As attackers grow smarter, so must defense.<br /><br />Sheng Shen, professor of Mechanical Engineering, along with collaborators at Penn State University, have <a href="https://phys.org/news/2024-03-micro-mirage-fabricate-world-smallest.html">developed</a> a pixel-by-pixel approach to visible camouflage with hopes of scaling it for enhanced infrared surveillance, optical security, and anti-forgery protections. The research is published in the journal Science Advances.<br /><br />'Our collaborators came to us with brochosomes—a 'magic' structure leafhoppers produce to create a cloak effect to hide from predators,' Shen said. 'We wanted to understand brochosomes' optical limitations to see what more we could do with them.'<br /><br />Brochosomes are 3D soccer ball-like objects with nanoscale cavities that internally absorb light rather than reflect it onto outside structures. In nature, biologists suspect that this allows leafhoppers to blend in with their background.<br /><br />To test functionality, the team simulated two different versions of the structure, one with cavities for light absorption and one without.<br /><br />There is a fundamental law in physics that if a structure is a good absorber of energy it can emit an equal amount of energy, explained Zhuo Li, Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon. 'We quickly realized that if we put both structures together one would emit more energy than the other. That would make one appear brighter to an infrared camera than the other.'</p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145435902376081560.post-54902449060818158092024-03-11T00:30:00.000+01:002024-03-11T00:30:00.132+01:00Scanbot SDK's new RTU UI v.2.0 makes integrating barcode scanning into mobile apps easier <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDT_PnIjwWRIPnWPEo7JFH7TEdiArr5j2LbBaqlN8uCcC8_dYvmJiM4lG2lXBEsdoO4piRxHZEJ4sES3uS-SJD0dd9BitV24Ou51p11UbM3geqn2gUHrz20dx9lsBMB3SYWb4rRFHOJ-hnXbkq5dne1J7Y2FVCBYZe2sI7zEJ6jUL3afOoqIxEn1fVspFK/s400/125144382b723f033e7341096f5f197f.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="189" data-original-width="400" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDT_PnIjwWRIPnWPEo7JFH7TEdiArr5j2LbBaqlN8uCcC8_dYvmJiM4lG2lXBEsdoO4piRxHZEJ4sES3uS-SJD0dd9BitV24Ou51p11UbM3geqn2gUHrz20dx9lsBMB3SYWb4rRFHOJ-hnXbkq5dne1J7Y2FVCBYZe2sI7zEJ6jUL3afOoqIxEn1fVspFK/s320/125144382b723f033e7341096f5f197f.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>Scanbot SDK has significantly <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scanbot-sdks-rtu-ui-v-150000022.html">improved</a> the Ready-to-Use UI Components of its Barcode Scanner SDK for iOS and Android.

Prepaid cards, also referred to as daily cards, are a plastic substitute for carrying cash. Cash, cheques, and other payment cards have been replaced with prepaid cards in situations when customers or businesses wish to make payments electronically without having to link the payment to a credit or debit account.<br /><br />Prepaid cards are also a good substitute for standard banking goods for those who don't have bank accounts or would rather have greater control over their spending because they're frequently used for online shopping, travel, and budgeting. Furthermore, because prepaid cards let recipients choose how to utilise the money, they're widely employed as employee incentives and gift cards. This industry grows considerably around holidays and noteworthy events.<br /><br />The prepaid card market is driven by multiple strong variables that impact its dynamics. Growing remittance demand has been a major factor in the prepaid card market's expansion. As more individuals live and work abroad, there is an increasing need for practical and affordable ways to send money home.<br /><br />Prepaid cards minimise the hassles and costs involved with traditional money transfer methods while providing recipients with an easy way to access funds. In addition to usually offering favourable exchange rates, these cards offer a secure means of making international payments. Furthermore, consumers' growing desire for cash substitutes fuels the growth of the prepaid card market as they look for convenient, secure, and adaptable payment options that offer these advantages.<br /><br />However, because both consumers and businesses are worried about possible data breaches, unauthorized transactions, and identity theft in the prepaid card market, security and privacy concerns might seriously impede the expansion of the prepaid card market. The payment system loses credibility when fraudulent transactions occur using prepaid card information.