  2. Radio-frequency identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification

    A number of ski resorts have adopted RFID tags to provide skiers hands-free access to ski lifts. Skiers do not have to take their passes out of their pockets. Ski jackets have a left pocket into which the chip+card fits. This nearly contacts the sensor unit on the left of the turnstile as the skier pushes through to the lift.

  3. Wireless identification and sensing platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Identification...

    A wireless identification and sensing platform (WISP) is an RFID (radio-frequency identification) device that supports sensing and computing: a microcontroller powered by radio-frequency energy. [1] That is, like a passive RFID tag, WISP is powered and read by a standard off-the-shelf RFID reader, harvesting the power it uses from the reader's ...

  4. Automatic identification and data capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_identification...

    RFID has found its importance in a wide range of markets, including livestock identification and Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems because of its capability to track moving objects. These automated wireless AIDC systems are effective in manufacturing environments where barcode labels could not survive.

  5. Chip timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_timing

    Transponder timing (also called chip timing or RFID timing) is a technique for measuring performance in sport events. A transponder working on a radio-frequency identification (RFID) basis is attached to the athlete and emits a unique code that is detected by radio receivers located at the strategic points in an event.

  6. Chipless RFID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipless_RFID

    Chipless rfid operating principle. A. Vena, E. Perret, and S. Tedjini, 2013. Like various existing RFID technologies, chipless RFID tags are associated with a specific RF reader, which questions the tag and recovers the information contained in it. The operating principle of the reader is based on the emission of a specific electromagnetic (EM ...

  7. Contactless payment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactless_payment

    EMV contactless symbol used on compatible payment terminals. EMV stands for "Europay, Mastercard, and Visa", the three companies that created the standard.Contactless payment systems are credit cards and debit cards, key fobs, smart cards, or other devices, including smartphones and other mobile devices, that use radio-frequency identification (RFID) or near-field communication (NFC) for ...

  8. Singulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singulation

    Singulation is a method by which an RFID reader identifies a tag with a specific serial number from a number of tags in its field. This is necessary because if multiple tags respond simultaneously to a query, they will jam each other. In a typical commercial application, such as scanning a bag of groceries, potentially hundreds of tags might be ...

  9. Electronic Product Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Product_Code

    An EPC RFID tag used by Wal-Mart.. The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is designed as a universal identifier (using an idiosyncratic numerical code for each different commodity [1]) that provides a unique identity for every physical object anywhere in the world, for all time.
