Face Recognition & Media Analysis in the Cloud Available to UK Law Enforcement and Other Government Agencies on GCloud Cloudstore

LONDON, May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Face Recognition and other detection technologies in a Government Cloud. Bulk media processing (ie body worn video) for UK Gov, Police and Intelligence. "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS) model ensures optimal purchasing flexibility. Now available in the UK GCloud Cloudstore. Provides an "Order of Magnitude" efficiency gain. Already proven with US Federal Agencies. Identity E2E and Allevate Limited today announced the Cloud-hosted availability of MXSERVER to improve the efficiency of police and intelligence operations in combatting organised crime, terrorist activities and civil unrest. As trained investigators can now spend a fraction of the amount of time repetitively watching significant volumes of media, they are freed to intelligently apply their skills to other tasks and demands where they are best suited.

Peter Wales from Identity E2E states "Our security services are faced with a relentless increase in digital media -- from police body worn video, online sources such as Facebook and YouTube, confiscated phones and computers and, increasingly, 'crowd-sourced' from members of the public." He continues "Until now, there has been no easy and cost-effective way to access the intelligence this media contains. Experienced and expensive human capital has been assigned the rote task of watching countless hours of video in the hope of finding useful information."

MXSERVER, from Tygart Technology, processes vast amounts of textual, video and photo collections quickly - automatically discovering, grouping and extracting segments depicting people. Using face recognition technology, this solution searches media archives to find other assets which depict individuals of interest. It also indexes the digital media to enable it to be efficiently searched using a photograph of a face, previewed and analysed via an intuitive web-based user interface. Results become available in minutes rather than hours or days because the digital media files are processed in parallel over a distributed cloud-architecture.

Allevate emphasizes that "MXSERVER delivers a Big Data solution for law-enforcement's growing video and photo assets. It provides a significantly enhanced identification capability that is quicker and more efficient than manually watching video."

Identity E2E and Allevate have chosen Skyscape, the service provider of choice for Assured Cloud Services to the UK Public Sector, to host the MXSERVER service. Accredited hosting environments up to Impact Level 3 can be made available to store and process digital media. Alternatively, clients may elect to host MXSERVER within their own secure facilities for dealing with the highly sensitive data.

From today, access to both the software and all hosting and storage services are available on the
G-Cloud v 'CloudStore' using an easy to calculate monthly service fee. The GCloud catalogue is open to all public sector clients and is designed to provide a simple streamlined process for buying ICT focused products and services as a commodity without having to invite tenders from suppliers.

To better understand how MXSERVER can help you to efficiently find actionable by exploiting the masses of raw media in your possession, contact Identity E2E on info@identityE2E.com or Allevate Limited at contact@allevate.com or watch a video on MXSERVER here: http://youtu.be/eojp27QdIxQ

Global Next Generation Biometric Market by Technology, Function, Application & by Geography - Forecasts & Analysis to 2020

DUBLIN, July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kg89vj/next_generation) has announced the addition of the "Next Generation Biometric Market by Technology, Function, Application & by Geography - Forecasts & Analysis 2014 - 2020" report to their offering.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769

Biometric technology is the verification of humans by their characteristics such as face, fingerprint, voice, iris, palm, signature, vein, and DNA. DNA and vein recognition are the latest and most advanced types of biometric authentication. Fingerprint, face, and iris recognition are commonly used in almost all the application areas. The demand for biometric technologies has increased manifolds in the recent years. The basic reason behind this is the rise in the number of terrorist activities, coupled with multiplicity of theft on the part of crucial data and information which have raised concerns regarding the national security. Today, biometric technologies are used in several verticals such as consumer electronics, government organizations, airports, corporations, and so on, where security remains the prime concern.

Biometric technology market can be categorized into different applications such as government, travel and immigration, banking and finance, consumer electronics, home security, commercial security, and healthcare. The most common application areas in the field of biometric technology are government, banking, finance, travel and immigration, and defense.

Biometrics provides a high degree of security and convenience which ensures confidentiality of personal information. This is superior to traditional passwords/PINs as these are easily guessed, forgotten, or copied; tokens can be stolen or misplaced. Biometric technology helps in preventing theft as the information is stored in the form of a digital record in the database which makes it highly impossible to reconstruct, decrypt, or manipulate. Biometric uses biological characteristics or features which are inseparable from a person, thus, reducing the threat of loss or theft.

