Abstract: An RFID system and tag, and a method for identifying objects using an RFID system are disclosed. In an embodiment, an RFID tag comprises a microchip for storing an identification sequence, a tag antenna coupled with the microchip for receiving and transmitting the RF signal; and a ferrous metal portion disposed near the IC and the tag antenna. The ferrous metal portion is sensitive to, and heats up when subjected to, magnetic induction. The heat of the ferrous metal is propagated to the RFID tag such that the tag reaches its operating temperature more quickly.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein generally relates to methods and systems for controlling access to services and more specifically relates to a method and a system for controlling access to a variety of services within security sensitive sites. In one embodiment, the invention provides a system for controlling access to a plurality of services within an area, each service of the plurality of services being associated with a service identifier identifying the service, the system comprising: at least one service device storing a service identifier for identifying a service among the plurality of services, each service device covering a proximity zone within the area and being capable of activating the service identifier stored by the service device for the user, in response to the detection of a user in the proximity zone; and an access control subsystem to control the access of a user to a service identified by a service identifier activated for the user.
