Fingerprints on the Table by Connie Remlinger-Trounstine Pdf
"Through moving illustrations, the story of the Table is told from its construction in 1869 to its use at the White House by Presidents Ulysses S. Grant to Barack Obama as a Cabinet Room Table, a setting for the signing of important peace treaties, and as a presidential workspace. The author speculates on whether the presidents' children may have also left their fingerprints on this historic object over the years"--Publisher's description.

Fingerprints by Mark R. Hawthorne,Sharon L. Plotkin,Bracey-Ann Douglas Pdf
Fingerprints: Analysis and Understanding the Science, Second Edition is a thorough update of Mark Hawthorne’s classic written by two professionals with combined experience not only in crime scene investigations but also as court-recognized experts in latent print examination. Designed as a concise text to cover the fundamental techniques and principles of obtaining and analyzing latent fingerprint evidence, the book is laid out and written in an easy to understand format for those front-line professionals collecting and analyzing fingerprint evidence. Over time, the degree of sophistication and education on fingerprints and friction ridge analysis has increased. Ultimately, through scientific study by pioneers in the field, the composition of friction skin soon became evident: that it could be used as a unique identifier of individuals. Now, fingerprints and footprints as unique identifiers—and their use in criminal cases—have become commonplace and an essential component of criminal investigation with most cases involving some component of fingerprint evidence. Divided into two parts, the book begins with the basics of analysis, providing a brief history, systematic methods of identification, fingerprint pattern types and their associated terminologies and current classifications. The second part of the book discusses the identification and presentation of evidence in the courtroom, demonstrating both the traditional, manual method of lifting prints and the newer techniques for automated and live scans. Coverage provides instruction on searching and developing latent prints, storage, and comparison of prints. New to this edition are updated techniques on collecting and preserving fingerprint evidence—including packaging and maintaining chain of custody. More detailed documentation processes, and additional chemical and lifting techniques, are described including use of light sources, latent backing cards and lifting material, casting material, ten print cards, and the enhancement of prints in blood. A discussion of laboratory equipment and comparison tools, the addition of photography techniques, and recent courtroom challenges to fingerprint evidence is also presented. Fingerprints, Second Edition will provide a hands-on, fresh look at the most commonly utilized evidence found at crime scenes: fingerprints. The book will provide law enforcement, crime scene personnel and students just such an opportunity to easily understand and grasp the concepts, and relevant issues, associated with friction skin and fingerprint evidence.
Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions by Christophe Champod,Chris J. Lennard,Pierre Margot,Milutin Stoilovic Pdf
Since its publication, the first edition of Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions has become a classic in the field. This second edition is completely updated, focusing on the latest technology and techniques—including current detection procedures, applicable processing and analysis methods—all while incorporating the expansive growth of literature on the topic since the publication of the original edition. Forensic science has been challenged in recent years as a result of errors, courts and other scientists contesting verdicts, and changes of a fundamental nature related to previous claims of infallibility and absolute individualization. As such, these factors represent a fundamental change in the way training, identifying, and reporting should be conducted. This book addresses these questions with a clear viewpoint as to where the profession—and ridge skin identification in particular—must go and what efforts and research will help develop the field over the next several years. The second edition introduces several new topics, including Discussion of ACE-V and research results from ACE-V studies Computerized marking systems to help examiners produce reports New probabilistic models and decision theories about ridge skin evidence interpretation, introducing Bayesnet tools Fundamental understanding of ridge mark detection techniques, with the introduction of new aspects such as nanotechnology, immunology and hyperspectral imaging Overview of reagent preparation and application Chapters cover all aspects of the subject, including the formation of friction ridges on the skin, the deposition of latent marks, ridge skin mark identification, the detection and enhancement of such marks, as well the recording of fingerprint evidence. The book serves as an essential reference for practitioners working in the field of fingermark detection and identification, as well as legal and police professionals and anyone studying forensic science with a view to understanding current thoughts and challenges in dactyloscopy.
For many designers, creating things by hand is a reaction to too much computer-based design. Since the first Fingerprint was published, ideas that were once on the fringe have begun to thrive in the mainstream. From typography and illustration to book-making and film titles, elements of handcraft have soaked into everyday life. Fingerprint No. 2 reflects the evolution of those ideas. In this second volume, you’ll still find plenty of projects created entirely without the aid of computer technology. But you’ll also discover how designers are beginning to incorporate the two aesthetics—handmade and digital—in order to best communicate their message. A third, hybrid aesthetic is emerging, one that marries the technologies of the past and future into a vibrant, exciting present. Look inside to discover 133 projects and exclusive visual essays from leading designers, including Robynne Raye, Stefan Bucher and Christian Helms. These pieces of work prove that handmade elements are not only vital to excellent design, but often result in exceptional design. Listen for the pulse, which cannot be faked, forged, or falsified. Look for the finger print. It is the key to design’s success.
Matching Fingerprints by Computer by J. H. Wegstein,J. F. Rafferty,Walter J. Pencak Pdf
A procedure is described fordetermining whether two fingerprint impressions were made by the same finger. The procedure uses the X and Y coordinates and the individual directions of the minutiae (ridge endings and bifurcations).The identity of two impressions is established by matching a constellation or group of minutiae in one impression with a corresponding constellation in the other impression in terms of the relative distances and relative angles of the minutiae.

Multipath Exploitation for Emitter Localization using Ray-Tracing Fingerprints and Machine Learning by Marcelo Nogueira de Sousa Pdf
The precise localization of radio frequency (RF) transmitters in outdoor environments has been an important research topic in various fields for several years. Nowadays, the functionalities of many electronic devices are based on the position data of a radiofrequency transmitter using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Spatially separated sensor scan measure the signal from the transmitter and estimate its location using parameters such as Time Of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA), Received Signal Strength (RSS) or Direction Of Arrival (DOA). However, certain obstacles in the environment can cause reflection, diffraction, or scattering of the signal. This so called multipath effect affects the measurements for the precise location of the transmitter. Previous studies have discarded multipath information and have not considered it valuable for locating the transmitter. Some studies used ray tracing (RT) to create position fingerprints, without reference measurements, in a simulated scenario. Others tested this concept with real measurement data, but this proved to be a more cumbersome method due to practical problems in the outdoor environment. This thesis exploits the concept of Channel Impulse Response (CIR) to address the problem of precision in outdoor localization environments affected by multipath. The study aims to fill the research gap by combining multipath information from simulation with real measurements in a machine learning framework. The research question was whether the localization could be improved by combining real measurements with simulations. We propose a method that uses the multipath fingerprint information from RT simulation with reference transmitters to improve the location estimation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we implemented a TDoA location system enhanced with multipath fingerprints in an outdoor scenario. This thesis investigated suburban and rural areas using well-defined reflective components to characterize the localization multipath pattern. The results confirm the possibility of using multipath effects with real measurements to enhance the localization in outdoor situations. Instead of rejecting the multipath information, we can use them as an additional source of information.
