A Modified Split⁃Ring Resonator Antenna for Radio Frequency Identification Tag

A compact antenna formed by three concentric split rings for ultra-high frequency(UHF)radio frequency identification(RFID)tag is proposed in this paper.The antenna is composed of two parts,an outer short-circuited ring modified from a traditional split-ring resonator(SRR)antenna and an inner SRR load,so the antenna can be regarded as a short-circuited ring loaded with SRR.According to the transmission line theory,to conjugate match with the capacitive input-impedance of a tag chip,the length of the short-circuited ring isλg/4 shorter than that of an open-circuited dipole of a traditional SRR antenna,whereλg is the wavelengh of the operating frequency.Hence,the size of the proposed antenna is more compact than that of the traditional SRR antenna.Thereafter,the proposed antenna is simulated and optimized by ANSYS high-frequency structure simulator(HFSS).The impedance,efficiency,and mutual coupling of the fabricated antenna are tested in a reverberation chamber(RC).The results show that the size of the presented antenna is 83%smaller than that of the traditional SRR antenna and the proposed antenna can cover the whole UHF RFID operating frequency band worldwide(840—960 MHz).The measured read range of the tag exhibits maximum values of 45 cm in free space and 37 cm under dense tag environment.

In order to construct a resource-saving and environment- friendly society, the advantages of radio frequency identification （RFID） were considered. And it put forward the idea of introducing RFID in the recycling activities of waste products. Taking into account such elements as the technical level of RFID, cost saving from remanufacturing and the cost of RFID tags, both centralized and decentralized supply chain models with different participants in waste product collection were created, in order to determine the optimal pricing strategy and RFID technical level. In the end, sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze the impacts of scaling parameter for additional increased recovery rate with RFED on pricing and RFID technology level, and impacts of cost saving on the profits of participants in different remanufacturing closed-loop supply chain models.

Recovery of Collided RFID Tags With Frequency Drift on Physical Layer

In a passive ultra-high frequency(UHF)radio frequency identification(RFID)system,the recovery of collided tag signals on a physical layer can enhance identification efficiency.However,frequency drift is very common in UHF RFID systems,and will have an influence on the recovery on the physical layer.To address the problem of recovery with the frequency drift,this paper adopts a radial basis function(RBF)network to separate the collision signals,and decode the signals via FM0 to recovery collided RFID tags.Numerical results show that the method in this paper has better performance of symbol error rate(SER)and separation efficiency compared to conventional methods when frequency drift occurs.

Capture-aware Bayesian RFID Tag Estimate for Large-scale Identification

Dynamic framed slotted Aloha algorithm is one of popular passive radio frequency identification(RFID) tag anticollision algorithms. In the algorithm, a frame length requires dynamical adjustment to achieve higher identification efficiency.Generally, the adjustment of the frame length is not only related to the number of tags, but also to the occurrence probability of capture effect. Existing algorithms could estimate both the number of tags and the probability of capture effect. Under large-scale RFID tag identification, however, the number of tags would be much larger than an initial frame length. In this scenario, the existing algorithm's estimation errors would substantially increase. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm called capture-aware Bayesian estimate, which adopts Bayesian rules to accurately estimate the number and the probability simultaneously. From numerical results, the proposed algorithm adapts well to the large-scale RFID tag identification. It has lower estimation errors than the existing algorithms. Further,the identification efficiency from the proposed estimate is also higher than the existing algorithms.

An active Tag with unique ID is mounted on each vehicle. By enabling the AUTOCRC error detection possibility, minor errors are detected in the received frames. Receiver sensitivity of –97 dBm and current consumption of 1 μA in the sleep mode and 29.6 mA in the active mode are reported.

Understanding RFID Technology within a Business Intelligence Framework

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology provides new and exciting opportunities for increasing organiza- tional, financial, and operational performance. With its focus on organizational efficiency and effectiveness, RFID technology is superior to barcodes in its ability to provide source automation features that increase the speed and volume of data collection for analysis. Today, applications that employ RFID are growing rapidly and this technology is in a continuous state of evolution and growth. As it continues to progress, RFID provides us with new opportunities to use business intelligence (BI) to monitor organizational operations and learn more about markets, as well as consumer attitudes, behaviors, and product preferences. This technology can even be used to prevent potentially faulty or spoiled products from ending up in the hands of consumers. However, RFID offers significant challenges to organizations that attempt to employ this technology. Most significantly, there exists the potential for RFID to overwhelm data collection and BI analytic efforts if organizations fail to effectively address RFID data integration issues. To this end, the purpose of this article is to explicate the dynamic technology of RFID and how it is being used today. Additionally, this article will provide insights into how RFID technology is evolving and how this technology relates to BI and issues related to data integration. This knowledge has never been more essential. While IT academic research into RFID development and issues has declined in recent years, RFID continues to be a vital area of exploration, especially as it relates to BI in the 21st century.

