New RFID readers from Alien distinguishes between tags {Engadget}
Apr 14th 2008 7:19AM Actuallly the RFID tag measurement is not doppler as the bandwidth of the reader is too narrow. Radio waves travel at the speed of light (300,000,000 meters/sec) which means discerning the time of arrival of tags a few feet apart would require picosecond measurment ability or 100 MHZ plus of IF processing bandwidth (The reader hardware is very narrowband). Rather it is likely an amplitude system that measures the signal increase as it gets closer and signal decrease as it moves further away.

Jan 27th 2008 10:34AM Most attorneys are parasites. There are a few who have a conscience and are very good at what they do. Most are paid obscene amounts of money because they have a license to steal (passed state bar exam). Not unlike doctors, they do not compete globally, rather practice in a highly protected market that does not require them to even be successful to get paid. As a long time business owner I still spend $100's of dollars per hour for regurgitated boilerplate contracts to improve my odds of a fair deal. If it goes south, I will pay another attorney to try to fix the screw-up of the previous. Not bad work if you can live with yourself.
