Unit 7: Appendix

GLOSSARY

Factory Programming	Relative to RFID, the programming of information into a tag occurring as part of the
	manufacturing process resulting in a read-only tag.
	In RFID, programming that usually occurs before the tag is installed on the object to be
Field Programming	identified enabling the introduction of data relevant to the specifics of the application. However,
	the tag would typically have to be removed from its object.
Field Protection	In RFID, the ability to limit the operations that can be performed on portions of data fields
	stored in a tag.
Fillet	To round off the sharp edges of the angle.
Flange	The projecting rim of an object used to keep another object or objects in place.
	A form of rewritable memory chip that allows multiple memory locations to be erased or written
Flash Memory	in one programming operation. Flash Memory is very high-speed and non-volatile - does not
	need power to maintain the stored information. Its information is stored in an array of floating
	gate transistors called “cells”.
Font	A type or style of letter or numeral characters used in written text.
Frequency	The number of times a signal executes a complete excursion through its maximum and
	minimum values and returns to the same value. The number of vibration cycles.
	Print media with a space between each label where only the paper backing exists. The
Gap Media	printer’s sensor uses this “gap” to identify when the printed label ends and to properly position
	the next label for printing.
Gauge	A unit of measurement used to describe the nominal thickness of wire. The higher the gauge
	number, the smaller the diameter.
Gear	A system of toothed wheels meshed together so that the motion of one is passed on to the
	others.
Gigabytes	Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of 1 billion bytes.
Groove	An elongated slot cut into an object.
Hertz	Radio waves or other electromagnetic radiation resulting from oscillations of electricity in a
	conductor. Also the measurement of those oscillations.
Hexidecimal	A numbering system composed of six letters (A-F) and ten numbers (0-9) used to condense
	binary numbers.
Hex Screw	A threaded rod having a flanged head that is comprised of six sides - a type of hardware used
	to attach two or more objects.
Hole	In engineering: a recess that does not penetrate completely through as a bore or orifice. Term
	may be casually used in lieu of a bore or orifice.
Horizontal	On a level plane ninety-degrees from vertical.
Hz	(Hertz) Radio waves or other electromagnetic radiation resulting from oscillations of electricity
	in a conductor. Also the measurement of those oscillations.
Icon	An image or picture that has a specific meaning.
I.D. Filter	In RFID, software that compares a newly read ID with those in a database or set.
Idle Gear	A toothed wheel that is not directly driven, but instead receives motion from another.
Idle Roller	A non-toothed wheel that is not driven - in the case of printers, it is typically used to provide
	tension on a timing belt. Also referred to as “tension roller”.
Illuminate	To give or emit light.
Inductive Coupling	In RFID, systems that use the inducing of a current in a coil as a means of transferring data or
	power.
Intermittent	Stopping and starting again at intervals.
In-Use Programming	The ability to read from, and write to, an RFID tag while attached to its object.
Junction	A place or point of joining or crossing.
Kinetic	The science dealing with the motion of masses in relation to the forces acting on them.
