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…

Since, I can remember I have always been the shy, quiet type. I did not speak, unless spoken to, made friends, but never put effort in keeping them, because there was no point in keeping friends when I knew I would have to move the next school year or half way through the year; however, that all changed in the middle of my third grade year. IT happened. The BIG move. Well, not really. We were still in the same state, just 352 miles away from everything I have ever known. The moved shifted my…

Soldiers in the 35P Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) face many challenges as the progress through their language school and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). They spend six to 18 months focusing all their attention on learning a second language at an accelerated pace and when they have accomplished that daunting task they are sent to Goodfellow Air Force Base to learn the technical aspect of their MOS, usually another three or four months of training. By the time a 35P Soldier arrives at…

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…

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…

Resident 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…

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).…

Brief Overview: what is the composer’s purpose? Atwood’s purpose is to suggest major ideas about life and the world, through the conversation of a parent trying to teach their child basic ideas and eventually more advanced concepts of the world. The poem suggests to its responders that although there are people in the world who are teaching us, even they can never know everything. The main theme or message of the poem is to encourage future children to be able to make their own choices and…

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…

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 unit. By this location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real time or when analyzing the track later, using GPS tracking software. This device available for smartphones and other mobile devices.…
