Electronic Product Code The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is designed as a universal identifier that provides a unique identity for every physical object anywhere in the world, for all time. Its structure is defined in the EPCglobal Tag Data Standard [1], which is an open standard freely available for download from the website of EPCglobal, Inc.. The canonical representation of an EPC is a URI, namely the 'pure-identity URI' representation that is intended for use when referring to a specific physical object in communications about EPCs among information systems and business application software. The EPCglobal Tag Data Standard also defines additional representations of an EPC identifier, such as the tag-encoding URI format and a compact binary format suitable for storing an EPC identifier efficiently within RFID tags (for which the low-cost passive RFID tags typically have limited memory capacity available for the EPC/UII memory bank). EPCs are not designed exclusively for use with RFID data carriers.

Slope One Slope One is a family of algorithms used for collaborative filtering, introduced in a 2005 paper by Daniel Lemire and Anna Maclachlan.[1] Arguably, it is the simplest form of non-trivial item-based collaborative filtering based on ratings. Their simplicity makes it especially easy to implement them efficiently while their accuracy is often on par with more complicated and computationally expensive algorithms.[1][2] They have also been used as building blocks to improve other algorithms.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] They are part of major open-source libraries such as Apache Mahout and Easyrec. Item-based collaborative filtering of rated resources and overfitting[edit] When ratings of items are available, such as is the case when people are given the option of ratings resources (between 1 and 5, for example), collaborative filtering aims to predict the ratings of one individual based on his past ratings and on a (large) database of ratings contributed by other users. ). ).

Home - TakkTile Ovidiu Vermesan: Workshop on Smart Object Security, 23rd March 2012, Paris Workshop on Smart Object Security, 23rd March 2012, Paris: "Early 2011, the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) solicited position statements for a workshop on 'Interconnecting Smart Objects with the Internet', aiming to get feedback from the wider Internet community on their experience with deploying IETF protocols in constrained environments. The workshop took place in Prague on March, 25th, 2011. During the workshop a range of topics were discussed, including architecture, routing, energy efficiency, and security. The workshop report summarizes the discussion and suggested several next steps." "During the months following the workshop indeed a number of IETF initiatives were started, IETF participants submitted Internet drafts, and hands-on code hacking events at IETF 81 and 80 were organized to better facilitate the exchange of ideas. 1.

Technology - Sensinode Ltd Sensinode is a technology leader for the Internet of Things, offering the latest open standard IP and Web technology optimized for constrained devices and networks. Sensinode is actively developing and promoting open standards at the IETF, ZigBee, ETSI and the IPSO Alliance. In a nutshell, this technology makes the Internet of Things possible by greatly reducing the complexity and overhead of key Internet and Web protocols. The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) enables web services for even the most constrained devices and networks, while integrating with the web architecture and HTTP. If you're interested to learn more about 6LoWPAN's significant advantages and understand the technology more thoroughly, we recommend you to take a closer look at the enclosed video. In this seminar video Zach Shelby introduces his new book and gives an overview of The Internet of Things and 6LoWPAN protocols (1h 20min). There is a lot to learn about 6LoWPAN, CoAP and the Internet of Things.

'LikeBelt' Prototype Lets You Update Facebook with a Hip Thrust | Gadget Lab Wear the LikeBelt to hip-thrust your way to real-world Facebook liking. Image: Deeplocal Facebook has permeated practically every nook and cranny of the online experience. In fact, one’s attached to the article you’re reading now. Well, get ready for Facebook ubiquity to seep into the real world. “There used to be simple ways of saying you like things, like thumbs up, high fives, or humping,” Nathan Martin, CEO of Deeplocal, told Wired. Yes, you read that correctly: humping. As the video below demonstrates, the LikeBelt lets you like things in the real world by thrusting your hips at strategically placed NFC chips. “We wanted to explore NFC and think more creatively about what can be done with it besides just purchasing,” Martin said. The LikeBelt is fairly simple, and you can make it yourself, says Deeplocal’s senior creative engineer Patrick Miller. The belt itself interacts with inexpensive RFID tags coded in an NFC format. The LikeBelt is a prototype, but can be made at home.
