NFC opportunities in computers
NFC technology allows for exciting new possibilities in computers, including easy and secure access, quick pairing and interactive gaming.
Biometric signature authentication guards EMR access
Every hospital administrator, CFO and medical group CEO must comply with recent regulations from federal HIPAA and HITECH legislation, or risk forfeiting funds previously received from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Great emphasis is being placed on physicians and paramedical staff, as well as record keeping and insurance-billing departments, actually using the EMRs (Electronic Medical Records) as required.
Development board accelerates NFC implementation
The ArchiTech Louvre board is a platform to help engineers accelerate the implementation of Near Field Communications (NFC) in electronic devices. The demonstration and development board is based around the NXP LPC11U37 ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller (MCU) and the NXP NTAG I2C tag IC. It comes with firmware and sample Android applications, and source code is provided under GPL (the General Public License for the GNU operating system).

8-bit MPU enabled by thin-film electronics
A general-purpose 8-bit MPU, manufactured using complementary TFTs processed at temperatures compatible with plastic foil substrates (250°C), has been realised by Holst Centre, imec and their partner, Evonik. The CMOS MPU circuit, which operates at a clock frequency 2.1kHz, integrates metal-oxide for n-type TFTs and organic molecules for p-type TFTs. The results were published online in 'Scientific Reports', an open access journal from the pu...
Mobile payments go back to NFC
During Mobile World Congress in February 2014, Visa and Mastercard announced that both firms will support the Host Card Emulation (HCE) initiative to help accelerate the uptake of NFC services. With PayPal'swallet entering the physical payment world and Apple’s iPhone 6 supporting NFC features via the Apple Pay wallet, the HCE initiative caused strong disruption among payment industry players by answering what the mobile payment industry wa...
