| 20110141456 | FINGERPRINT IMAGING SYSTEM - A fingerprint imaging system configured to capture an image of a friction ridge pattern of a subject (e.g., a fingerprint, a palm print, a hand print, a footprint, etc.). The system may include one or more components that reduce the impact of ambient light on the performance of the system. In some implementations, the system may reduce the impact of ambient light without requiring additional power (e.g., to generate an increased amount of radiation) and without including “external” hoods and/or covers designed to block ambient light prior to the ambient light entering system. Instead, the system may reduce the impact of ambient light on performance by blocking ambient light internally within the system along an optical path of radiation used to electronically capture an image of the friction ridge pattern. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100289886 | LOW POWER FINGERPRINT CAPTURE SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD - The present invention provides a large format fingerprint capture apparatus, system and method that is low power, compact, and lightweight and has a platen area greater than 3.0 square inches. The present system is typically powered, controlled, and exchanges data over a single data/control/power connection to a host PC, e.g., a desk top computer, PDA, or laptop computer although the system can also be used in a wireless fashion with a power subsystem so no physical connections are required. In a preferred embodiment the large format fingerprint device is directly connected to a completely disconnected portable PC, such as a laptop having only a battery power source. The primary system components of the present invention combine to minimize power, size and weight and, thus, enhance portability and battery life. The system typically includes a light source, a prism, a camera (including the lens), and a case. Optional elements comprise holographic elements such as gratings and holographic optical elements (HOEs), a battery subsystem, magnetic stripe reader, barcode reader, platen heater, platen blower, and mirrors to divert the image beam. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100284574 | System and method for collecting DNA and fingerprints - A system and method is provided that simultaneously or consecutively collects DNA samples and ridge and valley signatures from the same subject during the same collection window that adds value to forensic data collection processes. The collection of the DNA samples and ridge and valley signatures occur during the same collection window to assured the DNA sample and ridge and valley signatures identify the same individual. | 11-11-2010 |
