This work analyses the use of NFC technology to simplify the interactions of users with context-aware services offered by intelligent environments. Touch Computing is a novel explicit user interaction mechanism in which users accompanied by their NFC-enabled mobile devices request services from the environment by touching tags or other NFC-enabled devices. This paper describes the deployment of...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is one of the emerging and promising technological developments for mobile phones and other contactless devices. NFC technologies allow two active devices embedded with chip transmit small pieces of data between each other via short range wireless connection and at low speed depending on the configurations. It offers low friction process because of the close range...

UNLABELLED Aqueous dispersion of conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) ( PEDOT PSS) was deposited on spin-coated and drop cast nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC)-glycerol (G) matrix on a glass substrate. A thin glycerol film was utilized on plasma-treated glass substrate to provide adequate adhesion for the NFC-glycerol (NFC-G) film. The effects of annealing te...

In this paper, we present an assessment of near eld communication (NFC) in the context of a payment market. During these past years, we have been witnessing a number of mobile payment trials based on NFC. Early experiences are already quite encouraging and many expect NFC to become a highly efcient and effective technology for mobile payments. The objective of our research is to evaluate in a s...

This work investigates nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) as a component in mineral pigment paper coating. In this work, bleached Eucalyptus pulp was pretreated by TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperdinyloxy)-mediated oxidation. The oxidized pulp was then isolated to obtain NFC by sonication. Aqueous coating colors consisting of calcium carbonate, clay, carboxylated butadiene-styrene latex, additi...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short range radio frequency technology. Because of the short range, cloning attacks of NFC devices are impractical. To make this possible, you would need to be very close to the tag. Currently, a lot of research has been done on NFC range extension. However, almost all of this research is executed in a lab environment that is not comparable to a day-to-day wo...

Mobile NFC payment is an emerging industry, estimated to reach $670 billion by 2015. The Mafia attack presents a realistic threat to payment systems including mobile NFC payment. In this attack, a user consciously initiates an NFC payment against a legitimate-looking NFC reader (controlled by the Mafia), not knowing that the reader actually relays the data to a remote legitimate NFC reader to p...

Near Field Communication (NFC) based applications seem to be appealing in a world where everything moves away from plastic and contact based services. This project gives an overview on NFC and its implementation in mobile phones together with SIM based security features. Furthermore it presents mobile payment as one example of a SIM secured NFC based application on mobile phones, presents its a...

Twenty-four multiparous lactating Holstein cows were blocked by days in milk and assigned to treatment sequences in a replicated 4x4 Latin square with 21-d periods. The four diets, formulated from alfalfa silage plus a concentrate mix based on ground high moisture ear corn, contained [dry matter (DM) basis]: 1) 20% concentrate, 80% alfalfa silage (24% nonfiber carbohydrates; NFC), 2) 35% concen...
