Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc. BIS-WDS(TM) Prime Selected for Testing for Department of Homeland Security Rail Security Project.


ORLANDO, Fla. -- Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc. announces today that Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories, which is managed and operated by the Sandia Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation), is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory with two locations, one in Albuquerque, New  has selected the BIS-WDS(TM) Prime--the world's first and only full-motion security system to detect concealed weapons (Law) dangerous weapons so carried on the person as to be knowingly or willfully concealed from sight, - a practice forbidden by statute.<- in some states! ->

Brijot's full-motion millimeter wave imaging system affords myriad benefits for users. Sandia will test the system's effectiveness as part of an entry portal application; security operations personnel can image patrons from a distance to identify persons carrying large suspicious items, as well as the location of those items, and isolate

those individuals from the normal flow of transit passengers. User-definable minimum size thresholds eliminate the need for persons to empty pockets.

Brijot's system simultaneously identifies an unlimited number of objects in real-time and, using a sophisticated detection engine, superimposes indicator boxes over a full-motion video Video transmission that changes the image 30 frames per second (30 fps). Motion pictures are run at 24 fps, which is the minimum frequency required to eliminate the perception of moving frames and make the images appear visually fluid to the eye.  image to help operators identify the location of hidden objects. Further, BIS-WDS(TM) Prime has the capacity to integrate with other security devices to automatically lock-out individuals on whom the system detects suspicious objects without operator intervention before such individuals can cause harm to property or people.

A completely passive device that emits no radiation, the BIS-WDS(TM) Prime presents no medical hazard. In addition, the system eliminates profiling issues as the system does not discriminate against any person based on physical characteristics but, rather, identifies only those individuals carrying suspicious objects.
