Presence Sensor Locks Computer When You Step Away


Having a computer that locks its screen after a few minutes of inactivity is always a good idea from a security standpoint, especially in offices where there is a lot of foot traffic. Even the five- or ten-minute activity timers that are set on most workstations aren’t really perfect solutions. While ideally in these situations we’d all be locking our screens manually when we get up, that doesn’t always happen. The only way to guarantee that this problem is solved is to use something like this automatic workstation locker.

The project is based around the LD2410 presence sensor, which is itself a small 24 GHz radar module paired with an ESP32 which simplifies the detection of objects and motion. [Enzo] paired one of these modules with a Seed Xiao nrf52840 development board to listen to the radar module and send the screen lock keyboard shortcut to the computer when it detects that the user has walked away from the machine. The only thing that [Enzo] wants to add is a blinking LED to let the user know when the device is about to timeout so that it doesn’t accidentally lock the machine when not needed.

One of the parts of this build that is a little bit glossed over is the fact that plenty of microcontroller platforms can send keystrokes to a computer even if they’re not themselves a USB keyboard. Even the Arduino Uno can do this, so by now this feature is fairly platform-agnostic. Still, you can use this to your advantage if you have the opposite problem from [Enzo] and need your computer to stay logged in no matter what.

Isorg’s FAP30 Optical Fingerprint Sensor Obtains FBI Certification


Isorg, a leader in organic photodetectors (OPDs) and large area image sensors, announces the FBI certification of Bio1Print30, a large-area optical fingerprint sensor for applications where enhanced mobile security and nomad ID authentication are key.

The Bio1Print30, a FAP30 (Fingerprint Acquisition Profile) device, whose core technology is compatible with smartphone displays, is certified as fulfilling the requirements for PIV (Personal Identity Validation) authentication and Mobile ID.

The FAP30 sensor is the second in Isorg’s family of organic-based modules for fingerprint scanning to qualify for deployment in government applications for biometric authentication, aimed at preventing unauthorized access to critical facilities or at border-crossings. It allows the display to capture a digital image of the entire fingerprint pattern, in one scan.

“As larger fingerprint sensors enhance security, Isorg is pleased to receive FBI certification of its FAP30 device. We are bringing to the security and ID market a large form factor OPD fingerprint sensor, which scales up the active area of the fingerprint scanner while maintaining the same high-resolution image,” said Dieter May, CEO of Isorg.

Expanding government use of biometrics to manage borders, in defense, screening employees, health care and security are among the market dynamics driving use of fingerprint sensors for biometric authentication.

The French police are also seeking mobile fingerprinting capacity, in part to collect biometric data of victims of crime, in order to differentiate it from other data, such as latent fingerprints found at the scene, according to a Biometric Summit 2022 report.

Isorg is the only manufacturer of organic-based fingerprint sensors to obtain FBI certification. The FAP30 sensor brings new and important advantages for mobile and nomad authentication:

• Ultra-thin (1.5mm), more than 30% slimmer than the earlier models, enabling easy ASIC integration.

• Resistant to intense indoor lighting and direct sunlight, enabling accuracy and reliability of use anywhere and anytime.

• Resistant to shocks and variations in temperature and hygrometry.

Isorg sees this second FBI certification also…

Ltd., Canon, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K, Panasonic Corporation, ON Semiconductor Corporation , STMicroelectronics N.V., SK Hynix, PixArt Imaging , Pixelplus, GalaxyCore Shanghai Ltd. Corporation, PMD Technologies AG, AMS AG

Ney Work, Dec. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As per the research report Image Sensor Market published by Reports Insights, the market is projected to reach USD 49.4 billion by the year 2030 from the value of USD 26.3 billion in 2022, Is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.2% during 2022-2030, propelled by augmented demand for technologically advanced smart devices and autonomous vehicles among consumers.

An image sensor, also known as imager, is the device that identifies and delivers the information which is used to form an image. The sensor converts the variable attenuation of light waves (or electromagnetic radiation) into the signals/minor bursts of current that transfer the information. The crucial function of the image sensor is to convert photons into electrons, and further into a digital value or voltage with the help of analog to digital converter (ADC).

Wearables, Body Sensor Networks, Smart Portable Devices


Currently, there is a need for an immediate answer to a problem. There are useful ways and tools to help with that. This has taken Wearables, Body Sensor Networks, and Smart Portable Devices from nothing to ubiquitous. It has no signs of stopping down and an ever-increasing social effect. This article will analyze each issue of Wearables, Body Sensor Networks, and Smart Portable Devices.

1. Wearables

It’s a little gadget that’s far more portable than a phone, and you can simply carry it on your person as an accessory. It is wearable, embedded in clothing, tattooed on the skin or implanted in the user’s body. Compared with mobile phones, it has many advantages, such as: lightweight and fast, low energy consumption, advanced interaction features, design simplification, etc.

It is a combination of an internet connection and a microprocessor. Therefore, you constantly receive real-time messages/notifications through it since it is connected to the Internet and immediately connects to mobiles and personal computers. It enables you to access data from anywhere.

Wearables are diverse and popular, such as fitness activity trackers, smartwatches, Bluetooth headsets, smartwatches, web-enabled glasses, virtual reality and augmented reality headsets.

Monitoring: monitoring chips with built-in GPS to monitor children and the elderly.

Smart tattoos contain flexible electronic sensors to help monitor muscle function, sleep disorders, and heart and brain activity. In addition, it can be used to authenticate data transmission to smartphones or scanners to speed up processing processes.

Safety wearables: used as casual wear. However, when there is a threat or danger, it will issue a warning, turn on a loud alarm, and send a notification (a pre-set message, a recorded voice message with the location of where the device is located with built-in GPS) to someone (friend, family, police, or someone in the ecosystem using the device).

Improve health: helps you keep track of your daily activities, such as how long you sleep, your heart rate, and the number of steps you take. From there, it will analyze trends and give advice on activities.

Smartwatches: it will be synced with your smartphone. It…
