20090074256 | Apparatus and methods for testing biometric equipment - This invention encompasses an apparatus and methods which enable the testing of fingerprint readers in an automated fashion. A test object representative of a fingerprint can be created from an electrically conducive silicone material. Due to the properties of this material, the same test object can be read by fingerprint sensors of various types. Once the test object is generated, it can be affixed to an automated apparatus thus allowing tests to be conducted in closed chambers, on an assembly line, or under other conditions that would be impossible or impractical were human fingers to be used. | 03-19-2009 |
