In general the tickets are essential to buy goods and take services, which are used in various fields of modern society, and there have been several types of tickets such as a paper and an RFID chip. However, the conventional system has a problem like a loss of ticket or forge. thus there have many efforts to compensate the problem. In this paper, by improving the conventional system through the connection between a smart-phone with a server system, a smart ticketing system without paper tickets is proposed. The proposed system can support efficient services for managers and users in terms of timesaving and reliability. The proposed system can be applied in various similar fields requiring a ticket system.

The objective of this paper is to propose the bus information system that provides bus passenger number. Recently, we use a bus conveniently through introduction of bus information system offering location-based information. However, we need additional information for decision making in order to use a bus comfortably. To do this, first, we analyzed the needs of providing passenger number; second, we adopted GPS and RFID type's transportation card to get location and passenger number. Finally, we implemented the system displaying that information by three types, and tested it. Our proposed system has advantages to use a bus comfortably and to manage a bus efficiently by providing bus passenger number which is the important element for decision making as well as location based information provided by existing bus information systems.

Smart card has a small sized micro computer chip. This chip contains processor, RAM, ROM, clock, bus system and crypto-co-processor. Hence it is more expensive, complicated and secure chip compared with RFID tag. The main application area of smart card is e-banking and secure communications. There are two kinds of smart card platforms; open platform and closed one. Java card is the most popular open platform because of its security, platform independency, fast developing cycle. However, the speed of Java card is slower than other ones, hence there have been hot research topics to improve the performance of Java card. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction buffer management to improve the performance of Java card. The experimental result shows the advantage of our method.

In this paper, we proposed a broadband U-shaped RFID tag antenna with near-isotropic characteristic at UHF band. The proposed tag antenna is composed of the U-shaped half wavelength dipole and a rectangular shaped feed. The rectangular shaped feed that is located inside U-shaped dipole is connected for conjugate impedance matching with the commercial tag chip. A better constant gain deviation characteristic in the operating frequency band is achieved by inserting a rectangular slit in the lower center of the U-shaped antenna body. On the condition of VSWR<2, the tag antenna had the measured bandwidth of 10.36%, from 860.5 to 954.5 MHz, and 9.84%, from 864.5 to 954 MHz, for antenna without slit and with slit, respectively. On the condition of VSWR<5.8, the tag antennas had the measured bandwidth of 15.78%, from 835.5 to 979.5 MHz, and 15.89%, from 837 to 981.5 MHz, for antenna without slit and with slit, respectively. The difference between the maximum and minimum gain deviations of tag antenna without slit in the operating frequency band is 0.53 dB since the maximum and minimum gain deviations are 3.86 dB and 3.33 dB, respectively. Whereas the difference between the maximum and minimum gain deviations of tag antenna with slit in the operating frequency is 0.06 dB since the maximum and minimum gain deviations are 3.60 dB and 3.54 dB, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a RFID tag antenna with low performance degradation due to nearby dielectric materials. The proposed antenna is designed to be appropriate for ink printing fabrication. The antenna is designed to operate in UHF band of $860{\sim}960$ MHz. The antenna uses a T-matching network in the middle of the main body and two parasitic patches in vicinity for complex conjugate matching with a commercial tag chip. In addition, the two parasitic patches induce currents at different dielectric constants of nearby dielectric materials. This can minimize the performance degradation due to nearby dielectric materials. The measured results show the half power matching bandwidth from 844 MHT to 1,268 MHz. It exhibits the reading distance of about 3.5 m in free space when the tag antenna is used with the commercial reader antenna (transmitting power of 20 dBm and the reader antenna gain of 6 dBi). When the tag is attached on dielectric materials of wood and FR4, the resulting reading distances are 2.61 m and 2.51 m, respectively.

Labor attendance management has traditionally been carried out by writing a table for checking an attendance of labor, which requires a lot of time and effort. As electronic devices with additions such as barcodes, Quick Response codes, and Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) have been developed, however, automated labor attendance management systems have appeared. Recently, various types of labor recognition devices converged with biometrics (fingerprint, vein, face recognition, etc.) have been released. However, although these devices can be used to check attendance automatically, there is insufficient guidance when it comes to selecting the appropriate labor attendance management system for construction sites. Therefore, this study proposed a decision framework to determine which labor attendance management system would be suitable for a construction site and to select the labor recognition device. This study investigated different labor recognition devices, focusing on how they worked, and tested the performance of devices and their usability for construction labor attendance management. The test results showed that RFID is most suitable when verifying the attendance of many laborers over a short period of time. The devices for hand vein and fingerprint recognition did not function when there was a foreign material such as cement or paint on the laborer's hand, except for a deformed finger. Reflecting these test results, this study suggested a framework for selecting a labor attendance system and recognition device; this is expected to contribute to the development of more efficient labor management systems.

In this letter, we propose a novel printed helix antenna for RFID reader in UHF band. The printed strip line of the antenna is first wound up outside a polygonal shaped layer and then the winding continues on an inner layer to control the overall gain and the radiation pattern. In addition, the winding pitch angles on each layer have either negative or positive values resulting in the broad CP bandwidth. The detail structure of the antenna was optimized using Pareto genetic algorithm(GA), so as to obtain excellent performances for RFID reader antennas. The optimized two-layered polygonal helix was fabricated on the cardboard of a flexible substrate and the performances were measured and compared with the simulations. The fabricated antenna was made up of copper tape which can adhere to a flexible cardboard and had 21.4 % matching bandwidth, 31.9 % CP bandwidth, readable range of $5.5m^2$ with kr=3.2. Also based on the current distribution of the strip line of the antenna and sensitivity of the antenna bents points, we confirmed that the antenna has the quarter-wave transformer near the feed for the broad matching bandwidth and radiates the traveling wave for the broad CP bandwidth using the bent strip line.

This study proposed a new optimization-based decision model for an enterprise resource planning and production scheduling of a pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturing plant. To do this work, we first define the inflow and outflow information as well as the model structure, and develop an optimization model to minimize the production time (i.e., makespan) using a mixed integer linear programing (MILP). The unique feature of the proposed model is that the optimal process scheduling is established based on real-time resource logistics information using a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, thereby theoretically requiring no material inventories. essential information for process operation, such as the required amount of raw materials and estimated arrival timing to manufacturing plant, is used as logistics constraints in the optimization model to yield the optimal manufacturing scheduling to satisfy final production demands. We illustrated the capability of the proposed decision model by applying the optimization model to two scheduling problems in a real pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturing process. As a result, the optimal production schedule and raw materials order timing were identified to minimize the makespan while satisfying all the product demands.

This paper describes separation distance to protect radiocommunication services from the interference of inductive systems using frequencies below 30 MHz for the co-existence between radiocommunication services and inductive systems. For the analysis, the interference scenario model is proposed between inductive system and radiocommunication services. Then the calculation method of protection distance is suggested by comparing the radiation power of inductive system with the allowable interference level of victim services, radiocommunication services, according to the applied propagation model. Also, the protection distance for protecting radiocommunication services in the 30 MHz below is calculated through the interference analysis from RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) and PDP(Plasma Display Panel) TV based on the suggested method. The proposed calculation method was adopted as ITU-R recommendation in related with resolution 63 at ITU-R SG(Study Group) 1 meeting in June, 2012. It will be available to use for the protection of radiocommunication services from the interference of wireless power transfer system and power line telecommunication system.