Design and simulation of self-powered radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for mobile temperature monitoring

This paper presents a design for a self-powered radio frequency identification (RFID) tag with a thin film bulk acoustic reso- nating piezoelectric power supply (PPS), which can be used for portable remote temperature monitoring. We call this system a PPS-RFID for short. The RFID systems have been found to have many applications in the internet of things (IOT) in the past decade. But semi-active RFID tags require an onboard battery which limits their applications in many fields. For these reasons, our research focuses on power sources for the RFID tags. This paper emphasizes the circuit design and simulation of PPS. In our tests, 0.283 mW was generated by PPS at 1 Hz vibration by a 650 N impact force. The results showed that the integrated PPS could supply sufficient power for the designed PPS-RFID tag. The PPS-RFID tag can be widely used for temperature monitoring during mobile transport of perishable items such as medicines or food.

Automated Identification Algorithm Using CNN for Computer Vision in Smart Refrigerators

Machine Learning has evolved with a variety of algorithms to enable state-of-the-art computer vision applications.In particular the need for automating the process of real-time food item identification,there is a huge surge of research so as to make smarter refrigerators.According to a survey by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO),it has been found that 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted by consumers around the world due to either food spoilage or expiry and a large amount of food is wasted from homes and restaurants itself.Smart refrigerators have been very successful in playing a pivotal role in mitigating this problem of food wastage.But a major issue is the high cost of available smart refrigerators and the lack of accurate design algorithms which can help achieve computer vision in any ordinary refrigerator.To address these issues,this work proposes an automated identification algorithm for computer vision in smart refrigerators using InceptionV3 and MobileNet Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)architectures.The designed module and algorithm have been elaborated in detail and are considerably evaluated for its accuracy using test images on standard fruits and vegetable datasets.A total of eight test cases are considered with accuracy and training time as the performance metric.In the end,real-time testing results are also presented which validates the system’s performance.

Application of PRO-ESPRIT algorithm in identification of surface acoustic wave identification-tags

The surface acoustic wave （SAW） identification （ID）-tags have great potential for application in radio frequency identification （RFID） due to their characteristics of wireless sensing and passive operation. In the measurements based on the frequency domain sampling （FDS）, to expand the range of detection and allow the system work in harsh environments, it is necessary to enhance the identification capability at low SNR. In addition, to identify the tags in real time, it is important to reduce identification time. Therefore, estimation of signal parameters based on the Procrustes rotations via the rotational invariance technique （PRO-ESPRIT） is adopted. Experimental results show that good identification capability is achieved with a relatively faster measurement speed.

Link Budget Design with Performance Evaluation of Tunable Impulse-Based Ultra Wideband to Support the Integration of Wireless Sensing and Identifications Infrastructures

Recently, many studies propose the use of ultra-wideband technology for passive and active radio frequency identification systems as well as for wireless sensor networks due to its numerous advantages. By harvesting these advantages of IR-UWB technology at the physical-layer design, this paper proposes that a cross layer architecture platform can be considered as a good integrator for different wireless short-ranges indoor protocols into a universal smart wireless-tagged architecture with new promising applications in cognitive radio for future applications. Adaptive transmission algorithms have been studied to show the trade-off between different specific QoS requirements, transmission rates and distances at the physical layer level and this type of dynamic optimization and reconfiguration leads to the cross-layer design proposal in the paper. Studies from both theoretical simulation and statistical indoor environments experiments are considered as a proof of concept for the proposed architecture.

The Effects of Q Inside^TMSafety Technology Micro Transponder on Routine Breast Implant Imaging

Objectives: A recent entry into the silicone gel-filled breast implant market from Motiva Implants (Establishment Labs Holdings Inc., NY, USA) contains a radio frequency identification device micro-transponder (RFID-M), known as the Q Inside Safety Technology, as an added safety feature embedded in the shell of its breast implant. This RFID-M device allows for the rapid unique identification of the implant. Concern for imaging voids due to the presence of the RFID device during MRI screening scans have arisen given its metallic components. Our investigation aims to determine whether the Q Inside Safety Technology RFID-M device in the Motiva Implants Limits the visualization of breast tissue in conventional breast imaging modalities. Methods: Seven patients with Motiva Implants were referred to dedicated diagnostic breast imaging centers for evaluation of their prostheses and surrounding breast parenchyma between January and May 2018. Imaging indications included routine evaluation of implant integrity, evaluation of significant breast symptoms, oncologic follow-up, and breast cancer screenings. Results: Under mammography, the Motiva Implants have a similar contour and mobility to other commonly used implants. The RFID-M is not visible and produces no artifact, allowing for proper visualization and screening of all visualized parenchymal tissues. Under ultrasound, the Motiva Implants are well-visualized in all patients. The RFID-M was not visible in vivo. No related ultrasound artifact was apparent within the lumen or behind the implant as shown in Figure 2(a). Five patients received MRI. The breast parenchyma and axillae were well-visualized in all 5 patients. The RFID-M was found to produce a “butterfly-shaped” susceptibility artifact that projects into the lumen of the breast implant and causes image distortion in some of the surrounding soft tissues and chest wall posterior to the implant. Conclusion: Aside from making its presence evident inside the implant, the Q Inside Safety Technology RFID-M does not interfere with the mammographic or sonographic exam, its results, or any consequent diagnosis made via their analysis. In the same respect using optimized MRI sequences to evaluate patients we were able to obtain satisfactory visualization of breast tissue in patients with the new Motiva Implants, and recommend using optimized study protocols for both early cancer detection and assessment of the implant’s integrity.