<br /><br />Concerns concerning their potential use in illegal activities are also raised by the anonymous character of certain prepaid cards. Under certain conditions, insufficient regulatory oversight may make these worries more acute. To thrive, prepaid card firms need to give top priority to strong security protocols, open data management procedures, and efficient fraud prevention strategies. Additionally, the rivalry from mobile payments is impeding the prepaid card market's expansion.<br /><br />In recent years, the adoption of contactless payment methods has become a significant trend in the prepaid card market. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows users to make secure and convenient transactions by simply tapping their prepaid cards on compatible terminals. This trend aligns with the broader movement towards a cashless society, offering users a faster and more seamless payment experience. As contactless infrastructure continues to expand globally, prepaid cards equipped with NFC capabilities are expected to become even more prevalent.<br /><br />The integration of prepaid cards with mobile wallets has emerged as a powerful trend, catering to the increasing reliance on smartphones for financial transactions. Mobile wallet applications enable users to store and manage their prepaid card information digitally, providing added convenience. This trend aligns with the broader shift towards digital financial ecosystems, where users can seamlessly switch between various payment methods, including prepaid cards, within a unified mobile platform. As mobile wallet adoption continues to rise, the integration of prepaid cards with these platforms is expected to become more sophisticated and user-friendly.<br /><br />The rise of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies is influencing the prepaid card market, introducing new possibilities and enhancing security measures. Some prepaid card providers now offer cryptocurrency-linked cards, allowing users to spend their digital assets in traditional retail environments. Blockchain technology is also being explored for enhancing the transparency and traceability of prepaid card transactions, addressing concerns related to fraud and security. As the regulatory landscape around cryptocurrencies evolves, the integration of blockchain technology with prepaid cards is likely to shape new avenues for secure and decentralized financial transactions.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145435902376081560.post-38142876028518512972024-03-05T00:00:00.000+01:002024-03-05T00:00:00.132+01:00Finalists Announced for the 18th Annual RFID Journal Awards<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxb6I9pn1Bv7an_tvnAelS6QE9mDAzbyXDMUhcK2zbNX2Tw0G-KpzaqsWSMUq8v_No7SiFhA_hoxcaSkBNQ8DuEocmc-fhYMnOz16sgXL4Z-3WINYDY22ebrC1pNrS6V9cV-HQ92qB_ObIX0Roc_k7rgLBfqTiNhyphenhyphenYOcE4kbBB7c4ulfPvXOM9HoZebQr/s960/las-vegas-82319_960_720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxb6I9pn1Bv7an_tvnAelS6QE9mDAzbyXDMUhcK2zbNX2Tw0G-KpzaqsWSMUq8v_No7SiFhA_hoxcaSkBNQ8DuEocmc-fhYMnOz16sgXL4Z-3WINYDY22ebrC1pNrS6V9cV-HQ92qB_ObIX0Roc_k7rgLBfqTiNhyphenhyphenYOcE4kbBB7c4ulfPvXOM9HoZebQr/s320/las-vegas-82319_960_720.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This year’s RFID Journal Awards finalists have been <a href="https://www.rfidjournal.com/finalists-announced-for-the-18th-annual-rfid-journal-awards">revealed</a> by RFID Journal, the leading source of news and information regarding radio frequency identification (RFID).

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the implementation of SATO's PJM RFID solution into the healthcare sector, significantly improving Medacta's operational efficiency and setting a new benchmark for accuracy and innovation in orthopaedic care.<br /><br />Medacta faced challenges in managing resources for orthopaedic surgeries. To improve efficiency, the company turned to SATO's PJM RFID technology as a replacement for their existing barcode system which was laborious and time consuming. SATO's technology is designed to resolve such challenges.<br /><br />Unlike other UHF and HF tags, SATO's radiation hardened D-chip memory allows for tagged products to be sterilized via gamma irradiation, which would render most tags useless. This step makes it possible to tag products at a single location—the factory—and track them across all Medacta facilities worldwide throughout their lifetime.