Recent technological advances have multiplied the variety of biologgers used in wildlife research, particularly with small-bodied animals. Passive integrated transponders (PIT) have been used for decades to log visits of tagged animals at reader-equipped artificial feeders or roost boxes. More recently, novel miniaturized sensor nodes can collect data on social encounters among tagged individuals in any location. Combining these systems allows researchers to gather high-resolution tracking data on certain individuals from their long-term PIT-tagged animal populations. However, there can be a risk of interference among tracking systems. Here we tested whether placing an additional biologging sensor on top of a PIT tag might attenuate the magnetic field reaching the PIT tag and, in turn, hamper reading success of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader. We also evaluated data transmission by a digital sensor node in the presence of a magnetic field created by the RFID antenna. The combination of this RFID system and wireless biologging sensors works without error, suggesting that the simultaneous use of PIT tags and other digital biologgers, e.g., miniaturized GPS-loggers, should also work together properly when communication channels do not overlap. The combination of long-term monitoring with PIT tags and short-term tracking with biologging sensor nodes creates exciting new opportunities to gather rich social data when individuals are not present at RFID reader stations.

In order to put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in a hybrid system, this paper presents the design and implementation of a RFID reader/router that can obtain information of both RFID tags and WSN sensor nodes and transmit the information through the WSN to the PC server. The RFID reader and WSN router are combined with both hardware and software. In hardware structure, CC2530 is used as micro controller and RF module for ZigBee wireless communication, and MF RC522 is used as reader RF chip. The software deals with both identity and sensing information and controls the routing. Experiment results show that the RFID reader/router achieves long distance identification, flexibility, scalability, and low cost. It also provides reliable and secured data transmission and broadens the communication range and application scope of RFID readers.

This paper introduces a prototype of ClothFace technology, a battery-free textile-based handwriting recognition platform that includes an e-textile antenna and a 10 × 10 array of radio frequency identification (RFID) integrated circuits (ICs), each with a unique ID. Touching the textile platform surface creates an electrical connection from specific ICs to the antenna, which enables the connected ICs to be read with an external UHF (ultra-haigh frequency) RFID reader. In this paper, the platform is demonstrated to recognize handwritten numbers 0–9. The raw data collected by the platform are a sequence of IDs from the touched ICs. The system converts the data into bitmaps and their details are increased by interpolating between neighboring samples using the sequential information of IDs. These images of digits written on the platform can be classified, with enough accuracy for practical use, by deep learning. The recognition system was trained and tested with samples from six volunteers using the platform. The real-time number recognition ability of the ClothFace technology is demonstrated to work successfully with a very low error rate. The overall recognition accuracy of the platform is 94.6% and the accuracy for each digit is between 91.1% and 98.3%. As the solution is fully passive and gets all the needed energy from the external RFID reader, it enables a maintenance-free and cost-effective user interface that can be integrated into clothing and into textiles around us.

Sistem pengaman sepeda motor menggunakan radio frequency identification (RFID) dan notifikasi melalui handphone yang dikontrol dengan modul Arduino Uno telah dirancang bangun. RFID terdiri dari sebuah RFID tag dan RFID reader. RFID tag yang memiliki kode yang berbeda-beda, digunakan sebagai kunci untuk menghidupkan sepeda motor setelah kunci kontak digunakan. RFID reader dapat membaca tag pada jarak maksimal 1,26 cm. Sepeda motor yang dihidupkan tanpa menggunakan RFID tag atau RFID tag tidak sesuai menyebabkan aktifnya reed switch pada pelek roda depan. Ketika roda telah berputar sebanyak empat kali, maka alarm aktif dan GSM SIM 800L mengirimkan notifikasi berupa SMS sebanyak satu kali dan misscall sebanyak tiga kali ke nomor handphone pemilik sepeda motor. Waktu delay rata-rata SMS dan miscall berturut-turut adalah 5,42 s, 8,62 s, 61,14 s dan 113,16 s. Kata kunci: sistem pengaman sepeda motor, RFID, Arduino Uno , reed switch, GSM SIM 800L

Peningkatan jumlah kendaraan bermotor berbanding lurus dengan jumlah pencurian kendaraan bermotor itu sendiri. Para produsen sepeda motor hanya mengandalkan kunci kontak dan kunci stang untuk pengaman sepeda motor dari pencurian. Metode konvensional ini sangat muda untuk dijebol. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) adalah metode pengamanan dengan menggunakan tag (transponder) sebagai penanda identitas sebuah benda atau kepemilikan sebuah benda. Berbeda dengan kartu ATM atau smart card lainnya penggunaan RFID tidak perlu kontak langsung  dengan pembaca atau readernya, sehingga faktor kerusakan tag/kartu RFID dapat dihindari. Dengan memadukan Tag, RFID Reader dan Mikrokontroler AT89SS8253, rangkaian relay dan motor servo dapat dibangun sebuah pengaman sepeda motor yang lebih handal. Pada kondisi sepeda motor mati pengaman ini akan aktif artinya semua perangkat sepeda motor tidak dapat digunakan dari rem, gas, saluran minyak dan lain- lain. Ketika seseorang mencoba untuk memutus hubungan kabel kunci kontak maka sistema alarm akan aktif dengan ditandai bunyi alarm dan klakson serta semua lampu akan hidup. Sedangkan rem, klose, gas, gigi tidak dapat digunakan. Begitu juga saluran minyak dari tangki ke mesin terputus.

A novel compact circular polarization (CP) microstrip antenna is proposed for UHF ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. The proposed antenna is composed of a corner truncated square-ring radiating patch on a substrate and a vertical slotted ground surrounding four sides of the antenna. A new feeding scheme is designed from flexible impedance matching techniques. The impedance bandwidths for S11<-10 dB and 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth are 12.1% (794.5–896.5 MHz) and 2.5% (833.5–854.5 MHz), respectively.

The state-of-the-art tracking technologies, such as the global positioning system (GPS) and the radio frequency identification (RFID), lend themselves well to applications in relatively open areas, while falling short of accuracy and reliability in indoor or partially covered application settings due to signal blockage, distortion or deterioration. This research aims to address this challenge in construction engineering by exploring a cost-effective positioning methodology to realize automated and continuous tracking of construction resources. The emerging ZigBee-based wireless sensor networks (WSN) technology is introduced. A framework of WSN application is proposed for indoor construction resources tracking, which consists of a group of stationary and mobile sensor nodes that can communicate with one another. Real-time locations of the mobile nodes can be determined by applying the localization method based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and geometric trilateration.

One of the problems in the criminal case completions is that the difficulty of making decision to estimate when the settlement of the case file will be fulfilled. It is caused by the number of case files handled and detention time changing. Therefore, the fast and accurate information is needed. The research aims to develop a monitoring system tracking and tracking of scheduling rules using Rule Based Expert Systems method with 17 rules, and supported by Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) in the form of computer applications. Based on the output of the system, an analysis is performed in the criminal case settlement process with a set of IF-THEN rules. The RFID reader read the data of case files through radio wave signals emitted by the antenna toward active-Tag attached in the criminal case file. The system is designed to monitor the tracking and tracing of RFID-based scheduling rules in realtime way that was built in the form of computer application in accordance with the system design. This study results in no failure in reading active tags by the RFID reader to detect criminal case files that had been examined. There were many case files handled in three different location, they were the constabulary, prosecutor, and judges of district court and RFID was able to identify them simultaneously. So, RFID supports the implementation of Rule Based Expert Systems very much for realtime monitoring in criminal case accomplishment.
