in harsh chemicals associated with dry cleaning, temperatures reaching up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for drying or ironing, and the pressure of uniform pressing machines.

TagMaster automates train identification in Chinese workshops

TagMaster, a producer of RFID solutions for railway applications, has been chosen by Beijing Tielonghengtong Vehicle Equipment Co., Ltd. (BTVE) in China to provide RFID systems for automating the identification of high-speed trains in maintenance workshops across China.

Fujitsu's palm technology wins award

Frost & Sullivan has recognized the PalmSecure palm-vein authentication device from biometrics developer Fujitsu with its 2010 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation.

CEA-Leti demonstrates new communication technology for smart cards

French researcher CEA-Leti announced that it has demonstrated a contactless, high-speed interface for smart cards. Leti has created a prototype of a complete phase modulation system, a reader and a card, that now achieves speeds of 6.8 Mbit/s. Phase modulation’s spectral characteristics are superior to those of amplitude modulation, allowing considerably higher speeds than the current limit of 848 Kbit/s.

Fujitsu selected for DC exhibition

Fujitsu Frontech North America, a division of Japan-based biometrics and other technology developer Fujitsu, announced they have been selected along with 29 others to demonstrate their technology at the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition later this month.

Sarnoff's high throughput iris technology

Sarnoff Corp. aims to make iris technology easier to use without having to stop and look at a camera, says David Cheskis from the iris vendor. “We can do 30 people per minute without constraining them,” he says.