<br /><br />The open standard ISO 18000-3 for HF RFID phase jitter modulation (PJM) utilizes is designed for high-speed bulk conveyor-fed item-level identification. This technology enables the batch reading of multiple tags densely stacked in various configurations in medical flight cases with unparalleled precision. This efficiency is achieved by avoiding double readings of products, leading to a remarkable improvement in operational efficiency at Medacta's headquarters; more than 30% since the implementation resulting in a reducing staffing cost.<br /><br />This shift has resulted in a 100% accuracy rate in inventory management. In international markets where the technology has been rolled out, including multiple countries in Europe including Italy, the United States, and Japan, it has achieved efficiency improvements ranging from 5% to 15%.<br /><br />In the future, the tagging of loan kits could unlock even greater efficiencies and accuracy if expanded to more to more touchpoints across the vendor intralogistics system. Currently, gate readers are employed for the inbound and outbound stocktakes of individual products at Medacta’s factory and warehouses.<p></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145435902376081560.post-12626366250426957192024-03-01T01:00:00.001+01:002024-03-01T01:00:00.137+01:00Digimarc Collaborates with GS1 to Advance GS1 Digital Link<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7x3Bog4XzumYQboKy1aUk_ku97VLDGynLdWXZC8kqV5mQiIAcrK3x4XgDE5QfQyzFEPs0V0NGWccVYvdriaXJkuCtTdTOsspZv3lsfJ7PaAps3lJPtZ_UdxD5m0TpTzQHWZpupxhzZ21oMjDnu92ctGHM9tz4G2HnkPrhgA_FhXLvBtuFIqmJKI3FTm6U/s494/Screenshot%202024-02-22%20at%204.47.39%E2%80%AFPM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="263" data-original-width="494" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7x3Bog4XzumYQboKy1aUk_ku97VLDGynLdWXZC8kqV5mQiIAcrK3x4XgDE5QfQyzFEPs0V0NGWccVYvdriaXJkuCtTdTOsspZv3lsfJ7PaAps3lJPtZ_UdxD5m0TpTzQHWZpupxhzZ21oMjDnu92ctGHM9tz4G2HnkPrhgA_FhXLvBtuFIqmJKI3FTm6U/s320/Screenshot%202024-02-22%20at%204.47.39%E2%80%AFPM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Digimarc Corporation celebrates the <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240220667413/en/Digimarc-Collaborates-with-GS1-to-Advance-GS1-Digital-Link">release</a> of the GS1-Conformant Resolver standard by GS1, a leading not-for-profit global standards organization. Digimarc pioneered the open standard to provide critical functionality and to help advance industry adoption of the GS1 Digital Link standard. <p></p><p>With the GS1-Conformant Resolver standard, a GS1 Digital Link can be redirected to multiple sources of information – creating a universal way for applications to request specific information about a product.<br /><br />The GS1 Digital Link standard upgrades traditional barcodes, currently scanned over 10 billion times per day, so every product can connect to the web, be smartphone-interactive, and transact with point-of-sale systems. With the industry poised to adopt GS1 Digital Link-enabled barcodes at scale in 2027, the added functionality provided by technology like the GS1-Conformant Resolver standard is critical to adoption by companies across industries. For example, a consumer with a peanut allergy can now use a smartphone app or fitness tracker to request nutritional facts about a product by scanning an on-package code containing a GS1 Digital Link. Similarly, a retailer can use a supply chain scanner to request recall information for a specific product by scanning a GS1 Digital Link code on a pallet in a warehouse.<br /><br /></p>blognewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670057475929109413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145435902376081560.post-4301341551413832012024-03-01T01:00:00.000+01:002024-03-01T01:00:00.136+01:00Portable 2D barcode tube reader released<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxUCaP4zJEMxxLyBxsa9xhJFFMTLfOQJaSw8C-oeVOPdCAY4YxwGM7t-72BhfOMNBWb-ro3nh1_SRSeBY0KDE9xEu28ZRv9K-rdPGRhIhLQSV8Pkbek56NiS_UKd9_GpVh1iGQkEY7gfDHI3o0_5mpZLBPc5wU20JQISVkqNC8aaOyQ4n0E86hf0lajaQ/s470/800w_AzentaC&IPR8-imageA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="470" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxUCaP4zJEMxxLyBxsa9xhJFFMTLfOQJaSw8C-oeVOPdCAY4YxwGM7t-72BhfOMNBWb-ro3nh1_SRSeBY0KDE9xEu28ZRv9K-rdPGRhIhLQSV8Pkbek56NiS_UKd9_GpVh1iGQkEY7gfDHI3o0_5mpZLBPc5wU20JQISVkqNC8aaOyQ4n0E86hf0lajaQ/s320/800w_AzentaC&IPR8-imageA.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Azenta Life Sciences introduces the <a href="https://www.labmate-online.com/news/laboratory-products/3/ziath-ltd/portable-2d-barcode-tube-reader/62140">Ziath Handheld 2</a>, a portable and compact 2D barcode tube reader designed to deliver rapid and accurate readings of individual 2D barcoded sample tubes.
