Printable RFID could soon be a reality- July 9, 2008 midnightcomm What if electronic components could be directly printed on organic materials such as fabrics, paper and plastic This would surely bring down the costs of printing RFID tags and we could find RFID on almost every article on the rack and even on those items on which it is difficult to print tags. A European research group has taken the initiative for developing printable electronics which could be used for creating RFID tags. Researchers are working on Labratester 2, a gravure...http://www.rfid-weblog.com/50226711/printable_rfid_could_soon_be_a_reality.php RFID transponders or beautiful pieces of art- July 8, 2008 RFID transponders are not something which most of you would like to give a second look but you would have to eat your words when you give a look to these designs.

Agility: Foam based RFID tags can work with liquids and metals- July 2, 2008 One of the problems generally faced with RFID tags is that they are not able to perform near liquids or metal as they tend to interfere with RF waves. Keeping in mind these limitations ITTC at University of Kansas has developed Agility which is a passive UHF tag aimed at overcoming the problems faced when using them near the materials stated above. It is a foam attached tag (FAT) which is around 216 inches thick. It works perfectly near liquids, metals and free spaces and can be read from a...http://www.rfid-weblog.com/50226711/agility_foam_based_rfid_tags_can_work_with_liquids_and... |
