Worried about the security of your family as you tend to spend long hours at your office? If this is the case then leave all your concerns to Trusted eSentry Security or TES, an RFID/biometric security system which automatically recognizes people using a combination of HF or UHF and facial recognition technology.

The addition of biometric recognition has certainly improved the levels of security. Chances of stealing and copying of information is limited as there is no central database which could trigger the same. This is a multi authentication platform which brings together RFID and facial recognition. Besides facial recognition it also enhances security through iris, fingerprint and voice recognition.

It can be successfully implemented in industries where security is of paramount importance such as financial, pharma and aerospace industries. Seems RFID will take security to the next level!!

Most of us are indifferent towards our environment and we knowingly or unknowingly tend to harm it and if we continue neglecting our environment which once acted as a cradle for us it could soon turn onto our graves.

If you would like your environment to care for you then you must make an effort to recycle as much products as you can or nobody will be able to save your environment from getting polluted.

In one of the encouraging examples Howard County's Bureau of Environmental Services, Maryland came up with a novel method to persuade people to be more sensitive to their environment. Under a pilot program EPC Gen 2 RFID tags were attached to recycling containers apart from interrogators on truck which offered information regarding who all participated in the recycling process and who didn't.

On the basis of data collected using the RFID system postcards will be sent to people who didn't become a part of the recycling process so that they could be educated regarding how recycling could go a long way in protecting the environment around them.

I hope very soon people start realizing the importance of saving their environment and if it happens a part of the credit would go to RFID.

Spaces are vanishing in Japan but the grey hair population has been on the rise which has made it difficult to buy burial space for the dead to rest in peace. With burial lands costing more than $20,000 Nichiryoku has chosen RFID to blend with the dead. Now the remains of your beloved will be sealed in a box and kept in an underground vault and when you feel like remembering them you can use a RFID card to bring up the urn or box from the vault and place it in the prayer area.

Japanese are known for their technical prowess and therefore they turned to technology to take care of the dead and give them same respect as was done when they were alive. They cannot bring down the land prices but they can definitely ensure that the departed soul doesn't have to suffer in event of decreasing burial land and they rest in peace forever. God bless!!

Have a look at how the RFID urn retrieval system would work

Most of our golden memories tend to remain in our brains and never become a part of some video or end up on a photo paper because the best moments happen by chance.

If you would like your memories to take shape then Alton Towers, a UK amusement park will make sure that when you visit their park you should take your memories along and that too in form of a video.

On reaching the amusement park you will be handed RFID wristbands which activate 36 camera systems around the park capturing your best moments as they happen. Dubbed as Your Day, this video package can be burnt on a DVD where your personal images will be mixed along with stock footage of the park besides background music and sound effects to add novelty to the video. You can either choose from single or complete trip video which has been priced accordingly.

Get ready to capture your best memories so that you can always keep them closer to your heart!!

If I am not mistaken then this is the first UHF read/write device available in USB stick package. So in case you possess a device having a USB port it would be very much possible to read and write Gen2 and ISO 18000-6 standard passive UHF tags.

Measuring 120*34*15, this USB stick from iDTRONIC derives its power from the device it's plugged into and matches the EPCglobal Gen2 and ISO 18000-6 Part B and C standards.

One drawback in this case is that it cannot match read range of common fixed position passive UHF readers which is generally twenty feet or more and in case of USB stick from iDTRONIC it is only 80 cm. This RFID USB Stick is expected to fill in air in the vacuum existing between laptops and handheld mobile devices. As of now the market is still not mature for such devices but future holds promise for them

So now get ready to use your laptop, desktop or for that matter any other USB backed device to achieve the same as USB stick is expected to debut within a month.

My nephew has crossed the limits of obesity, courtesy the junk food he munches everyday and the sedentary lifestyle which has become a part of his living. I was searching for ways to get him back into shape and I came across Freikometer, a technology developed by Rob Nagler to make his boys pedal to school everyday.





Rob Nagler along with Tim Carlin mounted their Freikometer, a solar powered rider monitor at entrance of school lots. It was entrusted with the responsibility of recording bicycle trips with the aid of RFID tags attached to their helmets. The trip data used to automatically reach the system of Nagler who had announced prizes for children making maximum trips to school on their bicycles. With prizes including the likes of digital cameras and iPod Nano this has definitely encouraged a lot of students to chuck bus or car rides in favor of the healthier option. All this has been made possible by the non profit organization funded by Rob Nagler which is certainly an encouragement for several other parents to do the same.

Not only will this social movement shun obesity from the society but even save our environment by preventing the use of fuel driven vehicles. He has certainly laid down a vision which would go a long way towards helping the mankind.
