Abstract: A device (1) for the data survey and check, comprising: a case; and means for detecting a tampering of such a case, to verify the protection and the reliability of the collected data, guarantees the reliability of said means even when the device (1) is off, because it comprises: means for the storage and/or the generation of a piece of information (22), electrically supplied by a battery (21) housed inside said case (2) through an electric circuit; and means for interrupting (26) the electric supply to said means for the storage and/or the generation of a piece of information, activated by the opening of said case (2).

Abstract: In a scanning process for optical reading strips (3), for instance according to the ICAO-MRTD standard, a precise reading is performed at the same time without requiring a complex scanning procedure through the steps of : scanning a plurality of distinct images (F) of the optical reading strip (3), so as they cover in overlapping an effective surface of the optical reading strip (3); performing an optical character recognition (OCR) for each of the images of said plurality, obtaining, for each of them, a set of characters (T); identifying, for each of said sets of characters (T), said index characters (Y); and identifying, in said sets of characters (T), those characters (F) which are present in more than one set of characters (T), performing accordingly a correct positioning of all the characters of said sets according to said positioning pattern.

Abstract: Device (1) for the taking of fingerprints, wherein the fingerprint is impressed on an impression surface (3) of a prism (5), allows to obtain of a predetermined image by indirect light, less sensitive to the presence of residues and dirt, and comprises a light source (15) laterally placed with respect to the taking surface (11) on which the fingerprint is impressed, one surface (12) adjacent to that on which the fingerprint is impressed being treated so as to have one layer (13) having a reduced reflectivity directed toward the inside of the prism (5).

Abstract: A device (1) for surveying and checking identification data, integrated with a communication system, and a related method not only allow the collection of a wide range of sensitive identification data, but also the processing thereof and the transmission thereof in an encrypted form, assigning to them precise time and position references, and employs: means for the digital taking of data, in particular visual and/or sound data; positioning means; means for measuring time; digital transmission means; a microprocessor (24); encryption means for sensitive data; means for identifying a device user; a software assigning a time and position reference to the visual and/or sound data and translating them in a encrypted form identifying the device user.

Abstract: A peripheral device for the acquisition of biometric and personal data comprises, in a single casing, a device for recognizing an operator and authorizing the use of the equipment; a first video camera for taking live pictures of a person requesting the document; a second video camera for the acquisition of personal characteristics shown on a card; a fingerprint reader; and a video source switch.

Abstract: Portable equipment for taking identification photographs, capable of being mounted on a wall or on the container used for carrying it, comprises a base, provided with a bracket for connection to a support frame and having a guide on which a sliding block can slide upwards and downwards, a motor unit fixed to the base for moving the sliding block on the guide, an upright fixed on the sliding block, a horizontally extending frame supported by the upright and in turn supporting sheet holders and corresponding vertical background sheets for a posing space, at least three digital video cameras aimed towards the posing space for simultaneously photographing the face of a subject from the front and in profile, and for recording the face in three instantaneous images in digital form.

Abstract: A surveillance and remote alarm system for persons subject to limitation of freedom of movement includes a fixed unit placed in the area within which the person can move and a personal bracelet element attached to the person subject to limitation of freedom of movement. The fixed unit is arranged to establish an electromagnetic connection with the personal element and a connection via a telephone line to an operations center. The fixed unit is equipped with a CPU associated with a fingerprint reader and a radio receiver arranged to interact with a similar radio transmitter fitted in the personal element together with a CPU that controls its operation. A sensor is provided to detect any interruption and/or anomalies in the connection between the fixed unit and the personal element and to send an alarm to the operations center.

Abstract: A portable apparatus for scientific identification of an individual comprises, in a container (1) in the form of a small suitcase, a computer which is compatible with operating systems intended to use programs for scientific identification. The computer is connected to a monitor (2) and to a keyboard (3); it is able to be connected to a printer which is external to the container, and is predisposed for remote connection to a processing center responsible for identification. The apparatus further comprises a fingerprint reader (4) connected to the computer, and a digital camera (5) connected to the computer.

Abstract: A variable volume file for documents, includes a folder, constituted by two flat parts and by a back, and a box, corresponding in shape and volume to the folder, having two larger bases and by three lateral surface faces. The folder and the box are made individually in two separate parts, which can be partly overlapped on one another in the width direction of the back. Each folder part includes a flat and a back wing; each box part includes one of the bases and lateral surface wings. Provided in the back wings of the folder and in the lateral surface wings of the box are structures for sliding engagement which interact with one another for the relative movement of one part in relation to the other and structures for mutual locking of the respective parts in prefixed positions.

Abstract: A foldable document file box with an adjustable volume which can be folded in a flat configuration for easier storage, having two half shells joined by releasable closure elements to permit adjustment of the volume defined by the half shells. The half shells are connected so that they can be placed in a flat configuration while remaining connected. Detent elements are provided to adjust the volume of the document file box in a stepped manner.
