New Biometric Time Clock Changes The Face of Time and Attendance; Innovative Device Reads Map of Human Hand to Clock Employees In-and-Out.Business/High Tech Editors PUYALLUP, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2000 Advanced Biometrics, Inc. (ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. ), today introduced ChronoLog(TM), a cost-effective biometric time clock Biometric time clocks are a class of employee time clock that detect a persons biological attributes to identify them. Examples of this are the hand print clock, which detects the overall attributes of a person's hand, fingerprint clock, and retina scanning clock. that promises to help restaurants, manufacturers and retailers save millions of dollars lost annually to employee time clock fraud. ChronoLog features a biometric hand analysis module and time recording device integrated into a single, robust package. To time stamp See timestamp. arrivals and departures, employees place their hand on the ChronoLog scanner. The biometric analysis module then uses infrared light Noun 1. infrared light - electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves infrared emission, infrared radiation, infrared to illuminate and analyze subcutaneous tissue subcutaneous tissue n. A layer of loose, irregular connective tissue immediately beneath the skin; it contains fat cells except in the auricles, eyelids, penis, and scrotum. and blood vessel blood vessel n. An elastic tubular channel, such as an artery, a vein, a sinus, or a capillary, through which the blood circulates. blood vessel(s), n the network of muscular tubes that carry blood. patterns that lie approximately three millimeters beneath the skin. ChronoLog matches these patterns against a secure database of previously scanned images to accurately identify the person recording time. Rather than punch a time card, employees will scan their hand to check in and out of work. ChronoLog is the first product to feature ABI's patented LiveGrip(TM) technology, a unique 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 method developed specifically for mainstream applications, such as monitoring time and attendance, providing online transaction security, controlling door-lock access and safeguarding firearms. ABI chose to target the time and attendance market because businesses have a standing need to account for employee work hours and ensure accurate compensation. "ChronoLog represents the first modern look at time and attendance technology since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution," said ABI's Chairman and Co-Founder Dwight Peterson. "Businesses lose millions annually due to inaccurate recording of employee time. ChronoLog is more than a product with a unique technology -- it's a cost-saving solution businesses cannot afford to overlook." To help market and distribute ChronoLog, ABI has teamed up with Time Equipment Company (www.timeequipment.com), a nationally recognized distributor of time and attendance equipment. Based in Bellevue, Wash., Time Equipment is a privately held business that has been successful in selling the latest equipment in time and attendance since 1928. "We anticipate tremendous interest in this technology," said Time Equipment President John Brondello. "Our sales agents are well versed Versed® Midazolam Pharmacology A preoperative sedative in applying advanced technology to solve complex time and attendance challenges. ChronoLog will be a potent new weapon to help eliminate time and attendance fraud."

The mouse/trackball device, scheduled for release in Winter 2000, also will enable parents to limit the Internet content available to their children. A planned biometric door handle will protect secured areas in homes and businesses, and is scheduled for release in 2001. In addition, ABI plans to develop a biometric gunlock that will prevent use of a firearm by unauthorized individuals. About Advanced Biometrics, Inc.
