Business projectors don't have to be just the equivalent of a home theatre of the office or conference room; rather, knowing and understanding a bit more of the different types and their key features/ functionality can enable them to be used as powerful business tools, says David Stone in eWeek.com.
According to the article, one of the key features to consider is the "throw" of the projector ie. the distance of the projector from the screen [choose between standard, short throw, and ultra-short throw]. Secondly, consider how shadows can be avoided; thirdly, where do you want to place the projector [table top, rear projection; table top, front projection and on-the-floor projection].

Amanda C. Kooser of Entrepreneur.com does a comprehensive review of some of the latest models of digital projectors for business use. As she says, projectors are indeed "getting brighter, showing truer colours and tackling HD video."
Some of the models she mentions in her article are: Epson Powerlite 400W, priced at around $1399; the Toshiba TDP-EW25U, priced at about $2059; the Sony VPL-EW5 costing about $1410; the Sharp XR-32X that costs about $1195. Besides these, she does discuss a few other models from NEC, Sanyo and InFocus, while also recommending that projector buyers should also consider models from Dell, Planar and Panasonic before going ahead with a purchase.
So, how should one narrow down the list from the wide choices of projectors available? Here's here advice: "Narrow down your options by deciding if you need a portable or conference room projector, whether you'll be using a widescreen notebook, and whether you'll be projecting in a brightly lit room or projecting a big image in a small space."

Sharp Imaging was selected for the 2008 BERTL's BEST award for Most Secure Multifunctional Peripheral (MFP) Range Award, making this the fifth straight time the company has won the award in this category.
Sharp MFPs ensures security at every step of the document lifecycle, right from the initial scan to the final output and distribution with a host of network authorization and security options, including Kerberos, IPSEC and SSL. These allow users to easily control and monitor the Sharp MFP. By utilizing account codes, user/group profiles, passwords, external user accounts or access cards, Sharp users can prevent and limit unauthorized access to each device. These machines also include advanced fax and email security features.
The BERTL's Best awards are recognition for the best devices and software in the digital imaging marketplace, accorded after a thorough review of hundreds of digital imaging devices, software and management utilities.

Market research firm ABI Research projects that spending on biometrics technologies for security purposes would reach $7.3 billion by 2013, which will be more than double the project spend of about $3 billion in 2008. The projection is part of a new study by the firm, more details of which can be found here.
Growth will be driven by increased emphasis on security in both the public and private sectors; equally important is the fact that there has been greater standardization which has enabled the emergence of more interoperable systems. The key biometrics advancements have been in the area of face, iris, hand, and speech recognition systems. Meanwhile fingerprint recognition system will continue to be the dominant biometric measurement system.
