Applied Biometrics Unveils the World's Only Low-Cost, Portable Fingerprint Identification.


BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1999--

Applied Biometrics The biological identification of a person. Examples are face, iris and retinal patterns, hand geometry and voice. Increasingly built into laptop computers, fingerprint readers have become popular as a secure method for identification.  Products, Inc. announced today that they have revolutionized the biometrics market with their new Kryptic Pilot(tm) fingerprint fingerprint, an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb, used for identification because the arrangement of ridges in any fingerprint is thought to be unique and permanent with each person (no two persons having the same prints have ever been  identification product. Kryptic Pilot(tm), with its amazingly low power consumption, makes it capable of addressing the portable security needs of the E-Business, Access Control, Security, Personal Communications and Financial markets.

Kryptic Pilot(tm) attaches to 3Com's PalmPilot(tm) (models III and VII) and, for the first time, enables portable, wireless, fingerprint-secure applications. Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm) has broken the price barrier, while maintaining high performance and small size (3.25 x 3.0 x 0.9 inches).

Sure, other companies have been claiming "low cost" pricing, but the market is still waiting to see what they really deliver. And waiting, and waiting...

Well, with Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm), the wait is over! Kryptic Pilot(tm) is not just a fingerprint sensor A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. , as you might think from its small size and low cost. And, no expensive computer is required.

Applied Biometrics has stuffed ALL the electronics for fingerprint capture, database storage and identification inside their patent-pending Kryptic Pilot(tm). It is even capable of battery operation. Kryptic Pilot(tm) is the world's only fingerprint identification product that can make that claim!

With quantity pricing as low as $69, Applied Biometrics' very affordable Kryptic Pilot(tm) has broken the cost barrier that has been plaguing the biometrics market. Only Applied Biometrics can provide all of this technology, plus convenience, ease of use and a high level of non-transferable security, in a portable product; and at a price that's really affordable. Kryptic Pilot(tm) is the first in a family of fingerprint identification modules that are PC, Palm(tm), Win CE and Data Bus compatible.

Don't let Compaq's Fingerprint Identification unit, Digital Persona's U.are.U or similar products fool you! Their fingerprint identification products can't provide you with a low-cost or battery operation. Why? Because to use them, you'll require a Pentium computer.

Others, such as Biometric Identification Noun 1. biometric identification - the automatic identification of living individuals by using their physiological and behavioral characteristics; "negative identification can only be accomplished through biometric identification"; "if a pin or password is lost or  Inc.'s model#MV1100 or Mytec's Touchstone touchstone

Black, silica-containing stone used in assaying to determine the purity of gold and silver. The metal to be assayed is rubbed on the touchstone, and then a sample of metal of known purity is rubbed on the stone right next to it.
 Pro, use power-hungry, relatively expensive digital signal processing See DSP.

Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled).

It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive ) chips. We hope you have stock in a battery company if you're planning to try operating these on batteries for portable applications!

Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm) does not need a personal computer. Their patent-pending technology, with typical use, allows you to go one half year (6 months) without having to change the batteries. Kryptic products will remember all enrolled fingerprints Impressions or reproductions of the distinctive pattern of lines and grooves on the skin of human fingertips.

Fingerprints are reproduced by pressing a person's fingertips into ink and then onto a piece of paper.
, even when the batteries have been removed, for a century --- 100 years!
