Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring. The electronic device includes a functional module arranged to provide an active function, a communication module arranged to communicate with an external communication device, and an energy harvesting module arranged to transform a source energy from an external source to electrical energy for energising both the communication module and the functional module.

Abstract: A wearable non-contact communication device comprising a non-contact reader arranged to read an electronic marker and transmit information associated with the electronic marker to a user accessible device; wherein the reader includes a resilient antenna arranged to communicate with the electronic marker when the resilient antenna is engaged to the user.

Abstract: A radio frequency communication device comprising: a conductive loop being electrically connected to an integrated circuit arrangement; and a pair of opposing conductors extending away from the conductive loop and the integrated circuit arrangement; wherein at least a portion of the pair of opposing conductors or the conductive loop is frangible.

Abstract: An access control system comprising a first detector, a second detector, and a processor. The first detector is operable to detect presence of a subject in proximity of the access control system. The second detector operable to detect an object identifier associated with an object carried by the subject in proximity of the access control system. The processor is operably connected with the first detector and the second detector. The processor is operable to receive, from the first detector, a first signal indicative of the detection of the presence of the subject, and receive, from the second detector, a second signal containing the detected object identifier. During operation, the processor is arranged to determine that an access event has occurred when it receives both the first signal and the second signal.
