    The paper present a multimodal (multi biometrics) security system focusing on the implementation of fingerprint recognition and facial feature recognition to enhance the existing method of security using password or personal identification number (PIN). This project is operated through a personal computer where all the identification for fingerprint and facial feature are done by using specific software. Successful identification will send a signal through a serial communication circuit and open an application. In this project, the final application should be a cupboard that store and secure schedule II controlled drug in hospital. Due to some problem, the final application was replaced by using a light emitting diode (LED) simulation circuit

    Self-forces on extended bodies in electrodynamics

    In this paper, we study the bulk motion of a classical extended charge in flat spacetime. A formalism developed by W. G. Dixon is used to determine how the details of such a particle's internal structure influence its equations of motion. We place essentially no restrictions (other than boundedness) on the shape of the charge, and allow for inhomogeneity, internal currents, elasticity, and spin. Even if the angular momentum remains small, many such systems are found to be affected by large self-interaction effects beyond the standard Lorentz-Dirac force. These are particularly significant if the particle's charge density fails to be much greater than its 3-current density (or vice versa) in the center-of-mass frame. Additional terms also arise in the equations of motion if the dipole moment is too large, and when the `center-of-electromagnetic mass' is far from the `center-of-bare mass' (roughly speaking). These conditions are often quite restrictive. General equations of motion were also derived under the assumption that the particle can only interact with the radiative component of its self-field. These are much simpler than the equations derived using the full retarded self-field; as are the conditions required to recover the Lorentz-Dirac equation.Comment: 30 pages; significantly improved presentation; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

    Light emission by accelerated electric, toroidal and anapole dipolar sources

    Emission of electromagnetic radiation by accelerated particles with electric, toroidal and anapole dipole moments is analyzed. It is shown that ellipticity of the emitted light can be used to differentiate between electric and toroidal dipole sources, and that anapoles, elementary neutral non-radiating configurations, which consist of electric and toroidal dipoles, can emit light under uniform acceleration. The existence of non-radiating configurations in electrodynamics implies that it is impossible to fully determine the internal makeup of the emitter given only the distribution of the emitted light. Here we demonstrate that there is a loop-hole in this `inverse source problem'. Our results imply that there may be a whole range of new phenomena to be discovered by studying the electromagnetic response of matter under acceleration.Comment: Change from previous version. Further corrections to figure 1. Much more calculations in the main paper. Added a section on ellipticit
