Abstract: A stand-off range or at-a-distance iris detection and tracking for iris recognition having a head/face/eye locator, a zoom-in iris capture mechanism and an iris recognition module. The system may obtain iris information of a subject with or without his or her knowledge or cooperation. This information may be sufficient for identification of the subject, verification of identity and/or storage in a database.

Abstract: A system includes an image sensing device that is configured to receive a digital image of a human hand, and a range sensing device that is configured to receive range data relating a distance from the range sensing device to a plurality of points on the human hand. The system uses the range data to generate a range map of the human hand, normalizes a pose of the image of the human hand using the range data and the image, extracts one or more features of the hand from the normalized pose, and stores the extracted features into a computer storage medium.

Abstract: A system using face and iris image capture for recognition of people. The system may have wide field-of-view, medium field-of-view and narrow field-of-view cameras to capture images of a scene of people, faces and irises for processing and recognition. Matching of the face and iris images with images of a database may be a basis for recognition and identification of a subject person.

Abstract: A locked medication container can be unlocked opened in response to a person's matching biometric characteristic and satisfaction of pre-established rules of access relating to day and time. One type of characteristic is a finger or thumb print. A communication can be sent to a remote site indicating that access was attempted by a specific person at a specific date and time and was successful or unsuccessful.

Abstract: A system having one or more devices for detection, surveillance and monitoring. Video images of scenes with persons from the devices may be processed and provided to a biometrics component for standoff biometric acquisition and matching. Various remote and internal databases may be resorted to for biometric matching. Matching results may go to the history component and the strategy and association component. The output of the latter component may be subject to behavior inference and analysis. The system may be interconnected with outside entities such as an access control system.

Abstract: A device for detecting the presence of human skin including an illuminator source for providing a first IR band and a second IR band. The first IR band is capable of being reflected from skin and the second IR band is capable of being absorbed by skin. A detector receives the first and second IR band after the bands have contacted the skin and provides a signal indicating the presence or absence of each of the first and second IR bands. A processing unit processes the signal and indicates the presence of skin when the first IR band is present and the second IR band is absent. The preferred first IR band is about 0.8 to about 1.4 ?m and the second IR band is about 1.4 to about 2.2 ?m. Preferably one illuminator interacts with two detectors, one for each of the two IR bands.

Abstract: A device for detecting the presence of human skin including an illuminator source for providing an IR band capable of being absorbed by skin. A detector receives the IR band after the band has contacted the skin and provides a signal indicating the presence or absence of the IR band energy. A processing unit processes the signal and indicates whether skin has been presented when the band is substantially reflected, indicating no skin, and when it is substantially absent, indicating skin present. The preferred IR band wavelength is about 1.4 to about 2.2 ?m.

Abstract: A monolithic integrated circuit device combines integrated heterostructure acoustic charge transport (HACT) devices and heterostructure insulated gate field effect transistor (HIGFET) devices in a single structure in which the HACT and HIGFET layers are grown in as a contiguous composite heterostructure.
