Fingerprint board isn't fooled by phoney fingers
Parvus Corp is developing modular fingerprint identification hardware for embedded computer applications in co-operation with Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA).
The new software support package is available for both Parvus' single- and dual-channel MIL-STD-1553 communication interfaces, which are designed for a wide array of military electronics applications using MIL-STD-1553B multiplexed serial databus designs.
Parvus' SpacePC single board computers or other PC/104 form factor processors can be used with these dual-redundant 1553 communication protocol cards to access and configure the 1553 databus for all three modes of 1553 operation: remote terminal (RT) mode, bus control (BC) mode, or monitor terminal (MT).
Satisfying all requirements of MIL-STD-1553B Notice II, these PC/104 modules are built around the Aeroflex UTMC's Summit 1553 processor, which offers automatic message handling, message status, general status polling and interrupt capability.
This register-based interface architecture provides four or eight 16bit register locations for complete access to interface functions through PC/104 I/O space.
Both 1553 interface cards are extended-temperature rated (-40 to +85C) and specifically designed for army, navy, air force and space agency applications including aeroplanes, tanks, missiles, satellites, and helicopters to process data for navigation and altitude, weapon status indications, target tracks and electronic warfare lines.
Pricing starts at $1680 each in volume orders of 100-plus units for the single-channel version, which includes an NE2000-Plus compliant Ethernet controller.
The dual-channel model is priced at $3080 each in 100-unit volume.
