Description

BritePrint Device This is a special notice issued by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina. WSRC wishes to determine public interest in licensing for commercial resell the BritePrint device, a portable, lightweight, and high-intensity light source for detecting and analyzing fingerprints during field investigation. The BritePrint device comprises an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), a power source, and a personal attachment device. The high intensity wavelength-specific light source causes a dye to fluoresce and thus to provide a signal that may be detected by the human eye when light filtering goggles are worn. The LED personal attachment device allows the user to direct radiated light onto a particular surface area with latent fingerprints at the same time as applying dye to these surfaces, steps that previously had to be performed separately. The light source may be detached and easily held at arm's length to radiate light onto hard-to-reach surfaces, shortening the detection process and allowing a more thorough investigation. For more information on the BritePrint device and licensing opportunities contact Dale K. Haas via telephone at (803) 725-4185 or (800) 228-4988; via Fax at (803) 725-4988; via email at dale.haas@srs.gov; or via regular mail at Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A #238, Aiken, SC 29808. Responses to this notice should be received by June 25, 2001. This is not a request for a formal subcontract; it is a request for interested parties and licensing opportunities only.
