Biometric Solutions LLC Combines MBF310 Sweep Sensor with Proprietary
Algorithms to Provide Affordable, Secure and Convenient Security Storage
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Microelectronics
America, Inc. (FMA) announced today that the Fujitsu MBF310 fingerprint
Sweep Sensor(TM) IC has been designed into the new Fingerprint Safe from
Sentry(R) Group. Biometric Solutions LLC designed the Fingerprint Safe
using the Fujitsu MBF310 Sweep Sensor ICs and Biometric Solutions'
proprietary matching software to ensure maximum security for use in the
home and business locations.
The new safe and the Fujitsu MB310 Sweep Sensor will be displayed in
booth 2249 at the 2007 RSA Security Conference Expo at Moscone Center in
San Francisco, February 5-9.
The MBF310 features a small footprint and low power, and it can be
easily integrated into various safe product lines. The Sweep Sensor, which
was introduced in 2003, provides a 218 x 8 pixel array and a 2Kbyte FIFO
memory. Image resolution is 500 dpi; the sweep rate is 20cm per second (8
inches/sec). The sensor has a durable protective coating, high ESD
tolerance and an integrated, two-stage, 8-bit A/D converter to output the
8-bit grayscale image data directly from the sensor. Interfaces include
20MHz SPI and 8-bit MCU. Users gain access by using a fingerprint instead
of combination locks or keys.
"We selected the Fujitsu MBF310 fingerprint sensor to be paired with
our proprietary matching software because the sensor provides the
best-of-breed performance and easy interfacing to our algorithms," said
Matt Hall, vice president of Biometric Solutions LLC. "Fujitsu's ability to
deliver high volumes of the sensor in a timely manner has allowed for rapid
deployment and product acceptance."
Sentry Group is the world leader in residential and light-commercial
fire-resistant and security storage containers. The Sentry Fingerprint Safe
is currently being distributed exclusively by the COSTCO retail chain.
