Publication number: 20150310250Abstract: The present invention provides a large format fingerprint capture apparatus, system and method that is low power, compact, and lightweight and has a platen area greater than 3.0 square inches. The present system is typically powered, controlled, and exchanges data over a single data/control/power connection to a host PC, e.g., a desk top computer, PDA, or laptop computer although the system can also be used in a wireless fashion with a power subsystem so no physical connections are required. The system typically includes a light source, a prism, a camera (including the lens), and a case. Optional elements comprise holographic elements such as gratings and holographic optical elements (HOEs), a battery subsystem, magnetic stripe reader, barcode reader, platen heater, platen blower, and mirrors to divert the image beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Richard FENRICH, Nicholas SALERNO, Jeremy HUTCHINS, Michael PEDIGO, Carl GAEBE

The present system is typically powered, controlled, and exchanges data over a single data/control/power connection to a host PC, e.g., a desk top computer, PDA, or laptop computer although the system can also be used in a wireless fashion with a power subsystem so no physical connections are required. In a preferred embodiment the large format fingerprint device is directly connected to a completely disconnected portable PC, such as a laptop having only a battery power source. The primary system components of the present invention combine to minimize power, size and weight and, thus, enhance portability and battery life. The system typically includes a light source, a prism, a camera (including the lens), and a case.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Identification International, Inc.Inventors: Richard Fenrich, Nicholas Salerno, Jeremy Hutchins, Michael Pedigo, Carl Gaebe

Publication number: 20080055586Abstract: A system and method is provided that simultaneously or consecutively collects DNA samples and ridge and valley signatures from the same subject during the same collection window that adds value to forensic data collection processes. The collection of the DNA samples and ridge and valley signatures occur during the same collection window to assured the DNA sample and ridge and valley signatures identify the same individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Inventors: Richard Fenrich, Jennifer Robertson, James Rancourt

Publication number: 20070058844Abstract: A software implemented system and method for algorithmic correction of systematic image distortions within fingerprint imaging systems. The system and method may implement a three dimensional geometric model of a fingerprint imaging system to discover where a configuration prescribed by a conceptual fingerprint imaging system and an actual configuration of a manufactured fingerprint imaging system differ. By describing this difference using the geometric model, images captured by the manufactured fingerprint imaging system can be rectified in operational use to generate rectified images with relatively low amounts of distortion present. Rectifying the images to remove distortion based on the geometric model, without physically adjusting and/or correcting the manufactured fingerprint imaging system or its components, may enable the fingerprint imaging system to be manufactured with relatively lower tolerances without degrading a precision of the images generated by the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventor: Richard Fenrich
