Railway Sees RFID Return
Canadian National Railway (CN) moved to [RFID Journal] an RFID-based chassis-rental system for their trailers last year and have already seen a return of Cdn$500,000 as a result. Traffic at their cargo-container storage area has also reduced as a result, by allowing the efficient transfer of cargo containers to the appropriate chassis.
Open Standard Pet Microchip Reader Project
MaxMicrochip.com has a detailed, step-by-step tutorial, complete with pictures and screenshots, on building a pet id microchip reader to read all types of these chips. The project consists of parts that can be purchased at Radio Shack/ The Source, and doesn't even require a soldering iron.
RFID Door Locks
Coolest Gadgets has some pictures of a very slick looking RFID door lock. The lock has the option of a numeric keypad for PIN-based access as well as contactless key fobs, cards, and tags. Of course, you could also have a chip implanted in your hand.
