Palm vein scanning is coming to Windows 10. Video.

Fujitsu has unveiled the latest unlocking method for Windows 10: palm vein recognition.

Fujitsu has been working on this kind of technology for more than a decade, but it's now partnered with Microsoft to offer palm vein scanning as part of the Windows Hello suite of security measures – that's the tech that lets you log into Windows 10 with your face or your fingerprint, if your computer has the necessary hardware.

And now, palm vein scanning joins the list, though note it's scanning veins rather than actual palms. The idea is that the underlying network of veins are so intricate and complex that they're unique to every user.

What's more, it's much more difficult to get a copy of someone's palm vein blueprint than it is to get a photo of someone's face, which might be enough to get through certain face unlock methods.

Fujitsu is promising that its laptop palm vein scanners, which are only a little larger than a postage stamp, are very fast and very accurate. All it takes is for users to hold their hands just above the scanner, and they're straight into Windows, no password required.

The technology works with a quick upward blast of infrared rays, which bounce back at different rates depending on whether veins are detected or not. The end result is a palm map where veins are shown as black lines, which the security embedded into Windows Hello can then use to verify a person's identity.

It's the deoxidized hemoglobin in the veins that makes them stand out to an infrared scan, and the blood needs to be pumping for it to work – so hackers won't be able to use a severed hand to log into someone else's Windows 10 computer.

A number of businesses are already making use of this PalmSecure technology, and it's now available in Windows 10 Pro laptops from Fujitsu as well. Or at least it is if you're the IT buyer at a company. There's no word on a consumer launch, but the technology is likely to eventually trickle down to the rest of us.

Fujitsu Extends "Choose Your Own Device" Line-up With New Generation LIFEBOOK.

News facts:

- Refresh for LIFEBOOK clamshell, 2-in-1, Ultrabook notebook models and STYLISTIC tablet with latest, 5th generation Intel vPro Core processor family

- Seven different notebooks now use a standard port replicator, providing a guaranteed remedy to the common headache of docking compatibility

Fujitsu today extended its popular LIFEBOOK® notebook and STYLISTIC® tablet range with new devices featuring the latest 5thgeneration Intel® Core® vPro® processor family. With this line-up, Fujitsu responds to the continuing trend of companies offering their workforce the opportunity to "choose your own device" that is right for their individual needs.

The new Fujitsu notebooks feature improved battery runtimes and deliver higher performance. New models to join the LIFEBOOK range include a classic clamshell, a 2-in-1 device and two Ultrabooks all offering optional features such as convenient touch screens plus must-have enterprise requirements like Trusted Platform Module and SmartCard readers. The STYLISTIC range of products also is expanded with a new 2-in-1 device.

Selected new LIFEBOOK models1 also are compatible with a standardized, universal docking station: The LIFEBOOK Family Port Replicator can now be used with eight2 different computing devices, including notebooks, Ultrabooks and 2-in-1 devices.

New models joining the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK and STYLISTIC line-up:

• The FUJITSU Tablet LIFEBOOK S935 – a 33.8 cm (13.3-inch) 2-in-1 device that combines the flexibility of a tablet with the power, long battery runtime and super-thin design of an Ultrabook
• The FUJITSU Tablet LIFEBOOK T725 – a smaller, 31.8 cm (12.5-inch) 2-in-1 device that fits the new docking station, designed to enable users to optimize their productivity through its modular bay concept, where the optical drive can be replaced with a second battery, a second hard drive or a weight-saving blank
• The FUJITSU Notebook LIFEBOOK U745 – a 35.6 cm (14-inch) slim and light Ultrabook that provides the best of both worlds for professionals craving optimum mobility and requiring full connectivity like a VGA output – also adding an additional security layer with PalmVein Sensor technology and compatibility with the new docking station
• The FUJITSU Tablet STYLISTIC Q775 – a 33.8 cm (13.3-inch) hybrid 2-in-1 provides the perfect balance of the mobility of a tablet and the productivity of a notebook when paired with the keyboard docking station. Advanced security features like the SmartCard or PalmVein Sensor technology create the ultimate device for a variety of vertical environments

New common port replicator for extra convenience and reduced TCO

By standardizing on a new common port replicator for notebooks and a common cradle for tablets3, users can enjoy the convenience of desktop computing when in the office – with their device plugged in to the main power supply and instantly connected to displays, Ethernet networks and external USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice and other accessories. Notebooks and tablets effortlessly click in to the dock – without any need to reboot – and undocking is a one-handed operation that simply requires the flick of a switch.

The new Fujitsu docking station standard lowers total cost of ownership (TCO), since it means a reduction in expenditure on computing hardware and the ability to reuse existing docks when notebooks reach the end of their lifecycle. Further, mobile workers benefit from simply being able to dock-and-work in hot-desk environments, without needing to buy or carry multiple cables and adaptors, or waste time plugging in multiple devices every time they change desks.

Marc Janssens, Executive Vice President, Platform Products and Retail at Fujitsu America, Inc., says: "Organizations today need to give their workforce more choice when it comes to business notebooks. At Fujitsu, we offer a wide range of notebooks and tablets to meet these diverse and varied user requirements. For example, this latest LIFEBOOK update gave us the chance to standardize docking stations, solving a small, but everyday frustration for our users. This is one of many examples of how Fujitsu truly listens to user feedback and designs its products with their experience in mind."

