RFID Tags


RFID Tags is short for “radio frequency identification”, RFID Tags itself are a type of tracking system that uses smart barcodes in order to identify items. The radio waves transmit data from the tag to a reader, which then transmits the information to a RFID computer program. RFID Tags are usually used for marchandise, but they also can be used to track vehicles, pets, amd even patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
 
There are two types of RFID Tags: battery-operated and passive. Battery-operated RFID Tags or might also can be called active RFID Tags contain an onboard battery as a power supply, whereas a passive RFID Tags does not, instead working by using electromagnetic energy transmitted from an RFID reader. 

An active RFID Tags is constantly sending out a signal, it makes an excellent choice for those who looking for up-to-the-minute live tracking. They are an expensive product, but they do offer a long read range. The other hand, a passive RFID Tags are a much more economical choice than active RFID Tags, this makes them a popular choice for supply chain management, race tracking, file management, and acces control applications.

But, RFID Tags are not ideal compared to other tracking labels for a number of reasons. There is some problems with it, including different security and technological issues. Because an RFID tag cannot distinguish between readers, the information can be read by almost anyone, once it has left the original supplu chain. Another concern is that RFID Tags can be linked to individual credit cards, creating a potential for financial theft and fraud. These disadvantages are often avoided with the use of barcodes.

Artifical Neural Network

Artificial Neural Network  is a computational model based on the structure and functions of biological neural networks. Information that flows through the network affects the  a neural network changes or learns, based on that input and output. So the point is  to create a computational system that could solve problems like a human brain. The Neural Networks was founded by  Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943. Then it was upgraded with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 1975 by Kunijiko Fukushima called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) .   Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts Today  Neural Networks are important in information age, because help society to solve complex problems in real life condition. They can learn from model the relationships between inputs and outputs that are nonlinear and complex; make generalizations and inferences; reveal hidden relationships, patterns and predictions (such as financial time series data) and varianc...

A Thing called Ransomware

A Thing called Ransomware Ransom malware, or   ransomware , is a type of malware that prevents users from accessing their system or personal files and demands ransom payment in order to regain access. The earliest variants of ransomware were developed in the late 1980s, and payment was to be sent via snail mail. In this day, ransomware authors order that payment be sent via cryptocurrency or credit card. There are several different ways that ransomware can infect your computer. One of the most common methods today is through malicious spam, or  malspam , which is unsolicited email that is used to deliver malware. The email might include booby-trapped attachments, such as PDFs or Word documents. It might also contain links to malicious websites. Malspam uses  social engineering  in order to trick people into opening attachments or clicking on links by appearing as legitimate—whether that’s by seeming to be from a trusted institution or a friend. Cybercriminals...

Categories and Types of Artificial Intelligence

AI has 2 categories namely weak or strong. Weak AI also known as narrow AI. Weak AI is an AI system designed and trained for certain tasks. Weak AI can be a virtual personal assistant, like Apple Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Home. While strong AI, also known as general artificial intelligence, is an AI system with general human cognitive abilities. When a special task is presented, a strong AI system can find its own solution without human intervention. S trong AI acts more like a brain. It does not classify, but uses clustering and association to process data. In short, it means there isn’t a set answer to your keywords.  Beside that, an assistant professor of integrative biology and computer science engineering at Michigan State University, Arend Hintze, categorizes AI into 4 types, ranging from existing AI systems to AI systems that are still in design. The categories are as follows: Reactive machine. An example is Deep Blue, the IBM chess program that defeated Garr...
