Over the past decade, researchers have shown significant advances in the area of radio frequency identification (RFID) and metamaterials. RFID is being applied to a wide spectrum of industries and metamaterial-based antennas are beginning to perform just as well as existing larger printed antennas. This paper presents two novel metamaterial-based antennas for passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) ...

Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is a broad term that is used for classifying technologies that use radio waves to automatically recognize objects and people (Greene, 2005). This radical concept came into existence in 1940s (Landt, 2001), when it was first used in World War II by British aircrafts to identify friendly airplanes returning from their missions. RFD has the ability to track s...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a complex ICT application. Adoption by organizations has been relatively slow. This paper assesses the contribution that research into information systems adoption and diffusion can make to understanding and predicting the diffusion of RFID. The paper concludes that traditional research methods are inappropriate for such applications. Information systems...

The main goal of this study is to investigate the opportunities, challenges, and prospects of applying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to the food supply management context where food safety issue is highly valued. Several key factors and implications have been identified based on longitudinal data gathered from a real life RFID project that was initiated and implemented by the...

Radio Frequency identification (RFID) is the popular wireless induction system [1-7]. The same as the general bar code identification, each RFID tag in an RFID system is assumed that equips a unique ID (UID) itself. A standard RFID system is consisted of Tag, Reader, and Application. When an independent RFID tag approaches the RFID antenna, the induc‐ tion between RFID tag and antenna happens. ...

This paper explores how library managers go about implementing RFID (radio frequency identification) technology and particularly how associated privacy issues have been managed. The research methodology consisted of a literature review, theme identification, interview scheduling, interviews and interview analysis. The sample was ten libraries or library networks and eighteen participants. Findi...

Middleware is a layer of the software that connects and manages application components running on distributed hosts. Several types of middleware are reflective middleware, eventbased middleware, object-oriented middleware, and message-oriented middleware. Adaptive middleware is part of reflective middleware, that allows the system’s behavior to be altered at run time to better match the system’...

-A non-revivable Privacy Protection Circuit is proposed and designed in a low frequency passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transponder. The main component of the non-revivable Privacy Protection Circuit is a poly fuse. The fuse acts as a switch and will be burn out when the function of transponder must be disabled. The broken fuse can not be repaired and prohibit the power required f...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has helped many organizations to reduce cost. Nevertheless, there are challenges and issues associated with RFID adoption. The most common internal challenge for many organizations is justifying the investment and modification of processes. However, there are external issues such as privacy and security that companies need to deal with. The focus...

Low cost Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are increasingly being deployed in industry and commerce. These contactless devices have raised public concern regarding violation of privacy and information security. There is a growing need in the RFID community to discover and develop techniques and methods to overcome several problems posed by the above-mentioned concerns. This paper pr...
