We developed hardware and software to perform exposure studies of the effects of certain RF electromagnetic fields on solid and liquid pharmaceuticals and biologics. The fields generated by our systems are similar to those emitted by RFID readers operating in the U.S. licensed HF and UHF bands (13.56 and 915 MHz, respectively). Our systems can expose drug samples (pharmac.....

A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system consists of readers (also called interrogators) and tags (or transponders). A typical system has a few readers, either stationary or mobile, and many tags, which are attached to objects, such as pallets, cartons, bottles, etc. A reader communicates with the tags in its wireless range and collects information about the objects.....

In one corner, a team of students and professors are huddled, working with a manufacturer of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to develop a more effective product. Across the room, a grad student pores over her laptop, learning how to most effectively replicate the physical characteristics of a specific company’s shipping and receiving environment. Smack in the m.....

The supply chain industry is one of the largest market segments served by the company where I work. A few short years ago it was virtually impossible to pick up a trade magazine and not find a feature article related to RFID. Industry pundits were predicting a massive rollout that would transform the entire industry. Driven largely by mandates from mass merchandisers and.....

The origin of the technology base that established the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Center of Excellence at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) can be traced to a project to find lost hearing aids. The concept was to place some small device in the molded portion of the hearing aid requiring no battery and no connection to the battery or electronics of the hearing.....

The application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to patient care in hospitals and healthcare facilities is just beginning to be accepted. The technology offers great potential benefits and is the next big step in identifying and tracking patients, objects, and assets, and speeds up or eliminates many manual operations in checking and processing patients. It can, f.....

The concepts supporting Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have been around for about 70 years. However, today the commercial implementation of RFID is a very popular subject in many areas of business and technology. There are two types of tags, active with an on board power source, and passive with no on board power source. The current popularity results from the abil.....

The deployment of passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) systems is increasing rapidly nowadays. In that process, handheld RFID reader units become increasingly important in various applications, such as in supply chain, warehouse and retail store management. Important requirements for the handheld reader unit are ergonomic size and weigh.....

Geared to general interest readers and entry-level practitioners, this paper takes an in-depth look at the elements of an RFID infrastructure, including its tags and readers and protocol layers, and the roles they play. History has taught us that a technology cannot and will not be deployed pervasively and globally without a robust set of standard protocols specified betw.....
