Atmel Corp. was recognized for its development of the FingerChip fingerprint sensor technology at the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Southeast Asia Industrial Technologies awards presentation. Frost & Sullivan based its selection for this award on Atmel’s patented fingerprint sensing technology and sensor solutions that enhances user experience with best-in-class false rejection performance and best durability. The Atmel FingerChip sensor utilizes a thermal-based technology, highly sensitive to the slightest variation in fingerprint topographies. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)

Gemalto has won the BearingPoint innovation management award – the Agile Innovation Award – for its think tank initiative Business Innovation Garage (BIG). BIG provides Gemalto’s 10,000 employees company-wide with a structured process to submit and manage any innovative ideas they have. Ideas covering range of fields – from communication, payment, transport, Internet access, and machine-to-machine application – are systematically challenged, audited, developed and eventually selectively turned into incubation cells. read more »VeriTeQ announced it has acquired the VeriChip implantable microchip and related technologies and Health Link Web-based personal health record (PHR) from Positive ID. VeriChip is the FDA-cleared RFID implantable microchip for humans and patient identification. read more »Fulcrum Biometrics has been given two separate awards for innovation at the Cygnus Law Enforcement Group’s Innovation Awards in Chicago at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference. read more »Atmel Corp. announced availability of an AVR microcontroller (MSU) with an RFID reader block and 16kBytes of in-system self-programmable flash. The Atmel ATA5505 is one of the industry’s first MCU that features full low-frequency (LF) RFID reader functionality within a single package, unlike others where the MCU and RFID reader are located in two different packages. This translates into customers being able to develop and manufacture small, low-cost reference PCBs for various reader types. read more »The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) wants to see a biometric scanning device that has Web-enabled communication and control that’s built on a publicly-available specification, reports Bank Info Security. To that end, it’s looking for proposals for such a device. read more »Frost and Sullivan released a white paper, A Best Practices Guide to Fingerprint Biometrics, that details challenges for identity and access management (IAM) solutions and how fingerprint biometrics can meet the needs of the industries. read more » |
