| What is the basis of the technology employed by Iscon1000? |
|
Iscon1000 uses a proprietary infrared image analysis technology. Because the human body naturally radiates heat,
Iscon1000 scans for temperature differences on the body’s surface, or for temperature imbalances between the
body, clothes and any hidden objects. Because all objects radiate heat and resist temperature change differently,
Iscon1000’s image analysis technology is capable of detecting minute temperature differences of hidden objects
regardless of the organic or inorganic nature of the substance. Once the presence of an object is detected, the
subject may be held for further screening.
With infrared technology, temperatures a represented in shades. Cooler objects are black. Warmer objects are
white. And, infrared scanning technology is completely passive. Unlike other systems, it applies no external
radiation. It simply analyzes the surface of the body for temperature differences. |

|
| What substances and materials are the portal able to detect? |
|
| The nature of the technology allows the Iscon1000 to indirectly scan for a wide range of inorganic and organic
substances and materials under the most extreme cases of concealment. |
| |
|
| What size must an object be for effective detection? |
|
| Because the technology is looking for minute temperature differences between objects and the surface of the
human body rather than specific types of materials or substances, the size of the object typically is not relevant to
the system’s ability to successfully identify its presence. |

|
| Is Iscon1000 a stand-alone device, or designed to compliment other security measures? |
|
| Is Iscon1000 a stand-alone device, or designed to compliment other security measures?
Depending on the security concerns and throughput of a particular environment, Iscon can work as both a
stand-alone unit and as part of an integrated platform. |
|
|
| Is Iscon1000 capable of scanning shoes and hats? |
|
| The portal not capable of scanning shoes or hats. The unit scan area is from the next to ankles. If the capability to scan hats and shoes is a requirement, the unit must be used in conjunction additional systems. |
|
|
| How easily does Iscon1000 integrate with existing security applications and platforms? |
|
| Typically Iscon1000 integrates very seamlessly with existing or planned security and information systems. |
|
|
| How long is Iscon1000’s Screening Process? |
|
| Iscon1000 offers a variety of configuration options based on throughput needs. When optimized, the system is capable of reliable screening over 300 people per hour. Because not every application requires this throughput
volume, more basic configurations are available to minimize costs. |
|
|
| What kind of maintenance is required and how often? |
|
| Iscon1000 has been developed with very lean engineering. With few moving parts and no consumables (ie. Filters,etc…) Iscon1000 typically requires little in the way of maintenanceon an ongoing basis. |
|
|
|
| Can Iscon1000 be monitored remotely? |
|
| Iscon1000 is equipped with a state-of-the-art CPU that can be integrated with any existing network or IT systems. |
|
|
| Are operators in danger of over-exposure to radiation? |
|
| No. Iscon1000 uses no active radiation. Proprietary infrared image analysis is completely passive. It simply scans
the body for minute temperature differences between the skin’s surface and an object. |
