Emerging Technologies white papers

• Integrating a Company Logo Into a Tag Antenna Design in RFID Applications
  Published February 2010

  Tatung University's Chi-Fang Huang, Yueh-Ching Lin and Ming-Fu Kuo present a design idea for how a company's logo can be incorporated into an RFID tag antenna, in order to protect the intellectual property (IP) of that firm's tag antenna design. This white paper discusses both antenna design simulation and tag performance evaluation. (5 pages)

• Cross-Docking: Addressing the Technology Gap to Improve Visibility
  Published January 2010

  Cross-docking can help company executives reduce inventory costs and trim delivery times. Traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology, however, does not offer the visibility and accountability to optimize cross-docking efficiency. TAKE Supply Chain's Jason Howton discusses the technology requirements of a next-generation cross-docking solution. (6 pages)

• The Promise of Organic Electronics: Previously Unimaginable Innovative Products
  Published October 2009

  Theorem's Forrest Sass discusses organic electronics, exploring a number of products utilizing the technology, including RFID tags, e-paper, organic transistors and memory, disposable electronics, paper substrates and OLEDs. Sass examines the market dynamics and size of organic electronics, as well as the improvements needed for organic cell technology, bilateral charge transport, AM and PM OLEDs, electroluminescence and more.

• Analysis of Characteristics and Reliability of Smart Card Data in Metropolitan Seoul
  Published July 2009

  The use of smart cards for fare payment in public transit has grown in Korea since their introduction in 1996; currently, the proportion of smart-card use in Seoul is more than 90 percent for buses and 75 percent for metros (urban railway systems). Jin-Young Park and Dong-Jun Kim of the Korea Transport Institute investigate the reliability of smart-card data, by comparing the number of Seoul metro station users indicated in smart-card data, with information obtained directly from the Seoul Metro Company.
