31. Technical White Paper: Low-Probability Of Intercept Of Ultra-Low-Power, Near-Field Signals 7/30/2009
    Long considered a technical backwater, low-power, near-field systems are emerging as the preferred solution for a variety of useful applications. These applications include short-range communication, radio frequency identification (RFID), and real-time locating systems (RTLS). This paper explores the ultralow-power and thus low-probability of intercept nature of near-field signals operating within the AM broadcast band under Part 15 constraints. By Hans G. Schantz, Q-Track Corporation

34. Security Of RFID Systems In Spite Of Hacked Mifare-Classic RFID Chips 7/23/2008
    FEIG ELECTRONIC is working on a more user friendly implementation of the Mifare DESFire functions of the reader. Until now all security functions have to be processed at the host level. With this new firmware, the encryption takes place at the reader and frees the host from this process, making it more user-friendly. By FEIG Electronic

38. Maximizing Waste Management Efficiency Through The Use Of RFID 7/21/2008
    Much attention has been given to our environment, the need to be more efficient and reduce the negative impact we have on it. Websites are dedicated to helping you measure your carbon footprint and provide tips to be more ‘green’. For example, the Yahoo® Green site notes each person produces roughly 4.5 lbs of waste a day. Though that seems like a macro example, what about the impact each household has on the environment with the amount of waste we throw into our trash cans or recycling bins? By Texas Instruments
