Electronic ink could kill QR code

Electronic ink could kill QR code | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

Wireless data transmitters that cost one penny to produce challenge limited QR code technology.

 

Researchers in Korea have devised a cheap way of transmitting data from objects to mobile phones when swiped.

They have printed small "rectennas", a cross between an antenna and an AC/DC current converter, onto plastic foils using electronic inks.

 

The rectenna uses radio waves emitted from a smartphone to transmit data to it from a tiny chip.

 

The printed rectennas cost less than one penny per unit to produce and could be used as an alternative to QR codes.

 

The technology behind them, Near Field Communication (NFC), is already used in devices that enable shoppers to make card payments by touch.

Stop wasting time closing all apps in the multitasking bar

Stop wasting time closing all apps in the multitasking bar | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
From www.joachim-scholz.com - April 25, 10:09 PM
Will closing apps from the multitasking bar speed app your iPad and preserve battery? No - that's a myth. Save yourself the time and don't do it.

academiPad's curator insight, April 25, 2:52 PM

I admit that I was one of those who cleared out the multitasking bar on the iPad in order to get some speed back. Then I wanted to write a post on how to speed up an aging iPad (because that's what I have), and to my surprise I found out that closing apps, in almost all cases, does absolutely nothing for you! Despite of most what you read online - it's a complete myth.

Ken's Key Takeaway:

I knew about the OCR in photos.  I did not know about the OCR .pdf function.  Awesome!

Are you a digital packrat? Are you in need of a searchable repository for everything you want to recall later?

If so, Evernote is the tool you need right now – and we’ve got the perfect manual to get you started using it like a professional.
