Presently, it is estimated that RFID tags will replace bar codes, because one and the same tag can store the information carried by multiple bar codes. However, the current needs require a greater storage capacity than that which is available at present. At the same time, there is a strong relationship between price and storage capacity: larger memory capacities directly increase the cost per tag. The present paper presents several solutions aiming at optimizing the information storage of RFID tags. These solutions allow users managing RFID applications to capture additional information and enable a range of new application efficiencies and intelligence.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115970490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the main idea is monitoring vital body signs by placing the electronic devices into a garment in a compact way. Among many vital body signs, posture, respiration rate and body activities like walking, running have been monitored. The measurements have been performed with a MEMS based accelerometer which is widely used in many applications. The electronic components have been placed into the fabric to form the ARF-Shirt to monitor vital body signs. Collected data from 10 subjects with ARF-Shirt system have been transmitted by RF transmission and monitored in real-time. After forming the ARF-Shirt, data were collected from subjects and then analyzed with Labview. The characteristic amplitude and frequency ranges were obtained for each activity.

Die bonding concepts to meet future demands for high-throughput solutions at low cost are introduced. Since the range of process parameters such as temperatures and bonding forces is closely linked to the properties of the substrates, an overview of different materials that can be used as flexible substrates is given. Material properties are compared and different processes for metallisation and structuring are described. Furthermore, the multi-stage tag production process is illustrated. Introducing straps, in order to decouple the pre-bonding and final bonding process steps, permits improvement of the achievable throughput and usage of very simple equipment for final assembly-Using these methods, a new type of UHF-ID tag based on thin polymer foil was produced. A unique antenna design matches different impedances and allows the tags to be mounted on different materials with little influence on their read range. Their tenuousness and flexibility allows to hide these tags, for example in cardboard packaging. Possible applications with focus on detecting plagiarism are discussed.","PeriodicalId":240968,"journal":{"name":"2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129703539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present work is to construct a new stochastic model which treats burn-in, warranty and maintenance strategies together in order to define coordinated strategies for system design and management.
