life. Everyone has seen Windows 10 and the new iPhone 6s+, but not many people have noticed the small and silent but (metaphorically) deadly technological “predators” that are spreading quickly throughout humanity: RFID chips. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is a small piece of equipment that utilizes electromagnetic fields to transfer data between the chip and a receiving device. General RFID chips are a breach of personal privacy and should not be used in any circumstance…
Privacy has been a big concern of citizens interested in nanotechnology. The biggest component of the privacy breach is radio frequency identification chips called RFID. This technology is essentially the remote recognition of objects. With RFID, there has been concern that our privacy could potentially be breached by stores and companies by means of item-level tagging. Essentially…
The Federal Communication Commission is responsible for overseeing all television, radio and telephone industries in America. It is managed by five members picked by the president. These people work until their five year term ends regulating communication through all the mass media. Only three workers can be from the same political party. There are many different jobs for the FCC. The FCC workers handle license applications, analyze complaints, develop regulations, and participate in hearings.…
3.8: Benefits and Limitations of RFID: Though RFID is not likely to entirely replace commonly used barcodes in the near future, the following advantages suggest to additionally apply RFID for added value of identification: • Tag detection not requiring human intervention reduces employment costs and eliminates human errors from data collection, • As no line-of-sight is required, tag placement is less constrained, • RFID tags have a longer read range than, e. g., barcodes, • Tags can have…
Not every innovative idea is capable of surviving the initial stages of inception. In order to ensure success, innovators must scrutinize concepts for their benefit, not only to the organization, but also to the consumer. From conception to planning, and production to marketing, ideas must stand up to multiple tests and criteria. One such way of measuring the merit of an idea is by using the NOMMAR method, which evaluates customer need, technological options, potential market, business model,…
Introduction RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is a rapidly expanding technology being utilized more and more in our daily life. This paper will explain the history, uses, benefits, obstacles and innovations of RFID. I will examine why it is being employed by so many industries and what can limit its expansion. RFID Background RFID types consist of either passive systems, which do not have an internal power source, or active systems, which have a power supply and can…
Evil: Extinction. It’s a very entertaining action packed movie, but it also gives a rough draft about what are radio-frequency identification chips (RFID Chips). Radio frequency identification chips uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects that contain personal information. In the movie, the used a devices very similar to radio-frequency chips to track the main character Alice. Alice was an ordinary girl until the antagonistic Umbrella Company…
Cyber-Security in Transportation Technology in transportation can result in productivity gains, however a higher dependency on information technology also leads to greater exposure and potential of being a target for cyber-crimes such as denial of service, stealing of passenger private information and cyber terrorisms. According to analysis for incidents from 2002-2004 transportation systems faced 16% of total cyber hackings and terrorisms on critical infrastructure (IEEE, 2007).…
First let start by saying what is the (LRAD) The Long Range Acoustic Device? Is a loud microphone or speaker to convey important message to loud noise making indidvuals and the environment. It is not a less lethal weapon. The LRAD get the attention of a crowd or a criminal is about to break the law by disturbing the peach, the LRAD will get the attention of the trouble maker, prevent injury, and save lives. What is it used for; LRAD is mostly used in crowded situation which will include a lot of…
GPS tracking unit is a device used by person to track the location. This software tracks vehicle location, real-time movement and driver performance and sends out mechanical and service alerts. GPS tracking is extremely useful for police, firefighters, military personnel and large courier businesses. The location data can be stored within the tracking unit and transmitted to a central location data base or internet connected computer, using a GPRS or SMS, radio or satellite modem embedded in the…
