The wider use of fingerprint scanning technology in recent years has made it easier than ever for law enforcement officials to share information about criminals and quickly compare a suspect's fingerprint image with millions of similar imprints, according to a January report from the U.S. General Accounting Office. But it can still take small police departments that can't afford the electronic equipment more than five months to mail batches of fingerprint cards to state repositories, the report said.

03/22/2005 04:59 PM
David Pescovitz: Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have devised a new method to detect the chemical residue left behind by your fingertips. They used micro-X-ray fluorescence (MXRF) to reveal the sodium, potassium, chlorine, and other elements excreted in sweat and deposited in a fingerprint pattern. From Los Alamos News:
 Orgs Pa Newsbulletin Images FingerprintsThe technique has several advantages over traditional fingerprint detection methods that involve treating the suspect area with powders, liquids, or vapors in order to add color to the fingerprint so that it can be easily seen and photographed. Using this technique, known as contrast enhancement, it is sometimes difficult to detect fingerprints present on certain substances, such as multicolored backgrounds, fibrous papers and textiles, wood, leather, plastic, adhesives and human skin.

Since MXRF is noninvasive, a fingerprint analyzed by the method is left pristine for examination by other methods like DNA extraction.

Conflict between TopStyle and Microsoft
Fingerprint Reader
02/05/2005 09:08 PM

I've recently had a few reports of TopStyle generating an "access violation" error when it closes, and it looks like the problem is due to some sort of conflict with the software for Microsoft's new Fingerprint Reader.

If you're using a fingerprint reader and are experiencing this problem, rest assured that the error message is harmless - you can simply click OK to dismiss it. However, I do understand that it's annoying since it apparently happens every time you close TopStyle, so it is something that needs to be resolved. I've ordered a fingerprint reader so I can reproduce and hopefully fix the problem.

Update: Conflict between TopStyle and

03/14/2005 06:24 PM

Earlier this month I posted about a confl ict between Microsoft's Fingerprint reader and TopStyle which caused a harmless (but annoying) error message to appear every time TopStyle was closed.

Since my initial post, I've installed a Fingerprint Reader (cool toy, btw) and have been able to reproduce the problem. More importantly, I've located the line of code where the error occurs. Although I'm stumped as to why the Fingerprint Reader software is causing the problem, I do have a fix in place that appears to be working. I plan to keep running TopStyle with this fix for a few weeks to make sure it's reliable, and if all goes well I'll make it available to everyone who is experiencing the problem.
