  • Publication number: 20030091219
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for rolled fingerprint capture is described. The start of a fingerprint roll is detected. A plurality of fingerprint image frames are captured. A centroid window corresponding to each of the plurality of captured fingerprint image frames is determined. Pixels of each determined centroid window are knitted into a composite fingerprint image. The end of the fingerprint roll is detected.

  • Patent number: 6468212
    Abstract: The virtual control user interface for an ultrasound processor includes a software driven display obtained from a memory unit in the ultrasound processor and displayed on a display monitor (part of the ultrasound processor) under control of a processor unit (which is also part of the ultrasound processor). The software driven display reveals images representative of hardware control configurations for other ultrasound processors. The images provided by the software driven display and displayed by on the display include: a plurality of gain control tactile user interfaces, a plurality of ultrasound image enhancement control tactile user interfaces and, at least one focused control tactile user interface. The software driven display has multiple menu levels for the display of the gain control images, the ultrasound images enhancement control images and the focused control image. The software driven display is also further configured to reveal images of more than one ultrasound processor.

  • Publication number: 20020143580
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a software-based environment that uses data communication systems or networks, including the Internet and World Wide Web technologies, to implement a dosage calculator, which assists the clinician in managing patients receiving intrathecal therapy. Medical professionals require integrated data to manage their patients. Implantable drug pumps can supply robust data associated with the drug pump. The invention provides for a communications environment for clinicians, pharmacists, drug pump manufactures, and patients to assess not only the information supplied by an implantable drug pump, but also integrate data from other data sources.

  • Publication number: 20020138155
    Abstract: A suite of applications is provided for the administration of implantable medical devices, particularly implantable therapeutic substance infusion devices. The applications may be accessed over a public network, such as the Internet, and may be run using middleware. The applications provide for the administration of medical devices as they pertain to a particular patient, the ordering of therapeutic agents from participating third-party dispensaries, the scheduling of device maintenance and explant events, and the review of literature and educational materials pertaining to a particular medical device or class of devices.

  • Patent number: 6272562
    Abstract: An access control unit interface between a fingerprint scanner and a host processor is described. A daughter card is coupled between the fingerprint scanner, various access control peripherals, and the host processor. The host processor can be any commercially available processor. The daughter card handles real-time and interactive access control events. The daughter card may include an access control interface processor. The access control interface processor may include a display interface module, a keyboard module, a Wiegand interface module, a finger detect interface module, a LED interface module, and a serial communication module.

  • Patent number: 6263090
    Abstract: A code reader incorporated into a fingerprint scanner for viewing of security items such as credit cards, bank cards, passports and the like and comparing embedded coding on the item to an individual's fingerprint. In this manner, the imaging plane can be used to view the security items in combination with scanning the fingerprint of the individual for comparison.

  • Patent number: 6178255
    Abstract: A method and apparatus whereby a fingerprint verifier has a mechanism to slide a prism over an imaged area of a camera. The position of the prism being determined by a binary absolute linear code on a sliding mechanism imaged by the same camera at the side of the fingerprint wherein the images are knitted together to simulate a large CCD.

  • Patent number: 6111977
    Abstract: A portable fingerprint recognition transmitter that is compact, being less than the size of a cigarette pack, allowing the fingerprint recognition transmitter to be carried by an individual in a pocket or purse. The fingerprint recognition transmitter operates to take the image of the fingerprint and formulates a fingerprint image capable of transmitting through infrared or radio frequency to a receiver having previously stored fingerprint images so as to cause a comparison between the image taken and the image stored for purposes of unlocking a security area.
