Since libraries first used RFID systems in the late 1990's, there is growing debate about the advantages and disadvantages of HF and UHF RFID systems. This study tries to explore practical issues in HF and UHF RFID systems especially in the areas of system characteristics and advantages and disadvantages affecting technology implementation to libraries. This study investigates the current status of RFID systems in Korean libraries, and analyzes the best practices of four libraries(two libraries in HF and two libraries in UHF respectively). Also, this study describes functional characteristics of HF and UHF RFID systems, debates on frequencies in ISO/DIS 28560, and the opinions of both manufacturers which provide RFID systems to libraries and librarians who use HF and UHF RFID systems in their libraries.

Recently, the RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) technology has gained significant attention. One of the performance issues in RFID systems is to resolve the tag collision among responses from RFID tags. In this paper, we proposed a new scheme for estimation of the number of tags in the reader filed. The scheme is used by anti-collision algorithm to identify multiple tags efficiently. And we also present the simulation result that shows the proposed scheme to estimate tags efficiently and also to improve the systems efficiency.

Recently, Ubiquitous Computing to achieve intellectual service without being courted in time and spatial restriction based on developing computer network and Internet rapidly appeared. A RFID technology that process information of tag attaching in physical object by a point technology that enable this Ubiquitous Computing through radio frequency is noted. However, at this moment as for the studies related RFID, only the hardware studies related to tag and reader are being actively progressed and the studies related to software technologies to provide service in practice are not sufficient. In this paper, hereupon, I progressed study of software architecture that can handle RFID application service that is observed by Ubiquitous Computing's point technology efficiently. First, compares and analyze characteristic of conceptual application architectures that is used in EPC network architecture and application development and integration that was proposed in existing and suggested new architecture.

Due to the expense of health care and the need to contain costs, many stroke patients are discharged from hospitals while still in an impaired condition. Using Tele-rehabilitation, these patients can receive rehabilitation services remotely. A pegboard is a conventional rehabilitation therapeutic device that integrates cognition, sensation and hand motor function. This study proposes a Tele-rehabilitation content with automated pegboard and shows its functional feasibility. The evaluation of the pegboard session was automated with RFID (radio frequency identification), and a 16-hole pegboard was rapid-prototyped. After a pegboard session is completed, the session result is uploaded to a server automatically for viewing on a web browser by a remote therapist. The therapist can also send messages to remote patients to encourage them or to manage the rehabilitation process.

According to Korean Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs, total national SOC(Social Overhead Capital) stock comes up to 500 billion dollars. Until now, although the construction of SOC is more important than the maintenance of them in Korea, it is necessary to introduce of valuation based total asset management concept in nowadays. In this paper describes problems of exsiting data collection method, needs of Information Technology and introduction of RFID/USN(Radio Frequency IDentification/Ubiquitous Sensor Network) in data collection stage.

This paper proposed a new concept of information space called Smart Floor. Smart Floor is an intelligent space where a mobile robot can read and write specific information through Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags which are mounted on Smart Floor to drive its goal position. RFID tag packaging technology is described for building Smart Floor. Also a mobile robot equipped passive RFID System with ultra high frequency (UHF) bandwidth has developed. The information that consists of an absolute position in the Smart Floor and desired direction saved on RFID tags is a simulated Q-value based on Q-learning algorithm. Proposed Smart Floor will be a proper method to communicate between space and robot.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) is rapidly growing the attention of many firms as a care technology for their businesses. As RFID moves into the mainstream, it replaces the standard barcodes that is used to identify and track products for a long time. With the intention of gaining competitive advantages, some firms have started the changeover to RFID technology while others have been disinclined to adopt it. Thus, this study examines firms as an attempt to identify key organizational characteristics driving the ear1y adoption and successful implementation of RFID. Results from 228 adopting organizations show Organizational Needs(Ubiquity and Performance Gaps), Technological Factors(Perceived Benefits and Perceived Cost Savings) and RFID Reduced Risk have a significant influence on RFID initiation. In addition, Trust Factors(Institutional Trusts and Inter-organizational Trusts) have a significant impact on RFID Reduced Risk. Finally, Organizational Readiness(Financial Resources and Technological Knowledge) have a significant influence as moderating effects between RFID initiation and adoption. The implications of the findings propose a new theoretical framework for the future IT/IS adoption study and offer suggestions for RFID researchers and practitioners in the development of the technology.

Localization and its applications are very important area of the mobile robot technology. Especially, accurate localization is needed when we move the mobile robot to the goal position. In indoor cases, Global Positioning System(GPS) is not suitable but Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technology can provide position data to the robot. A proposed algorithm in this paper uses not only odometry data but also RFID data to improve estimation of true position of the robot with the particle filtering.

In this paper, we present a demodulation structure suitable for a reader baseband receiver in a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) environment. In a passive RFID configuration, an undesirable DC-offset phenomenon may appear in the baseband of the reader receiver, which can severely degrade the performance of the extraction of valid information from the received tag signal. To eliminate this DC-offset phenomenon, the primary feature of the proposed demodulation structures for the received FM0 and Miller subcarrier signals is to reconstruct the signal corrupted by the DC-offset phenomenon by creating peak signals from the corrupted signal. It is shown that the proposed method can successfully detect valid data, even when the received baseband signal is distorted by the DC-offset phenomenon.
