Regulation and standardization

In this section, it is stated that the NFC payments use the ISO/IEC15693 standard, though the corresponding page only lists "public library" and "sky pass" tags, whereas the NFC contactless payments are listed on the ISO/IEC 14443 page. Thus, this should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.233.225.27 (talk) 20:36, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd correct it if I knew exactly which content should be altered. It might be that the ISO/IEC 15693 page needs to list more examples rather than this article being edited. If you have expertise in this field, can I suggest you be bold and try editing the article page/s yourself. Meticulo (talk) 05:21, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Banner headline tags not helpful"

Wtshymanski, I've added "citation needed" tags to show where in the article verification seems lacking. I'm responding here to your query on my talk page because other editors might want some background to my tagging. I agree the article as it stands is overly detailed and fixated on trivia. It needs heavy cutting, which would also reduce the number of footnotes. Meticulo (talk) 11:51, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RFID localization for cancer surgery

Does anyone have time to add something on RFID localization for cancer surgery? The RFID tag is inserted next to the tumour underultrasound or CT guidance and the surgeon uses a detector to remove the adjacent tumor and the tag https://www.hologic.com/hologic-products/breast-health-solutions/localizer-wire-free-guidance-system Ta 208.127.199.229 (talk) 08:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of RFdump into Radio-frequency identification

Only about one reliable source for this topic however there are many passing mentions, merging into RFID makes sense. This article could also be deleted due to it being WP:UNDUE and/or WP:FRINGE because RFID seems immensely more popular than this subject. Ap m h 16:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Better that RFdump be deleted entirely - it is an ad, and there's never a need to list random debugging software for any article. --Wtshymanski (talk) 23:58, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, with no merge; added PROD. Klbrain (talk) 10:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Frequencies table

The frequencies table does not appear to mention the kind of tags used to track supermarket merchandise (and allow a fast track checkout). Even when not used in this 'smart' way, they are often to be found on higher value items such a bottles of spirits to prevent theft. These use passive tags that have a range of a few meters. They are also used for inventory tracking. Why are they missing from the table? FreeFlow99 (talk) 16:55, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-Is a single lawsuit notable enough? [[User:Hcobb|Hcobb]] ([[User talk:Hcobb|talk]]) 22:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

+=="Banner headline tags not helpful"==
-: A lawsuit by itself is not [[WP:notable]]. A lawsuit is a primary source, and WP needs a secondary source to tell us it is notable. That said, notability is a requirement for a separate article; it is not a requirement for inclusion in an existing article.
+[[User:Wtshymanski|Wtshymanski]], I've added "citation needed" tags to show where in the article verification seems lacking. I'm responding here to [[User_talk:Meticulo#Banner_headline_tags_not_helpful |your query on my talk page]] because other editors might want some background to my tagging.

[[User:Meticulo|Meticulo]] ([[User talk:Meticulo|talk]]) 11:51, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
-: The story you cite is not the lawsuit but rather an article about the controversy. If The Register is a reliable source, then it can be used to add information to an article. A google search turns up other sources for the story.
-: The question becomes does the story merit inclusion. I'm on the fence. The story has human interest and is growing, but WP is [[WP:NOTNEWSPAPER]]. The story is more about privacy in general than RFID. There are additional privacy issues: the badge barcode is apparently her Social Security Number. On the flip side, the WP article has a lot about RFID privacy issues: [[Radio-frequency identification#Privacy]]. Maybe that section will spin off.
-:: I would be shocked if the number of the card is her SSN. Schools are really not that lax with sensitive information. Read the article again... they say "correspond" to her SSN. There is a database, somewhere, that matches her RFID number to her SSN. -- [[User:Wguynes|Wguynes]] ([[User talk:Wguynes|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Wguynes|contribs]]) 20:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
-: Consequently, I'd say be [[WP:BRD|bold]] and put something about the story in the article -- but keep a neutral tone.
-: [[User:Glrx|Glrx]] ([[User talk:Glrx|talk]]) 17:45, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
-: Be aware that most of the headlines you'll find are incorrect. The student was disenrolled only after refusing an ID card ''without'' an RFID chip. Almost all articles claim, usually in the headline, that it was because she refused one ''with'' a chip. Very sensationalist, sells papers, but one would hope we at Wikipedia care about facts. See the copy of the letter from the district referenced in some of the articles for a direct reference to the disenrollment. It does no good to merely regurgitate bad journalism. -- [[User:Wguynes|Wguynes]] ([[User talk:Wguynes|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Wguynes|contribs]]) 20:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
+== RFID localization for cancer surgery ==
-The "Mark of the Beast" references Revelation 13.  The passage is not very specific as to what it is, and that therefore we cannot be very specific as to what it is not.  However, human identification is involved in this chapter, especially for economic ends, and, more broadly, for purposes of control.  The Book of Revelation is held authoritative, as it is in the canon, of all major divisions of the Christian Faith.  ([[User:John G. Lewis|John G. Lewis]] ([[User talk:John G. Lewis|talk]]) 16:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC))
+Does anyone have time to add something on RFID localization for cancer surgery?
-== Active RFID ==
+The RFID tag is inserted next to the tumour underultrasound or CT guidance and the surgeon uses a detector to remove the adjacent tumor and the tag
-Active RFID in my opinion is added into the article as if it is the same technology as passive RFID with a battery. This is factually incorrect. What is know as active RFID is a very different technology. It operates in a different way and has a number of features that is not applicable to passive RFID. Active RFID is an electronic tag that includes an microprocessor and transmitter circuit. The tag is battery powered and provided a continues modulation control signal which transmits a unique identification and other data. The invention also included a receiver that receive the transmissions from the tag.

(25:10 minutes) Don Small, VP Marketing and Business Development, HID Corporation, Irvine, California, Leaders in the Passive RFID world, provides an explanation about the difference between active and passive RFID and why HID is interested in the technology.

-: WP is not a reliable source, so it cannot be used to support an RFID invention claim. Rode's patent is 12 years after Cardullo's 1972 patent.
