LMAO getting more caught up and I've noticed something interesting about Sun. A trend really
So I just finished the episode "Magic training begins! In VRchat" and his new teacher said they'd teach Sun how to pull magic from everywhere around him.
So he can eventually do magic without a mana pool.
This reminds me, that's exactly what he was taught to do with Star power. He pulls star power in from around him and he then proceeds to manipulate it etc etc.
Something else unique about him is he's Solar powered. One of the only ones implied to have Solar energy. It's why he's able to run on nothing. Why he can avoid charging for literal days on end.
I just want to point out Sun is setting himself up to basically have infinite power. He'll never run out of juice. He can now draw from infinite resources. Draw energy from the literal air around him.
Taurus met Sun and the first thing he noticed is Sun is wreathed in power. He pointed out he was radiating it. The sense I got he didn't even dislike it. What he did dislike was Sun teaching someone else how to use it who proceeded to misuse use it.
As we know, when the Creator wanted to kidnap Lunar it was to use him as a star power battery because unlike Sun who just draws on Star power (rarely tho because he can explode if he holds it too much) Lunar produces it and the Creator wanted that.
Just an interesting observation that Sun can tap into so many volatile power sources. They're all meant to corrupt too, but Sun managed to avoid that. He's this uncorruptible source of strength for the family etc.
I understand that for laes Rez/Res is probably going to move in and do things to Lunar and Earth soon, and they can corrupt things with their power.
🤨
Anyways, remember Dark Sun? Just Sun. He's also using power sources but doesn't show signs of being corrupted by it. He's actually going cross-dimensionsal and made the impossible possible (Omg Sun-core!) by absorbing Star Power in other dimensions. I think he's using the star power to feed his pet dragon but anyways.
Both he and Sun display a learned ability to sense star power and nsp. Sun knew when Nexus showed up in their house and D! Sun told Nexus when to purge his overabundance of nsp. But he also walked away because he mentioned he's basically drowning from the amount of nsp Nexus purged.
Sun also noticed the pressure Taurus exudes similarly to Lunar. So far they're the only two Taurus used his aura/pressure anime intimidation thing on.
Just a thing I noticed.

do you guys want some of my cod 141 headcanons you’re getting them anyways
SOAP
-puts stuff in his mouth a lot to hold it when he runs out of hands (this includes when he’s making explosives, it stresses everyone out)
-gets cute aggression and bites people
-will also bite in a fight
-has bits and pieces of rubble from explosions that he thought looked pretty
-is feral, like he takes a hit to the face during a spar and grins with blood trickling into his mouth
-had a graffiti phase as a teen that never fully left and because of it he writes in all capital letters. this is great when they need something written down where no one can read it. (the 141 probably had a meeting where they went over how to read his handwriting)
-has dreams so realistic he wakes up confused wondering if it was a memory he forgot about even if it didn’t make sense
-military grade anger issues
-never fully grew out of his punk phase
-his childhood room was full of road signs and traffic cones
-is actually a hardass when it comes to training recruits (i think the proper term for privates in the sas is troopers but im calling them recruits cause that seems to be the term everyone uses)(everyone thought his bright attitude meant that he’s laid back and easygoing. no. he’s not. yall ever seen those videos of drill sergeants coming up with the most creative insults? thats him)
-randomly says “i am normal and can be trusted around military grade weapons”
-his journal from the og games is a must in the remaster sorry i don’t make the rules
GHOST
-can play guitar super fucking well, im talking full on fingerstyle ballads
-major staring problem, if he doesn’t want to talk to someone he’ll stare until they go away. sometimes stares at people for no reason. also stares when he wants something. he’s always watching.
-would be interested in getting into blacksmithing if he didn’t grow up poor and hates spending money on himself that isn’t out of necessity (seriously you need like 30k to start a forge)
-can and will obsess over damascus patterns in blades (i feel like his favorite pattern would be fish bone or those really complicated mosaic patterns. he gets soap into it too by showing him fireball patterns)
-never grew out of echolalia and because of this is amazing at mimicking noises (he mimicks smoke alarm battery low noises and phone chimes to troll people sometimes.)