Pricing and availability

Pricing and availability varies according to specification and region.

Japan: Fujitsu launches the ARROWS Tab F-05E 10.1-inch tablet with NTT Docomo.

Japan: Fujitsu launches the ARROWS Tab F-05E 10.1-inch tablet with NTT Docomo.

Fujitsu has announced the immediate availability of its new ARROWS Tab F-05E 10.1-inch tablet. Unfortunately for most of us, the slim, water- and dust-resistant, better-than-HD resolution Android 4.0 mobile computing unit is being released through NTT Docomo in Japan only.

Similar in many ways to the company's Stylistic M532, which was released in the U.S. in October, the ARROWS Tab F-05E also benefits from 32 GB of onboard storage with a microSD card for expansion, an HDMI interface for connection to a big screen TV, 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, and built-in stereo speakers. It's powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, too, but runs at 1.7 GHz and has a fifth low-power core that can kick in when running less demanding apps. 

The 9.9 mm thick F-05E features a 10.1-inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution display panel, is the first Japanese tablet to be supplied with Dolby Digital Plus audio technology, and has been treated to a whopping 10,080 mAh battery that's compatible with high speed chargers. It's also been sealed against water and dust penetration to IPX5/8 standards.

The ICS tablet comes with a new switch-enabled smart fingerprint sensor for security-conscious enterprise users, and a Family Mode feature which allows users to switch to a home screen configuration that best suits individual needs and abilities.

There's also an enhanced version of Fujitsu's Human-Centric Engine that's capable of tailoring the tablet experience to the age of the user. It can customize the screen's color balance, for instance, to compensate for a decline in color sensitivity that comes with advancing years. Additionally, Clear Touch technology is reported to make touch-based operations a little more obvious.

Completing the tech specs checklist are 2 GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, support for Docomo LTE Xi high speed connectivity, the ability to wirelessly connect to DLNA-compliant devices, and an 8.1-megapixel rear-facing camera with an Exmor RS for mobile CMOS image sensor.

Toshiba exits Fujitsu handsets Joint Venture.

Toshiba today confirmed long-standing speculation that it is exiting its Japanese mobile handset joint-venture with Fujitsu, by transferring its 19.9 percent stake in the venture to Fujitsu.

Fujitsu has increased its stake from 80.1 percent to 100 percent as a result of the deal and is expected integrate the subsidiary with its existing mobile devices business. Financial terms were not disclosed. 

Formed in October 2010 as a consolidated subsidiary of the Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications will now be renamed Fujitsu Mobile Communications and will become wholly-owned by its parent.

The JV has approximately 300 employees and a market cap of around JPY450 million (US$5.4 million).

Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile mainly builds 3G devices for Japan’s second-placed operator, KDDI, but had struggled to build market share in the crowded Japanese handsets market.

For Toshiba, the JV was seen as an attempt to shore up losses in its former own-branded handset operations by letting Fujitsu effectively oversee its mobile business.

LTE products:NTT Docomo,Fujitsu,Fujitsu Semiconductor,NEC,Panasonic and Samsung in joint venture.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

NTT DOCOMO has reached a basic agreement with five companies to establish a fabless joint venture company by the end of March 2012 to develop and sell semiconductor products for mobile devices. The joint venture company will focus on developing products for LTE and LTE-Advanced mobile communication standards.

Companies in joint venture are Fujitsu Ltd., Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd., NEC Corporation, Panasonic Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. 

The joint venture company, leveraging the six investing companies’ strong backgrounds in cellular communication technology and vast experience in application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) design and foundry manufacturing, will develop feature-rich, small-size, low-power-consumption semiconductor products equipped with modem functionality. The products will be sold in markets globally.

The envisioned joint venture company will be formed once all parties agree on the details, which are now being worked out through consultation. Following the basic agreement, and as part of preparing to form the joint venture company, DOCOMO plans to invest 450 million Japanese yen, or about 5.8 million USD, to establish a wholly owned subsidiary, called Communication Platform Planning Co., Ltd. and headed by CEO Mitsunobu Komori, concurrently an executive vice president and Chief Technical Officer of DOCOMO, by the middle of January.

3Q11: Fujitsu to launch 7-inch Android tablet PC.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

Japan-based notebook brand Fujitsu has recently launched its self-developed 10.1-inch LifeBook TH40/D tablet PC featuring Windows 7 in Japan, the US and Europe, and the company is already prepared to launch a 7-inch model featuring Android in the third quarter, according to Fujitsu Taiwan.

The company pointed out that the 7-inch Android-based tablet PC will target mainly the consumer market, unlike the LifeBook TH40/D, which is aiming for the enterprise market. 

 The 7-inch model is expected to adopt the latest Android 3.1 and will be priced at about NT$10,000-20,000 (US$347-694). In order to offer such a price level, the company will outsource production of the device to Taiwan-based ODMs, which the company declined to reveal in any detail.

As for its 10.1-inch LifeBook TH40/D, the company plans to add support for a stylus and 3.5G module in the future and when Fujitsu launches the LifeBook TH40/D in Taiwan, the model will already equip both features and be priced at above NT$30,000.

Meanwhile, Fujitsu has announced its new LifeBook S-series notebooks and 12-inch LifeBook P-series notebooks with all models made at the company's plants in Japan and priced in between NT$43,800-73,800.
