Consumer Electronics Daily News 4 9 Monday, January 7, 2019 program under the Mobile ID FAP 20 category, and the template extraction and matching algorithms running on the device are NIST MINEX certified. A developer kit for the module is available and provides tools and technologies for developers and OEMs to rapidly and effi- ciently develop a potentially limitless variety of custom designed fingerprint biometric products. These tools include SecuGen's fingerprint algorithm SDK as well as the OpenSSL cryptographic libraries for additional security enhance- ment. "Bluetooth connectivity opens the opportunity to use SecuGen world class technology with a variety of Bluetooth enabled products and platforms," stated Dan Riley, SecuGen Vice President of Engineering. "We are very excited to have developed a premium Bluetooth OEM fingerprint solution that has been repeatedly asked for by our OEM part- ners. We are proud to surpass their expec- tations by offering a fully featured and versatile product with an embedded Linux environment and high-quality sen- sor, all at an exceedingly low cost." "We are always listening closely to the requirements of our OEM partners," added Won Lee, Chief Executive Officer of SecuGen. "We have never seen the SecuGen (Cont'd. from p. 4) level of demand that we are seeing for this product. SecuGen is truly excited to introduce the U20-ASF-BT. This break- through Bluetooth fingerprint module represents the culmination of many years of effort, technological innovation and commitment to delivering the world's best optical fingerprint readers and sen- sors." About SecuGen SecuGen is a leading provider of optical fingerprint recognition technology for physical and information security. For over 20 years, SecuGen has been a driv- ing force committed to developing inno- vative, high quality, rugged and price- performing products, including FBI-cer- tified fingerprint readers, sensors, bio- metric software and developer kits.

Our intent with this project is to realize low-cost, effective road maintenance and contribute to the future of autonomous driving. This can deliver numerous benefits to local gov- ernments and municipalities, as well as other stakeholders. 3: Brain NoHA – A Brain Navigator for Human Augmentation Einstein said: "The world as we have cre- ated it is a process of our thinking. It can- not be changed without changing our thinking." What if that change comes Murata (Cont'd. from p. 4) through understanding our thinking process better? Brain NoHA can achieve that. This sensor system detects brain sig- nals and provides real-time data that visualizes how people subconsciously use their brains. The information can be used to develop applications for a wide range of services, such as training or neu- romarketing services. The possibilities are truly limitless. So – are you ready to innovate, collabo- rate and envision a more connected world? Then Murata wants to talk to you.

DL: Leak testing can be applied to thou- sands of applications in any manufacturing industry with varying degrees of conse- quences. A leaky bottle cap, faucet or gas tank is an inconvenience, but a pacemaker that allows water in can have dire effects. CEDN: What is the basic principle of leak testing? DL: While ATEQ also makes mass flow, electrical and tracer gas leak testers, our primary form of testing is differential pressure decay air leak testing. This means a test part and reference part are both pressurized with compressed air and the amount the test part pressure drops over time signifies the leak rate. CEDN: What distinguishes ATEQ from other leak testing manufacturers? DL: Our instruments are fast and accu- rate because they are designed with a small internal volume, high quality mate- rials and unique valves and transducers that all reduce the test cycle time. With 42 locations around the world – six in North America – ATEQ is able to provide ATEQ (Cont'd. from p. 1) world class services with fast turnaround and customized support to customers worldwide. While some leak testing companies rely on flashy software with bells and whistles to sell instruments, ATEQ has always been focused on providing the most advanced hardware technologies to provide honest, reliable results. Our Application Engineers work hand-in- hand with customers and expert machine builders to develop customized solutions for every project. CEDN: How has ATEQ become an industry leader? DL: Since Founder Jacques Mouchet built his first leak tester in 1975, ATEQ has experienced continuous growth in both its product lines and locations around the world. Our leak testers have been trusted by some of the biggest names in manufacturing, such as General Motors, Renault-Nissan, Aptar, Bosch, Valeo, BMW, Sony and L'Oréal. ATEQ has nine global ISO 17025 certified testing and calibration laboratories, which have also become an asset since not all leak testing man- ufacturers can boast about having an accredited lab.

The number of entries each year is astonishing because we are giving people the home of their dreams. CEDN: What are the benefits of partner- ing with Discovery for HGTV Smart Home 2019? AG: The biggest benefit is an increase in brand awareness. We work with sponsors who are endemic to the home and design category and are able to integrate their products directly into the home and fea- ture them throughout the build and beyond. For example, viewers can go to HGTV.com right now and shop the prod- ucts featured in last year's Smart Home, so the benefits really extend beyond the TV special and consumers are able to interact with brands directly. The combi- nation of the digital elements, of which there are many, and the TV specials give sponsors a dual platform advantage. And while lifts in brand awareness, favorabil- ity and consideration were demonstrated among those who consumed HGTV Smart Home online or on-air, those exposed to the campaign via digital and TV revealed the most significant increas- es. We also create custom content for sponsors as part of the program that they can then use on their own platforms. Finally, when people enter to win, and they are able to do so two times a day, HGTV (Cont'd. from p. 1) they are given the option to receive infor- mation from participating brands. So, we are giving sponsors direct leads to con- sumers that are converted into sales. And it works. CEDN: How has HGTV Smart Home evolved? AG: Obviously, as advancements in smart technology has evolved, so has HGTV Smart Home. But what I find to be incredible is how the program has continued to grow. The HGTV Smart Home began 11 years ago as HGTV Green Home. It was re-brand- ed to Smart Home in 2013 and has con- tinued to evolve and innovate since. More than 95 million people entered to win HGTV Smart Home 2018, compared to 87 million in 2017. In 2018, we generated 22 million video views across digital, social and video platforms and 3.7 million viewers. We are able to generate these amazing num- bers because we are constantly target- ing new audiences. We market directly to consumers who have not engaged with our past sweepstakes. In doing so, we are creating a new consumer base for our sponsors, while introducing new audiences into the HGTV franchise as a whole.
