NEC Succeeds in Development of New Gate System Enabling Highly Accurate Scanning of Multiple UHF RFID Tags.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 19, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Corporation announced the development of a new gate system* that enables the collective scanning of multiple UHF (Ultra High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. In the U.S., analog television has used UHF channels 52 to 69 in the 700 MHz band. RFID tags with a high degree of accuracy. The new gate system can be applied to inspection systems in manufacturing lines and inventory control systems in supply chain management, and will be launched world wide by the end of this year. Existing UHF RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. gate systems show a 10 to 20% scanning error rate when multiple packages with RFID tags is scanned, making practical application difficult. However by employing proprietary technology that utilizes the reflection of radio waves Radio waves Electromagnetic energy of the frequency range corresponding to that used in radio communications, usually 10,000 cycles per second to 300 billion cycles per second. , NEC has realized a new gate system, which achieves highly accurate scanning of multiple RFID tags and a reduction in scanning errors of RFID tags on adjacent manufacturing lines, dramatically enhancing the accuracy of collective RFID scanning. 1. Highly Accurate Collective Scanning Enabled by Use of Radio Wave Reflection Unlike existing gate systems that shoot radio waves from antennas to RFID tags directly, NEC's new gate system employs a novel radio wave reflection method whereby radio waves are shot indirectly from antennas to RFID tags via reflector reflector: see telescope. plates, allowing a drastic improvement in collective scanning of RFID tags. Moreover, this enables the scanning of RFID tags on packages containing liquids or metal, which has been difficult to achieve with conventional gate systems. 2. Control of Scanning Errors of RFID Tags on Adjacent Lines A reduction in radio wave leakage has been achieved by placing reflector plates on both sides of the inside of the gate. In addition, as the antenna is located in the upper part of the gate the distance between the antenna and the gate exterior is double th at of conventional systems, enabling a large reduction in radio wave leakage. Both of these measures prevent the misreading MISREADING, contracts. When a deed is read falsely to an illiterate or blind man, who is a party to it, such false reading amounts to a fraud, because the contract never had the assent of both parties. 5 Co. 19; 6 East, R. 309; Dane's Ab. c. 86, a, 3, Sec. 7; 2 John.

As UHF RFIDs enable transmission distances of up to a maximum of 6 meters, they have been drawing attention in recent years as a measure to improve the efficiency of logistics and supply chain management in the manufacturing industry. In the United States, many major distributors have already adopted UHF RFIDs and their use is expected to spread worldwide. NEC has verified the benefits of the new gate system by using it in the inspection line of NEC Personal Products for incoming and outgoing PCs, allowing it to gather information and know how about the system structure toward early commercialization. * The gate system includes an RFID reader/writer, an antenna, a controller and a gate.
