Sagem Sécurité and Hitachi, the engineering and information technology giant will unveil the first ever multi-modal finger vein and fingerprint device at Biometrics 2009 in London, Finger VP. http://www.physorg.com/news175238082.html Technology Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:17:58 EST news175238082 Scientists from Maastricht University (Netherlands) have developed a method to look into the brain of a person and read out who has spoken to him or her and what was said. With the help of neuroimaging and data mining techniques the researchers mapped the brain activity associated with the recognition of speech sounds and voices. http://www.physorg.com/news145535708.html Medicine & Health Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:35:08 EST news145535708 Overworked crime scene investigators can take heart at the results of recent tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of new technologies that automate the manual portion of latent fingerprint identification. Prototype systems evaluated by NIST performed surprisingly well for a developing technology: half of the prototypes were accurate at least 80 percent of the time and one had a near perfect score. Automating the manual portion of the work frees up time for trained examiners to spend time on very difficult images that the software has little hope of processing. http://www.physorg.com/news159705001.html Technology Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:30:35 EST news159705001 Technology developed by the University of Warwick that can identify partial, distorted, scratched, smudged, or otherwise warped fingerprints in just a few seconds has just scored top marks in the world's two toughest technical fingerprint tests. The technology is also being rapidly taken up by the UK building trade who are delighted to have fingerprint technology which can cope with the often worn and ravaged builders' thumbprints. http://www.physorg.com/news175767970.html Technology Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:40:01 EST news175767970 University of Leicester experts have held discussions with military personnel in Afghanistan following the discovery of new technology to identify fingerprints on metal. http://www.physorg.com/news138969094.html Chemistry Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:31:34 EST news138969094 Fingerprints can reveal critical evidence, as well as an identity, with the use of a new technology developed at Purdue University that detects trace amounts of explosives, drugs or other materials left behind in the prints. http://www.physorg.com/news137336723.html Chemistry Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:05:23 EST news137336723 A fingerprint identification technology for use in Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards that offers improved protection from identity theft meets the standardized accuracy criteria for federal identification cards according to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. http://www.physorg.com/news126355836.html Technology Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:50:36 EST news126355836 (PhysOrg.com) -- 'Bullet fingerprinting' technology developed at the University of Leicester in collaboration with Northamptonshire Police is now being advanced in new ways. http://www.physorg.com/news166427660.html Chemistry Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:30:01 EST news166427660 Forensic scientists at the University of Leicester, working with Northamptonshire Police, have announced a major breakthrough in crime detection which could lead to hundreds of cold cases being reopened. http://www.physorg.com/news131610570.html Chemistry Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:29:30 EST news131610570 (PhysOrg.com) -- UK scientists have discovered a fingerprint'`developer' which can highlight invisible prints on almost any surface - and read the text of a letter just from the envelope it was sent in. http://www.physorg.com/news145517878.html Chemistry Mon, 10 Nov 2008 05:37:58 EST news145517878 (PhysOrg.com) -- When it comes to using climate models to assess the causes of the increased amount of moisture in the atmosphere, it doesn't much matter if one model is better than the other. http://www.physorg.com/news169145892.html Space & Earth Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:30:01 EST news169145892 (PhysOrg.com) -- The inventor of a revolutionary new forensic fingerprinting technique claims criminals who eat processed foods are more likely to be discovered by police through their fingerprint sweat corroding metal. http://www.physorg.com/news140762564.html Chemistry Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:42:44 EST news140762564 The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has awarded researchers at Virginia Tech a two-year, $854,907 grant to develop a quantitative approach to measuring and establishing a standard for "sufficiency" of information available in friction ridge (fingerprint) patterns. http://www.physorg.com/news178810066.html Technology Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:10:03 EST news178810066 Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have explained how certain key mutations occur in human lymphomas -a process that has, until now, remained a mystery. http://www.physorg.com/news148225516.html Biology Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:45:16 EST news148225516 With prices of gourmet coffee approaching sticker-shock levels, scientists in Illinois are reporting development of a method to `fingerprint` coffee to detect when corn has been mixed in to short-change customers.
