(PhysOrg.com) -- Small companies prepared to share commercially sensitive information can add value and develop new services for their customers, using a distributed track-and-trace software solution. http://www.physorg.com/news179073711.html Technology Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:40:01 EST news179073711 (PhysOrg.com) -- Have the blood supplies got too warm? Do they match the patient?s blood group? In the future, these kinds of questions will be answered by intelligent radio nodes attached to blood bags. These radio units will also greatly facilitate device management in hospitals. http://www.physorg.com/news178913773.html Technology Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:00:03 EST news178913773 (PhysOrg.com) -- European researchers have created the architecture, hardware and software that will enable super-agile distributed corporations capable of reconfiguring themselves on the fly. It promises to make 'made-to-order' a reality for consumers. http://www.physorg.com/news178913221.html Technology Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:20:04 EST news178913221 Santanu Majumdar spent his years as a graphic design graduate student developing a project that might sound counterintuitive for a student of fine arts - a software program made to simplify information gathering at conferences and exhibitions. With the help of researchers at LSU's Center for Computation & Technology, or CCT, Majumdar developed Exhibition Next, a system that's inexpensive, easy to use and an event organizer's dream come true. http://www.physorg.com/news178896014.html Other Sciences Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:00:06 EST news178896014 Up to now, extreme production temperatures made it impossible to equip metallic components with RFID chips during the operating process. At Euromold in Frankfurt (Dec. 2-5), Germany, Fraunhofer researchers present a variation on a process that makes the non-destructive integration of radio chips a reality. http://www.physorg.com/news178279408.html Technology Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:20:02 EST news178279408 GE Global Research, the technology development arm for the General Electric, today announced a $2 million award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to develop wearable RFID sensors to alert people to the presence of environmental chemical agents in the air and sample exhaled breath to serve as an early indicator of disease. http://www.physorg.com/news177955412.html Chemistry Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:30:03 EST news177955412 Like the paperless office, the smart home has been a long time coming, but a report published in the International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology, suggests that radio tags coupled with mobile communications devices could soon provide seamless multimedia services to the home. http://www.physorg.com/news177850915.html Technology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:20:01 EST news177850915 (PhysOrg.com) -- Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a unique and robust method to prevent cloning of passive radio frequency identification tags. The technology, based on one or more unique physical attributes of individual tags rather than information stored on them, will prevent the production of counterfeit tags and thus greatly enhance both security and privacy for government agencies, businesses and consumers. http://www.physorg.com/news177842859.html Technology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:48:17 EST news177842859 (PhysOrg.com) -- Xerox has developed an ink which can be used to print circuits onto plastics, films, and textiles. Although circuits printed on flexible materials aren't new, Xerox's method may be cheap and easy enough to open the doors to many new possibilities for flexible electronics. http://www.physorg.com/news175870685.html Technology Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:58:38 EST news175870685 (PhysOrg.com) -- A University of Dundee graduate has created a computer system with the potential to make the game of Blackjack fairer by detecting card counters and dealer errors. http://www.physorg.com/news174491549.html Technology Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:02:28 EST news174491549 (AP) -- It's a pain to keep track of the chargers that go with cell phones, media players and other small electronics. It's even more annoying to stuff multiple power cords and adapters in your bag when you go out of town. http://www.physorg.com/news174156792.html Electronics Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:53:45 EST news174156792 Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are widely used for applications that include inventory management, package tracking, toll collection, passport identification and airport luggage security. More recently, these systems have found their way into medical environments to track patients, equipment assets and staff members. http://www.physorg.com/news174044365.html Technology Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:43:50 EST news174044365 (PhysOrg.com) -- Envision a distasteful trip to the curb to take out the trash as a pleasant -- and profitable -- stroll. Some juiceless batteries - those are good for a few cents. An old keyboard might fetch a couple of bucks. Even that empty box of Pop-Tarts might be worth something. http://www.physorg.com/news172418366.html Technology Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:05:41 EST news172418366 (PhysOrg.com) -- Salt and paper battery can be used in many low-power devices, such as medical implants, RFID tags, wireless sensors and smart cards. This battery uses a thin-film which makes it an attractive feature for many portable devices that draws a low current. http://www.physorg.com/news172241467.html Technology Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:52:18 EST news172241467 Antennas for the latest implanted medical devices are being developed by Queen Mary University of London and tested through a unique piece of kit at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL). http://www.physorg.com/news171620414.html Technology Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:30:01 EST news171620414
