In the realm of security, the hand-held SPT 1500 with bar code reader lets personnel scan student information directly from ID cards. Information like medical history, class schedule or student status can be instantly accessed. Symbol Technologies, Inc., Holtsville, NY, (800) 722-6234, www.symbol.com.
