New RFID Passive Tag Design Said to Cut Size by 25%, Reduce Costs

A new RFID passive tag design – the type of tag typically used in retail as well as many other applications – from engineers at North Carolina State University is said to result in tags that are 25% smaller than current versions and are therefore less...

NC State Shrinks RFID Tags

NC State researchers have come up with ways to create passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags that are not only 25% smaller but also cheaper than typical tags. Paul Franzon, Ph.D. students Wenxu Zhao and Kirti Bhanushali, engineering, featured.

RF-Only Logic Makes RFID Tags Tinier

Engineers at North Carolina State University have applied a new technology called RF-only logic to create passive RFID tags that are 25 percent smaller than today?s. And a smaller tag means a cheaper tag.

Tech Uses Hardware, Software to Train Dogs More Efficiently

NC State researchers have developed and used a customized suite of technologies that allows a computer to train a dog autonomously, with the computer effectively responding to the dog based on the dog’s body language. David Roberts, Alper Bozkurt et al.,...

3 tech-savvy pet products

NC State researchers have developed a device that allows a blind handler to identify their guide dog’s stress level in real time. This device is built into their harness and measures the dog’s heart and respiratory rate.

Can a computer train your dog?

NC State researchers have developed a computer system that can train a dog autonomously by using sensors to respond to a dog’s body language. Alper Bozkurt and David Roberts, engineering, featured.

IoT Goes to the Dogs

The Internet of Things (IoT) is everywhere: connected speakers, connected kitchen appliances, connected stuff you lost in your car. With this new project, the IoT has officially gone to the dogs. NC State researchers have developed a smart dog collar that does the...

Algorithm makes hyperspectral imaging faster

NC State and University of Delaware researchers have developed an algorithm that can quickly and accurately reconstruct hyperspectral images using less data. Hyperspectral imaging holds promise for use in fields ranging from security and defense to environmental...