This report describes the market trends, drivers, and challenges of the biometric technology market and forecasts the biometric technology market from 2014 to 2020, based on the applications of the biometric technology and geography. This report covers geographies such as North America, Europe, APAC, and ROW (Rest of the World). In the biometric technology market, fingerprint recognition contributes for the largest percentage share, followed by face and iris; whereas, `travel and immigration' is the major application, followed by government and defense. In geographic analysis, North America is the market leader, followed by Europe and APAC.

BEDFORD, Mass., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading supplier of biometrics software and services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $6.8 million, an increase of 53% compared to $4.4 million in the same quarter last year. Operating income before patent related income in the second quarter of 2014 was $1.4 million compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in revenue and operating income was driven by higher sales of software licenses, software maintenance, services, and hardware.

Income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2014 was $0.9 million compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. Net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Net income in the year ago quarter included a $158,000 loss from discontinued operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue increased 42% to $13.4 million, compared to $9.4 million in the same period a year ago. Operating income before patent related income for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was unchanged at $2.7 million.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. These results compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Net income in the year ago six month period included $780,000 of income from a patent arrangement less a $273,000 loss from discontinued operations.

Rick Moberg, Aware's co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer, said, "The second quarter was an eventful quarter for us in three respects. First, we were able to deliver solid operating earnings despite increased spending on new product development initiatives. Second, our engineering teams continued to make progress in the accuracy and scalability of our biometric matching technology which currently is offered through our NEXA product line. And thirdly, we announced that we were going to pay a $1.75 special cash dividend in July 2014. We hope to carry the momentum we saw in the first six months of 2014 into the second half of the year."

In the report, Gartner categorized BioCatch as one of several vendors to deliver passive biometric analysis and predicted, "By 2017, passive biometric analysis will become a standard feature of at least 30% of one-stop fraud detection solutions - up from less than 1% today." Passive, or transparent, biometrics is done behind the scenes and does not require the active participation of the user - making it completely frictionless.

BioCatch transparently authenticates visitors to banking and eCommerce sites by proactively collecting and analyzing over 400 bio-behavioral, cognitive and physiological parameters, including responses to subtle hidden challenges, thereby significantly reducing friction associated with risky transactions and identifying users exhibiting behaviors consistent with fraudsters.

"We are very pleased to be included in Gartner's respected Market Guide for Online Fraud Detection (OFD)," said BioCatch CEO and Founder Benny Rosenbaum. "BioCatch works hard to provide our banking and eCommerce customers with the very best biometric authentication and fraud prevention solution, and we believe inclusion in this report, as well as the recognition we received in 2013 as a Gartner Cool Vendor[ii], is a good indicator that we are providing the industry with an innovative and much-needed technology. "

The Market Guide defined passive biometric analysis as, "done 'behind the scenes' and is transparent or unknown to the user (unless an organization chooses to tell the user it is occurring). There is no user enrollment necessary. Over time, the system is trained on a user's biometric 'signature' so that it can compare the signature to a fraudster's on a blacklist, or to ongoing user behavior to determine whether the legitimate user is being impersonated. The use of passive voice recognition and passive gesture dynamics - that is, behavioral techniques in which user movements on a device are tracked and measured - have already proved to be very useful in the OFD market."

Largest International Meeting for the Study of Reproductive Biology Attracts Researchers from 36 Countries in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Grand Rapids is the host city for the 47th annual Society for the Study of Reproduction conference. (PRNewsFoto/Society for the Study of Reprodu)jwplayer.key="2kY/GKwZ2uQZmDlQ9VYArfZt2b4+KhHX3+DM4zisgtE=";GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- More than 800 researchers from over 36 countries are expected to attend the 47th annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) in Grand Rapids. This is the largest annual international meeting in the field of reproductive biology. The conference, held July 19-23 at Devos Place Convention Center, is dedicated to advancing the knowledge of the reproductive process in humans and animals, while also studying the impact of reproduction on the environment, wildlife biology and conservation, food production, human fertility and population growth.

"The Society for the Study of Reproduction chose Grand Rapids because of the pioneering research in women's heath being done at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, right here in our city," explains Asgi Fazleabas, Ph.D., local arrangements committee chair for the SSR.

This research has been made possible, in part, by nearly $8 million in national grants to Grand Rapids institutions last year. Researchers at MSU have used this funding to study benign and malignant gynecological diseases, which will help discover new treatments and better understanding of proper ovarian function for reproduction. This research has significant implications for the treatment of infertility in humans and farm animals, as well as developing better diagnoses and treatments for gynecological diseases.

