Patent number: 9104322Abstract: The invention creates a method for enabling a terminal to determine an activated memory configuration of a storage medium that can be operated in the terminal. For this purpose an interruption and subsequent restoration of the contact existing at an interface of the storage medium between the storage medium and the terminal is—at least partly—simulated, wherein upon the simulation of the restoration or interruption of the contact the terminal is caused to determine the activated memory configuration of the storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: GIESECKE & DEVRIENT GMBHInventors: Armin Bartsch, Fabian Guter

Patent number: 8009881Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for recording and digitizing intensity profiles (IP) of the papillary structure of the skin with high intensity resolution using sensors S with low intensity resolution. For this purpose, a plurality of digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2) of an identical subarea e.g. of a fingerprint are recorded, whereby the continuous intensity domain (KI) of the fingerprint is scanned in different intensity resolutions, and/or different portions (A1, A2) of said continuous intensity domain (KI) are mapped to discrete intensity domains of the single digital image signals (DS, D1, DS2). By the pixelwise combination of all digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2), a digital fingerprint image signal (PS) is finally produced whose discrete intensity domain (DI) represents a larger portion of the continuous intensity domain (KI) of the fingerprint and/or has a higher resolution intensity than each single one of the digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2).Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2004Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Armin Bartsch, Elmar Stephan
