A typical biometric system uses appropriately designed sensors to capture the biometric trait of a person and compares this against the information stored in a database to establish identity. A biometric system can operate in two distinct modes: in the verification mode, the system confirms or negates a claimed identity, while in the identification mode, it determines the identity of an individual. 2, record 1, English, - biometric%20system

Hace cinco años, la empresa española ICN(Identificación y Custodia Neonatal) decidió implantar un sistema biométrico para evitar los errores en la identificación de bebés. [...] El resultado fue un dispositivo que permite tomar limpiamente la huella de los dedos índice y medio de la mano derecha del bebé, así como del dedo índice de la mano derecha de su progenitora, utilizando un escáner. Todas ellas quedan incluidas en un mismo registro electrónico que vincula a la madre y al neonato "para la posteridad". 2, record 1, Spanish, - sistema%20biom%C3%A9trico
