How Apple could use a fingerprint scan to unlock your iPhone

Apple has stayed quiet ? as usual ? on what it?s been up to with AuthenTec since it acquired the mobile security company a year ago. But a patent filing offers some insight into what the two are partnering on: fingerprint sensors that can be embedded into displays.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday published a patent application attributed to Apple based on work done by AuthenTec?s co-founder, as noted by AppleInsider this morning. The patent is is for a chip that can be embedded in a mobile device that will sense fingerprints on a display as a way of authenticating a user before giving them access to a device.

Apple?s patent sounds like it will allow the chip to be inserted in the device, but gives Apple?s device engineers more room to work with than traditional biometric security solutions.?From the application:

When using a semiconductor fingerprint sensor, or integrated circuit fingerprint sensor, in a portable electronic device, for example, a mobile telephone, it may be desirable to locate the integrated circuit of the fingerprint sensor separately from the finger sensing region. Separating the finger sensing integrated circuit (IC) from the finger sensing area may be particularly advantageous when the finger sensing area is relatively thin and transparent so that it may be placed over the top of a display of the portable electronic device, and wherein the IC may be located in a nearby non-display region of the portable electronic device.

There?s been a lot of speculation that the next iPhone will have a fingerprint-sensing security feature. Much of that has been assuming the sensor would be under the home button. But being able to put it in a display could mean iOS?s traditional ?swipe to unlock? could seamlessly include another layer of security ? for an iPhone, an iPad, the touchpad of a MacBook ? or possibly even a future wearable device.

Of course, there?s the standard caveat for any Apple patent filing: the company files a lot of patents and it doesn?t necessarily mean the technology will make its way to Apple product some day. But in this case, it?s the first patent application to come out of Apple?s purchase of AuthenTec. We know the two companies were working on a project together even before the acquisition, and this is a good indication of the direction the two are going in.

Social Media Helps Pin Down Source of Foodborne ... - Health.com

July 18, 2013

THURSDAY, July 18 (HealthDay News) ? Social media played an important role in helping identify the source of a foodborne strep throat outbreak among people who attended a Minnesota high school dance team banquet, a case report says.

Of the 63 people who attended the banquet, 18 developed strep throat less than three days later. When multiple posts appeared on the dance team?s Facebook page about ill team members and relatives, a parent got in touch with the state health department.

Health officials interviewed about 100 people by telephone, including those who attended the banquet, people in the homes of attendees and those who did not attend but ate banquet leftovers.

Investigators also conducted DNA analysis of strep bacteria samples taken from the throats of people who became ill. These steps narrowed the possible source of the outbreak to cooked pasta served at the banquet, according to the report published online July 18 in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

?We suspect cooked food was contaminated by respiratory droplets from a person who carried the strep bacteria in the throat when the food was cooling or reheating,? lead author Dr. Sarah Kemble, of the Minnesota Department of Health, said in a journal news release. ?The food probably was not kept hot or cold enough to stop bacterial growth.?

Both the parent who prepared the pasta and a child in the same household reported having strep throat three weeks before the banquet.

?Foodborne illness is not limited to diseases that cause vomiting and diarrhea,? Kemble noted.

The rapid communication possible among a large group of people using social media played an important role in the investigation. A more formalized use of social media for disease surveillance and outbreak investigations could benefit public health in some cases, the authors said.

More information

The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has more about strep throat.
