In this paper a new analysis is presented that allows to investigate the asymptotic behavior of some backlog estimation procedures for Dynamic Frame Aloha (DFA) in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) environment. Although efficiency e−1 can theoretically be reached, none of the solution proposed in the literature has been shown to reach such value. Here we analyze first the Schoute’s backlog ...

With the international reform in medical management systems gaining ground worldwide, hospital management has gradually begun to shift its focus from providing expensive medical treatment to improving medical service quality and patient safety. In this study, we discuss the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and data integrating technology with the medical service, and examine...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has received considerable attention from practitioners, driven by mandates from major retailers and the United States Department of Defense. RFID technology promises numerous benefits in the supply chain, such as increased visibility, security and efficiency. Despite such attentions and the anticipated benefits, RFID is not well-understood and ma...

Human is striving for a well-facilitated world on a daily basis. Having been invented for more than half a century, Radio frequency identification or RFID is lately being used. While noting that every new technology comes along with its threats, RFID technology is bound to the same rule. This paper examines the possible threats of this technology and introduces ways to counter these threats and...

This paper presents research aimed at developing a three dimensional (3D) buried assets locating system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. RFID is employed to improve the locating of underground infrastructure. Problems facing the utility companies are highlighted and discussed. Within the paper, differences between system performance in real conditions and ideal conditi...

After exploring industrial and consumer applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and reviewing the state-of-theart and development in RFID technology, the paper put forward RFID smart parts. A currently operative smart part based manufacturing system is described which uses RFID as the key technology. The role of them in the emerging Wireless Internet Manufacturing field is highlig...

The RFID Garage Door Entry System team is a project team which seeks to create an automation solution using a relatively un-harnessed technology called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Using RFID technology, the team seeks to combine the functionality and convenience of automated remote transmission with an existing garage door opener system. The intent of this project was to build a syst...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) facilitates automatic identification of items using radio-waves. This technology albeit initially introduced in the 1940s and 1950s, has seen a drastic increase in the number of applications and implementations in the recent years. This work aims to review some of the current developments in this field and to develop a taxonomic framework to classify litera...

The paper primarily suggests the use of RFID technology to provide an efficient and enhanced automated ticketing system. The principle aim of the paper is to improve the efficiency of the prevailing suggested RFID ticketing system by considering and overcoming its limitations. The prevailing system proposes the installation of RFID reader circuit in each and every bus stop to facilitate the cal...
