Futronic Launches FS90 USB 2.0 Mini Fingerprint Scanner

[The Edge]

Futronic Technology Company Limited, a global provider of fingerprint recognition software and hardware products, announces the commercial release of FS90 USB2.0 Mini Fingerprint Scanner.

FS90 uses a specially designed optic system to deliver high quality image in a very small form factor. Its size is 57(L) x 29(W) x 27(H) mm and just slightly larger than one half of Futronic FS80 USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner but can capture a fingerprint image that has same quality as that of FS80. This size makes FS90 a perfect device for mobile application. Together with 0.3 meter USB cable, it is more convenient to be carried around by notebook PC users and work with PDA or mobile phone. FS90 can be used together with all Futronic standard software products, FinLogon Personal Edition (PE), FinLogon Enterprise Edition (EE), SDK and FAS.

With a 15x22mm finger scanning window and 300x440 pixel image resolutions, FS90 can capture an un-distorted fingerprint image into PC in 0.1 second. The illumination for finger scanning is automatically adjusted according to fingerprint's characteristics to optimize the quality of the captured image. The finger scanning window is a 13mm thick crown glass prism which is much more reliable and robust than semiconductor fingerprint sensor.

FS90 module is available for customers who want to integrate FS90 into their own products. It is same as FS90 but even smaller because it does not have plastic shell and USB cable. Its size is 43(L) x 24(W) x 25(H) mm and can be easily embedded into any target system.FS90 and its module are ready to work on popular operating systems as well as handheld devices. Futronic provides Application Programming Interface (API) to capture fingerprint image on Windows XP and Vista, Windows CE 5.0/6.0, Linux with kernel 2.4 or higher and MAC OS. After fingerprint image is captured, it can be processed, transferred, stored and matched with pre-stored data by any backend software that makes project implementation very flexible.

Hello , I like It when they their fs88 Finger reader Because Its finger scanning window is crown glass with a thickness of 14mm that resists scratches and other stress to ensure long term heavy duty usage. It provides a cost effective solution for border control, identity card, driver license, voter registration and any type of civilian AFIS applications that need superior finger image quality for accurate authentication.

Hello , Computerized fingerprint scanners have been a mainstay of spy thrillers for decades, but up until recently, they were pretty exotic technology in the real world. In the past few years, however, scanners have started popping up all over the place -- in police stations, high-security buildings and even on PC keyboards. You can pick up a personal USB fingerprint scanner for less than $100, and just like that, your computer's guarded by high-tech biometrics. Instead of, or in addition to, a password, you need your distinctive print to gain access.

Futronic's FS80 USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner uses advanced CMOS sensor technology and precise optical system to deliver high quality fingerprint image. It can capture an almost un-distorted raw fingerprint image into PC in 100ms and is good for any fingerprint recognition application.

The finger scanning window is a crown glass with a thickness of 14mm. It is much more reliable and robust compared to any semiconductor type fingerprint sensor.

The finger is illuminated by 4 infra-red LEDs during scanning and the light intensity is automatically adjusted according to scanning fingerprint's characteristics (wet, dry, blurred, etc) to optimize the quality of the captured fingerprint image.

Special electronic circuit is built into FS80 to do Live Finger Detection (LFD). With appropriate software in PC, user can select this LFD feature so that only live finger's fingerprint will be scanned into PC. Fake fingers made from silicone rubber, play-doh, etc, will be rejected. And the LFD feature is included in all Futronic's standard software.

Futronic provides USB drivers and API for FS80 to capture a raw fingerprint image on the following platforms:

• Windows XP/2003, 32 bit and 64 bit.
• Windows Vista/2008, 32 bit and 64 bit.
• Linux with kernel 2.4 or higher (for both x86 and ARM9)
• Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0 (for both x86 and ARM9)
• MAC OS
