Re: FaceIt lockout. Maybe the the reporter just wasn't himself that day. I was talking to one of my wife's relatives over the weekend who is getting a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence. He was down on facial recognition and felt finger recognition was the best technology.

Also, FYI, picked up IBD today and noticed upon Friday's close IDX was ranked 40th percentile in earnings, 56th percentile in relative strength, and "A" for accumulation. The top accumulation ranking is the most interesting, obviously, given the sine wave we've been charting. I think this spring is coiling.

John,
Is this IDX stuff or not???

The Providence Police Department AFIS system includes three NEC LS-21
live scan workstations. Installed in the Department's men's cellblock,
women's detention area, and Bureau of Criminal Identification, the LS-21
workstations capture fingerprint images electronically, thus yielding
sharper images for better fingerprint records. Electronic transmission
of the records can be initiated from the LS-21 units to the department's
central AFIS, with
future communication capability to the department's criminal history
database and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The department's AFIS also includes NEC's FMP-5 fingerprint matching
processor. The FMP-5 is designed to conduct high-speed matching with a
massive parallel processing architecture. The built-in NEC proprietary
matching algorithm achieves the highest accuracy rate available in the
industry. This processor's matching units are among the fastest in the
industry, each capable of conducting up to 3,200 fingerprint comparisons
per second. >>>
