Patent EP-1183766-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PRITCHARD JEFFREY A
IPC: G01R31/392
Filed: 2000-04-24
Abstract: A system for providing an accurate indication of the remaining life of a battery. The system includes a first circuit that provides a control signal (46). A second circuit employs an internal resisitance value of the battery (34) and a battery voltage to provide the indication of remaining battery life in response to the control signal. In a specific embodiment, the second circuit includes a third circuit (36) that measures the internal resistance of the battery in response to the control signal. The third circuit also includes a circuit for measuring an output current and an output voltage of the battery (34) at varying battery loads. The circuit for measuring an output current includes an ammeter (40) and a switching load (42). In a more specific embodiment, the switching load (42) is implemented as a transmitter that is selectively activated via the control signal. A fourth circuit, included in the second circuit, provides the indication of remaining battery life in response to the internal resistance. The fourth circuit also includes a circuit for selecting a battery discharge curve in accordance with the internal resistance. Software running on the first circuit generates the estimate based on the discharge curve, which is subsequently displayed via a display.

Abstract: The invention offers a technique for personal identification which reduces
the amount of computation required to match fingerprints, thereby shortening the
processing time, while simultaneously improving the precision of the match. A
press-type fingerprint sampler 1reads a 1 cm 2  area in the central portion of a
fingerprint which has been pressed flat, and supplies fingerprint information
representing a two-dimensional image of the fingerprint to a fingerprint match
processing device 2. At the fingerprint match processing device 2, a minutiae
extracting portion 21b extracts eight types of minutiae (starting points, end points,
bifurcation points, juncture points, dots, short lines, islands and scars) from the
fingerprint information and writes these into the memory portion 22 to register the
fingerprint. When matching the fingerprints, the fingerprints are similarly sampled
by the press-type fingerprint sampler 1 to extract the minutiae, which are then
supplied to a match computing portion 21c. Additionally, a control computation
processing portion 21a reads the minutiae of the registered fingerprint and supplies
them to a match computing portion 21c. As a result, the match computing portion
21c compares the minutiae of the sampled fingerprint and the minutiae of the
registered fingerprint to determine whether or not they are the same.