"I hope our fellow citizens will be proud that scientists are coming to Grand Rapids from around the globe," says Fazleabas. "We are excited to welcome them to our city. Their research will lead to longer lives, improved health and better quality of life. Today, as a result of investments made, our city is playing a growing role in the scientific discoveries that will shape our future."

SSR President and Australian-native Jock K. Findlay, Ph.D, D.Sc, explains the meaning behind this year's meeting theme, Fertility: A Global Challenge. "The program reflects the importance of research in our field for the general public by highlighting the impact of research on reproduction on the environment, wildlife species, domesticated animals, human fertility, and population growth, as well as their interaction with one another."

Renowned international and national speakers will lecture on topics that include the latest research on human population growth and contraception, cloning, our genetic relationship to Neanderthals, animal agriculture and its importance in meeting the future needs of a growing human population, and how environmental and dietary exposures during pregnancy impacts future health of children.

A full schedule of events can be found on the conference website: http://www.ssr/org. More information regarding the host city can be found at the Experience Grand Rapids website, http://www.experiencegr.com.

Interviews and live shots are available to the media, along with photos and video b-roll. Please call Sarah at (616) 560-3627 to arrange an interview or to coordinate event coverage.

Millennium Laboratories Expands Pharmacogenetic Test to Help Clinicians Prescribe the Right Medicine at the Right Dose

Millennium PGT. (PRNewsFoto/Millennium Laboratories, LLC)Millennium Laboratories. (PRNewsFoto/Millennium Laboratories, LLC)jwplayer.key="2kY/GKwZ2uQZmDlQ9VYArfZt2b4+KhHX3+DM4zisgtE=";SAN DIEGO, July 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Millennium Laboratories announced today that it has expanded its pharmacogenetic test (Millennium PGTSM) to include seven additional genes. The expanded test gives clinicians additional, objective information, based on patients' own genetics to help determine their potential response to a broad list of medications commonly prescribed across four key therapeutic areas, including pain, mental health, addiction and cardiovascular therapy.

Millennium PGT now analyzes clinically relevant genetic variants for 11 genes related to medication response to help clinicians individualize prescribing decisions. The Millennium Analysis of Patient Phenotype (MAPP®) Report provides clinicians with evidence based and clinically actionable information to support medication decisions for over 30 commonly prescribed medications across 14 medication classes. The MAPP Report also includes information for 20 medications with pharmacogenetic information or specific recommendations related to use in their U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved labels.

"Millennium is providing clinical tools for improving care for all patients, and through investments in the newest technologies, we have delivered on that promise with our expanded PGT offering," said Chief Executive Officer, Brock Hardaway. "This milestone allows us to continue fulfilling a crucial need in health care, and offers additional tools that may help providers make more effective, individualized medication choices to get their patients on the path to wellness faster."

This saliva-based test helps clinicians determine, based on genetics, which medications are more likely to work for an individual patient, while helping them to avoid prescribing those more likely to cause adverse reactions. Millennium PGT helps health care providers minimize trial and error prescribing potentially shortening the time it takes for patients to feel better.

"It is very good to know it's the right drug, and it's very good to know that you're giving the right dose, and it's good to know that that patient is going to respond in the way you hope," said Dr. Manya Helman, family practice physician, Salem, Ore. "To be able to give the right drug, in the right dose, to right patient is exactly what our goal is."

In addition to the core offerings of CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and UGT2B15, this expansion will significantly broaden Millennium's PGT menu to include CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, as well as VKORC1, COMT, MTHFR and OPRM1. Paired with PGT ConsultSM, a mobile application that provides evidence-based clinical decision support to health care providers, Millennium PGT is helping clinicians optimize patient care.

About Millennium PGT
Millennium PGT is a laboratory developed pharmacogenetic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations associated with how patients may respond to many commonly prescribed medicines. Millennium PGT is a saliva based test that provides clinicians with objective information that may help them individualize medication treatment decisions.

Millennium PGT is paired with the MAPP® Report, which provides clinicians with actionable information, based on a patient's own genetics, about their potential response to over 30 medications prescribed across four key therapeutic areas: pain, mental health, addiction and cardiovascular therapy. Together with PGT Consult, a mobile application that provides evidence-based clinical decision support, the combination of tools helps clinicians individualize medications to their patient's unique genetics, maximizing the opportunity for successful outcomes.

About Millennium Laboratories
Millennium Laboratories, a leader in the science of medication monitoring and pharmacogenetics, is transforming the way health care professionals monitor and manage their patients' medication therapy. Through the use of advanced technology, supported by research and education, Millennium helps practitioners personalize care for patients.
