摘要:
A personal authentication method is provided for authenticating a user by cross-relation between an enrolled image and a verification image of biometric information of the user. Upon registration of the biometric information, the method generates a filter for scrambling the image and an inverse filter thereof, and applies the filter to the enrolled image generated from the biometric information to generate a registration template which is then stored to a memory. Upon authentication of the user, the method applies the inverse filter to the verification image generated from the biometric information collected from the user, and then verifies the identity of the user based on cross-relation between the verification image after application of the inverse filter and the registration template.

In the client, a feature quantity extraction unit extracts a feature quantity from biometric information of a user. A feature quantity conversion unit converts the feature quantity by a one-time parameter. In the first server, a parameter DB stores a parameter in association with the ID. A data generation unit generates data based on the parameter corresponding to the ID transmitted from the client. In the second server, a template DB stores a template to which the feature quantity of the biometric information of the user is converted by the parameter, in association with the ID. A template conversion unit generates a one-time template by converting the template corresponding to the ID transmitted from the first server. Then, a match determination unit compares the converted feature quantity transmitted from the client or the data transmitted from the first server with the one-time template to determine whether they match or not.

In an electronic flash unit, a voltage applying device is provided to apply a predetermined voltage to the gate of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), connected in series with a flash tube, for controlling the light-emission operation of the flash tube. The voltage applying device produces the predetermined voltage in response to the start of the operation of a DC high voltage power source. Thus, the voltage applying device applies a driving voltage to the gate of the IGBT without responding to a light-emission command signal. The IGBT enters a conduction standby state in response to the start of the operation of the DC high voltage power source, and is placed in a fully `on` state when a trigger circuit is operated by the light-emission command signal. The driving voltage can be applied to the gate in a very simple arrangement which does not require to respond to the trigger signal.

A printing apparatus includes a head which discharges color inks and into which clear ink that prevents the head from being clogged and white ink are selectively filled. A selection portion communicates either of a white or a clear ink container with the head. A controller executes a first switching from a second filled state where the head is filled with clear ink to a first filled state where the head is filled with white ink by shifting from a state where the clear ink container is communicated with the head to a state where the white ink container is communicated with the head. A second switching is executed from the first filled state to the second filled state by shifting from a state where the white ink container is communicated with the head to a state where the clear ink container is communicated with the head.
摘要:
At a registration time, a feature data array for registration is generated from biometric information acquired by a client, and a position correction template and a comparison template obtained by converting the feature data array for registration are registered in a server.At an authentication time, a feature data array for authentication is generated from biometric information acquired by the client, and converted feature data for position correction obtained by converting the feature data array for authentication is transmitted to the server. The server detects a position correction amount of the feature data array for authentication relative to the feature data array for registration using the position correction template and the converted feature data for position correction, and transmits the position correction amount to the client. The client corrects the feature data array for authentication using the position correction amount and transmits the converted feature data array for comparison to the server. The server calculates a distance between the comparison template and the converted feature data array for comparison and determines success or failure of the authentication on the basis of the distance.
摘要:
In a discharge lamp, at least one of two main electrodes disposed at both ends of the discharge lamp includes one main electrode that comprises a sintered metal member having a slope with respect to another main electrode. A tip of the slope is positioned within a space covered by a trigger electrode coated on an outer surface of the discharge lamp in a limited area with respect to the entire circumference of a bulb of the lamp. This structure allows the discharge lamp to emit light at a stable level constantly. An electronic flash device using this discharge lamp can emit the light precisely.
