Publication number: 20080098471Abstract: An apparatus and method of modular manufacturing process for a transmitter, receiver and/or transceiver is disclosed. The modular process assembles an array of optoelectronic devices to an array header to form an optoelectronic array package. Once the optoelectronic array package is assembled, it is tested and verified the functionality and alignment between the optoelectronic devices and optical fibers. The optoelectronic array package is subsequently coupled to an optical lens array to form an array optical subassembly. After the array optical subassembly is tested, it is coupled to an optical fiber connector to form an optical module. The optical module is then tested to verify its functionality and alignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: TREK 2000 INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Chin Shyan Ooi, Lay Lim, Teng Poo, Henry Tan

Publication number: 20080049984Abstract: Apparatus and method for implementing biometrics-based authentication. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is embodied in a portable device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the portable device includes a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory coupled thereto, and a biometrics-based authentication module controlled by the microprocessor. Preferably, the biometrics technology used is fingerprint authentication technology. The authentication module is capable of registering a fingerprint upon first use of the portable device, storing an encoded version of the fingerprint in the non-volatile memory. Subsequently, the authentication module can read a person's fingerprint and reliably determine whether the fingerprint matches the registered fingerprint stored in the non-volatile memory. If a match is found, access to information in the non-volatile memory is granted to that person; otherwise, access is denied.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: TREK 2000 INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Teng Poo, Lay Lim
