In this paper, a low-frequency RFID location system based on a matrix of quad antennae placed under a floor surface is described. A prototype system was used for parameterisation and feasibility tests. The results show that it is possible to build a location system using floor quad antennae.

Native Language Identification, or NLI, is the task of automatically classifying the L1 of a writer based solely on his or her essay written in another language. This problem area has seen a spike in interest in recent years as it can have an impact on educational applications tailored towards non-native speakers of a language, as well as authorship profiling. While there has been a growing bod...

We developed a tangible entertainment system that enables to play video game with physical collectibles as game components. It consists of a capsule toy vending machine with LCD panel, capsule toys with embedded RFID tags, an RFID sensor board and a computer. Nowadays a huge amount of collectibles is sold: baseball cards, dollhouse miniatures, character figures, candy tins, and so on. Usually, ...

RFID middleware is a cornerstone of non-trivial RFID deployments in complex heterogeneous environments. In this paper we present the principal middleware building blocks specified in the scope of the EPCglobal architecture. Alternative protocols and implementation frameworks for realizing these middleware blocks are also presented. At the same time we outline several middleware extensions to th...

Automatic writer identification and writer verification has recently received significant attention in the field of historical analysis. In this work a short overview of current approaches for writer identification is given. Current state-of-the-art results on contemporary data are related to different approaches for writer verification on a small dataset of datum lines extracted from papal cha...

identification based on faces is still a useful method for many applications and face recognition developing is an active research field. in this paper, a novel face identification method is proposed. the proposed method (bridle path on gabor phase (bpgp)) is based on extracting texture patterns from phases of the gabor wavelet. also, in order to describe the textures, a novel texture descripto...

oak trees cover a wide range of forests in iran and most of them are located in kohgiloye and boyer-ahmad province (k.b). the high tannin is one of the anti-nutritional characteristics of acorn for domestic animal. wide range of gut microorganisms could tolerate tannin and reduce it by producing tannase enzyme. this study was carried out to isolate and identify the tannin resistance bacteria (t...
