Radio frequency identification (RFID) networks are an emerging type of network that is posed to play an important role in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). One of the most critical issues facing RFID networks is that of security. Unlike conventional networks, RFID networks are characterized by the use of computationally weak RFID tags. These tags come with even more stringent resource constraints t...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can be used as technology for coupling the physical and the virtual world in ubiquitous computing environments. In this paper, we show that RFID is also a very interesting option for building augmented real-world games. First, we describe several advantages of employing RFID technology for the development of gaming applications. Then we present the Smart Ji...

The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology extends historically to the 1970’s, when the first commercial products emerged. The introduction of this technology motivated future research that sought to integrate RFID into various applications ranging from inventory control/monitoring to human/animal tracking. However, the practical significance of this technology was not fully re...

introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...

processing and recovery is a key functional element in municipal solid waste management system (mswms). reuse, recycle and recovery of valuable components of waste stream are given much attention in mswms in both developed and developing countries. the main concern of municipalities is the sound management of recyclable materials. source separation as a best practice for management of trash and...

Since the radar system was invented in 1922, the development of devices communicating by means of reflected power has experienced a continuously growing interest. In 1948, Harry Stockman published a paper [1] in which he laid the basis for the idea of radio frequency identification (RFID), and the first patent had been filed in 1973 by Charles Walton. After decades of research and commercializa...

A new design about the integration of temperature sensor and RFID tag is provided. This is a dual-tag design, in which the temperature element is connected to one of the RFID tag antennas to form a parallel structure. In this design, some of the functions of the sensor are transferred to the RFID reader so that some components of the sensor can be cut, reducing the production costs of existing ...

In this work, a slotted patch antenna is employed as a wireless sensor for monitoring structural strain and fatigue crack. Using antenna miniaturization techniques to increase the current path length, the footprint of the slotted patch antenna can be reduced to one quarter of a previously presented folded patch antenna. Electromagnetic simulations show that the antenna resonance frequency varie...
