Patent number: 11900712Abstract: A fingerprint image capture system comprises an electro-optical material which captures a static fingerprint image and an apparatus for converting the static fingerprint image into an electronic signal. The image capture system includes an electrode for contacting a finger, and a bias supply for creating an electric field where epidermal ridges contact the electro-optical material. A transistor array senses charge or optical density variations in the electro-optical material to create an electronic representation of the fingerprint image. An initialization electrode places the electro-optical material into a uniform condition prior to acquisition of the fingerprint image. A physical artifact of the fingerprint image can be archived by removing the electro-optical material from the system following the fingerprint image acquisition.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Integrated Biometrics, LLCInventors: Edward John Bawolek, Douglas E.

Patent number: 11710759Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods are disclosed for building a relief print generator with no bezel. An electrode layer having more than one electrode can be used in an electrode-based, electro-luminescence component of the relief print generator. The respective electrodes may be connected to power sources with different voltage phases. An electrical circuit can be created between a biometric object and more than one electrode in the electrode layer when the biometric object contacts a surface of the generator. The electro-luminescent component can be activated by electrical charge and emit light indicative of a relief print of the biometric object. A contact electrode outside the electrode layer may not be used, which may allow for the removal of a bezel from an example device.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Integrated Biometrics, LLCInventors: David A. Hardinger, Spencer R. Canizales, Sang Hoon Chae, Frederick Frye, Dong Hyuk Jang, Robert A. Kimball

Patent number: 10915771Abstract: A system for securing a fingerprint identification artifact comprises an electro-optical material which captures a static fingerprint image and an electrode array for encoding a security code onto the electro-optical material. The security code can be encrypted to prevent unauthorized reading and can further incorporate biometric data based upon the acquired fingerprint, an iris scan, or other attributes unique to an individual. The identification artifact so created can be removed from the system for archival or for use in verifying identity.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Integrated Biometrics, LLCInventors: Edward John Bawolek, Douglas E.
