A recent study from Brand Keys, a research consultancy focused on customer loyalty and engagement, found that while some consumers (20 percent) intend to spend less in 2010 and are questioning the "ethics around consumption," overall shoppers are simply being smarter about what - and how - they buy. Coupon redemption, the study says, is up 25 percent, and price really does matter.

Access control system uses the human body for signal transmission - 1 views

BodyCom is a new technology from Arizona-based Microchip that uses the human body as a secure communication channel. As the number of devices at our disposal continues to increase, authentication and security become more important than ever. The system communicates bi-directionally between a centralized controller and one or more wireless mobile fobs, using the human body as the transmission medium. So, a gun could only be used by the person with the right key fob, for example, or a pet door could be secured so only the right pet can open it. Neither RF antenna nor wireless transceiver are required by the system, which also offers low power consumption. Other potential applications include security systems, patient monitoring, and gaming profile management.
