Ferrer Chapter 15 Biometric Application in Fuel Cells and Micro-Mixers 285 Chin-Tsan Wang Preface In the recent years, a number of recognition and authentication systems based on biometric measurements have been proposed. Algorithms and sensors have been developed to acquire and process many different biometric traits. Moreover, the biometric technology is being used in novel ways, with potential commercial and practical implications to our daily activities. The key objective of the book is to provide a collection of comprehensive references on some recent theoretical development as well as novel applications in biometrics. The topics covered in this book reflect well both aspects of development. They include biometric sample quality, privacy preserving and cancellable biometrics, contactless biometrics, novel and unconventional biometrics, and the technical challenges in implementing the technology in portable devices. The book consists of 15 chapters. It is divided into four sections, namely, biometric applications on mobile platforms, cancelable biometrics, biometric encryption, and other applications. Chapter 1 gives an overarching survey of existing implementation of biometric systems on mobile devices. Apart from the conventional biometrics, biomedical data such as blood pressure, ECG and heart beat signal are considered. The authors highlight the technical challenges that need to be overcome. Chapter 2 presents a biometric system based on hand geometry oriented to mobile devices. Chapter 3 exploits the recent advances in the biometric and heterogeneous wireless networks fields to provide an authentication platform that supports both physical and logical access management. Section 2 is a collection of four chapters on cancelable biometrics. Chapter 4 provides a comprehensive overview on privacy preserving biometrics, also the state of the art in this field and presents the main trends to be solved. In Chapter 5 the author proposes a new attack algorithm for fingerprint template protection which applies a fast polynomial reconstruction algorithm based on the consistency theorem. Also, the proposed attack method is evaluated, and compared with the known attack methods. Chapter 6 introduces the technology of contactless fingerprinting and explores its application. In chapter 7 the author proposes a novel method of cancelable biometric identification that combines biological data with the use of artifacts and is resistant to spoofing. X Preface Section 3 groups three biometric encryption applications. Chapter 8 proposes a user- specific biometric key with multimodal biometric for encryption. In Chapter 9, the authors apply a cryptography scheme known as the “Co-Z approach” to biometric systems. Chapter 10 presents a novel remote authentication scheme based on the secret-splitting concept for cloud computing applications. Finally, Section 4 groups a number of novel biometric applications. Chapter 11 provides a comprehensive review of existing research work that exploits electrocardiograms (ECGs) for human identification as well as addresses several important technical challenges arise from this application. Chapter 12 investigates new magnetic sensing technologies for use in biometrics. In Chapter 13, the authors study run-time reconfigurable hardware platforms and hardware-software co-design techniques for biometric systems. Embedded systems based on programmable logic devices such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are presented as case studies. Chapter 14 proposes a contactless biometric system based on the combination of hand geometry and palmprint using only low cost devices for medium security environments. The device uses infrared illumination and infrared camera in order to handle changing lighting conditions as well as complex background that contains surfaces and objects with skin-like colors. In Chapter 15 the biometric concept is applied to the fuel cells, microbial fuel cells and micromixer. The findings suggest that a novel flow slab design would be useful to improve Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) and can even be expanded to other types of cell, and the prototype will be useful in the design of a optimal biophysical passive micromixer and even show the feasibility and potential of biometric concept widely applied in biochemical, biological, chemical analysis, fuel cell and bioenergy.
