Biometric Technology and its concern

Biometrics and The Future  Biometric Technology Biometric technologies generally refer to the use of technology to identify a person based on some aspect of their biology like; Airport security. Iris recognition has been used in a number of large airports for several years. ... Building Access. Fingerprint access for buildings is not new. ... Cars. It’s estimated that over 2 million cars in the UK use biometric technology in one form or another. ... Blood Banks. When it comes to giving blood; identity is pretty important. ... Schools.    Advantages of biometric authentication Changes to data protection laws, company policies, and greater risks posed by cybercriminals to information systems led to rapid advances and implementation of the technology for a variety of access control situations. With biometric solutions, governments, enterprises, and online services could safely provide access to systems with multi factor authentication that involves, Some types of biometric a...

OPTICAL FIBRES AND ITS USES

optical fiber and total internal reflection Optical fiber uses the optical principle of "total internal reflection"  to capture the light transmitted in   optical fiber and confine the light to the core of  the fiber. An optical fiber is comprised of a light-carrying core in the center, surrounded by a cladding that acts to traps light in the core Optical fiber communication is free from electromagnetic interference. Fiber optic fibers do not carry high voltages or current. Hence, they are safer than electrical cables. It consists of a very thin fiber of silica or glass or plastic of a high refractive index called the core. The core has a diameter of 10 μm to 100 μm, The critical angle in optics refers to  a specific angle of incidence.  Beyond this angle, the total internal reflection of light will occur. The trajectory of a ray of light will deviate from the normal path when it strikes a medium that has a lower refractive index. The effect of  total inter...
