Method and apparatus for user identification using pulsating light source

Pulsating light is used to penetrate a user's finger placed an input surface (which can be a fiber optic surface) of a video camera to avoid the effects of bloodflow from a normal human pulse on the quality of the image which would otherwise change the contrast of the image. The use of pulsating light of shorter durations than a typical human pulse provides an accurate image of a portion of a finger for identification. A retractable cover blocks the fiber optic input surface during a non-working mode, and allows access for identification during a working mode. A light source having a plurality of light emitting diodes provides light that diaphans a portion of the finger. Several successive frames of image signals allow for biometric detection and verification of a human pulse to ensure the finger is not a counterfeit.

Latch for a vehicle

A latch assembly includes a latch bolt having a power closure abutment, a first safety abutment and a closed abutment that is moveable between an open position, a first safety position and a closed position. The latch assembly includes a pawl including a pawl tooth having an engaged position defined by engagement between the pawl tooth and one of the first safety abutment and the closed abutment at which the pawl releaseably retains the latch bolt in one of the first safety position and the closed position, respectively, and a released position in which the latch bolt is free to move to the open position. The latch assembly also includes a closure element having a first abutment and a second abutment. The first abutment is releaseably engageable with the closure abutment. The closure element has a first position at which the closure element is disengaged from the closure abutment, a second position at which the first abutment of the closure element is engaged with the closure abutment and the latch bolt is in the first safety position, and a third position at which the first abutment of the closure element is engaged with the closure abutment and the latch bolt is in the closed position. When the closure element is in the first position and the latch bolt is in the first safety position, actuation of a power actuator causes the closure element to move through the second position to the third position, thereby closing the latch. During movement of the closure elements from the second position into the third position, the closure abutment is positioned generally between the first abutment and the second abutment.
