Alpha Fox Systems Crystal Key is a non-clonable (i.e. non-forgeable) and unique physical optical ‘personal identification tag’ for mobile commerce (m-commerce) personal authentication, that the consumer carries with them on their key-ring, etc. When verifying personal identity whilst making an m-commerce transaction, the mobile phone application asks the consumer to hold the Crystal Key up to the phone camera which automatically takes a photograph of the Crystal Key tag and compares the image of the random crystal array/pattern in the tag with the image stored on a payment verification database for that consumer – hence providing a pass or fail decision. This either avoids or enhances the typing of information, passwords, PINs, etc., at the point of verification by the User – often suffering from ‘password overload’ and who may, as a result, write down their password, etc. – thereby increasing the vulnerability of such information. Hence it will help promote confidence in mobile commerce transactions. Audio analytic Audio Analytic produces software which automatically recognises sounds by means of computer analysis. The award winning technology has developed as a result of several years’ cutting edge research in sound recognition. Audio Analytic helps users to detect incidents or event that cannot be identified from video feeds alone via the use of the unique sounds that are associated with them. Audio Analytic’s technology is used to detect sounds such as smoke alarm, baby cry, glass break, elderly in need, etc. to enable alerts to home (or business) owners, helping them to react promptly and intelligently to incidents as soon as they happen. CeBIT 2014, 10th - 14th March, Hannover, Germany SME stand competition finalists announced Promotional Partners BlueOptima BlueOptima was created to EMPOWER developers, team leaders, and executives with insights that help achieve BETTER software development outcomes, FASTER, and at the LOWEST possible cost. We do this by providing revolutionary transparency on where you are investing your Coding Effort in the software development process. Deep technology, deep insights: At the core of the BlueOptima solution is it’s proprietary Coding Effort Analytics™ technology, initially developed through Cambridge University research in a project carried out across the Judge Business School, The Computer Laboratory, and the St John’s Innovation Centre. A decade of Research & Development has culminated in BlueOptima’s highly sophisticated ability to quantify, benchmark, and analyse Coding Effort based on source code change. Cascoda At present, radio devices for smart living are unable to achieve whole-house coverage without the need of expensive power-hungry radio-frequency power amplifiers. Cascoda has developed a new wireless transceiver technology which solves this problem. The key benefit of Cascoda’s technology is a doubling of area coverage for no penalty in power consumption. As such, Cascoda’s devices can operate from batteries and/or free ambient energy sources, where others cannot. Applications include smart metering, home, industrial & building automation as well as machine-to-machine communications. This semiconductor radio technology has been successfully mass-manufactured, and Cascoda is using CeBIT as its global launch-event. The benefit to the customer are lower equipment cost, since longer range means no need for external power amplifiers; lower installation cost, since higher-quality radio reception means that unskilled technicians and consumers can install; and lower maintenance cost, since devices can operate from inexpensive batteries or from ambient energy sources.

Our technology offers a unique value compared to the previously existing document analysis software in its ability to offer extremely high levels of automation with little or no skilled configuration. As this technology forms the sole focus of a small company, we are also able to offer our products at a much lower cost than the existing big players, making the technology available to a far wider market.

Skin Analytics Melanoma incidence has doubled in last decade around the world and while 95% of cases are survivable if caught early, this drops to 10% as the cancer spreads. Research suggests that change is the most sensitive indicator of melanoma and we focus on helping people find changing moles earlier so they can get the appropriate medical attention. This turns is important as research has shown that people wait up to 8-12 months before going to have a suspicious lesion seen to, which represents 90% of the total treatment delay. This is what we want to improve. At Skin Analytics we believe the delay is related to the difficulty in spotting small changes occurring over many months. To support early detection, we have developed an online subscription service that enables people to regularly photograph their moles with their smartphone so our patent pending technology can determine if change has occurred.

CeBIT 2014, 10th - 14th March, Hannover, Germany SME stand competition finalists announced Promotional Partners Tento Technologies Tento has developed a unique, patented technology in the field of authentication. Our products can be used to verify individuals, assets and transactions such as high value deliveries. One token is printed on a transparent surface so that when two or more are overlaid, a key is revealed. Each token set can produce millions of different keys. If incompatible tokens are overlaid, nothing legible is revealed, so authentication fails. The tokens are visual - there are no batteries, no electronics, no radio signals, no memory, so production costs are minimal. One application area is online authentication where usernames and passwords have dominated due to their low cost. Up to now, strong 2-factor authentication has been expensive, used only by corporates and larger SMEs. Tento technology is ultra low cost to deploy, free to use and could herald the end of multiple web passwords.