-road rage, but its quiet fuming comments that make you grip the oh shit handle for dear life (“you better turn off your fucking highbeams or i can’t be blamed for the head on collision that’s about to happen”)(no one can tell if he’s serious or not)
-hates tin foil, hearing it or touching it makes him clench his jaw because it feels like he can feel it in his teeth
-secret sweet tooth, but it comes and goes. sometimes he’s disgusted by anything sweeter than white bread and other times he can fuck up an entire box of lil debbie cakes
-can hand sew efficiently and fast as fuck
-his favorite type of blanket is a heavy quilt
GAZ
-is aggressively hydrated and is one of those people who carry around those big 128 oz water bottles
-gets competitive over karaoke (it took him months to convince everyone to join and he only got the idea after finding out soap wanted to be in a band as a teen and that he spent days learning how to properly vocal fry)
-says WOO! when he’s super fucking excited (will throw his arms up as well if soap is around because the two of them are an echo chamber of emotion)(the WOO! might actually be canon theres a voice line in warzone)
-probably the most up to date on modern fashion trends (get this man a long cashmere coat he deserves it)
-he does own a bedazzled cap he found at a gas station though (it’s hideous)
-elaborate skin care routine (he’s conned everyone to have some sort of routine. especially ghost. he got so concerned when it hit him that ghost was always wearing the eyeblack)
PRICE
-listens to black label society (i won’t budge on this its not even a head canon to me anymore its fact it was revealed to me in a dream)
-plays solitaire (he’s a very high level and it took him less than a year to get there. no one knows where he found the time to play for that long)
-drives a manual and shames people who don’t know how to work a stick
-literature nerd (im talking all the classics and philosophy books this man can get his hands on)
-discovered tennessee moonshine and has thought about it ever since
-smacks people on the back of the head when they’re doing something stupid
-if anyone makes a negative comment on his facial hair he gives them the dirtiest side eye
GEN/MULTI
-gaz and soap carry those big contractor waterproof sharpies and leave gaz was here or soap was here everywhere they go (this stemmed from soap’s graffiti phase and gaz turned it into a competition. they once got into a competition on who could leave the most signs until price called them muppets and confiscated their sharpies)
-ghost put soap in air jail once, it was very effective
-gaz and soap go to the gym together and take photos in the mirrors after they’re done (somewhere there’s a photo of the time they got ghost to join and they even got him to flex an arm)
-ghost and soap are professional assholes to each other.
-none of the 141 are allowed play card games and gamble with each other because they’re all dirty charlatans
-price tried to stop smoking only once and carried around gum and peppermints. ghost stole the peppermints and soap wouldn’t stop asking for gum
-gaz and ghost are the only ones who really try to adhere to the lights out rule. price and soap can be seen drinking coffee throughout the day
-all of them can hold a grudge for life
-ghost clears his throat loudly when any of them smoke by him. or stares. depends on the say
-if any of the smokers see another outside smoking and decides to join them it turns into a drawn out conversation about the most mundane topics
-the 141 can have full conversations of pure sarcasm nons

huh yunjin (lyra)~ @ jenifrmtheblock
❀ vocalist and dancer who trained for 4 years before debuting in le sserafim. she’s the ‘middle child’ of her group and the supposed reason for sakura’s grey hairs. yunjin’s the funny one in her group just not to her members because they don’t get her american ass jokes. to fans though she’s the american who’s chronically online and borderline an ipad kid so of course she’s fairly popular. instead of actually addressing her feelings she writes them in songs then never thinks about them again.
୧ ‧₊☆彡˚ ⋅﹢
miyawaki sakura~ @ifeelbonita
❀ vocalist and dancer who debuted in japan nearly 13 years ago, then in korea around 6 years ago, and again in korea with le sserafim. honestly, she’s just a tired wine mom with 4 kids at this point. she prioritizes taking care of all of her members and sometimes a little more than herself, but that’s something she’s willing to sacrifice if it means her girls are happy. she’s only been in one committed relationship which is a little disjointed right now, tbh she doesn’t even know what’s going on between the two of them. as the oldest member she’s made fun of for being of the loop on nearly every trend but surprises her members every now and again. 
୧ ‧₊☆彡˚ ⋅﹢
kim chaewon~ @nepobabychae
❀ leader and vocal who trained for 10 months before her first debut then trained again for about 9 month before debuting in le sserafim. sakura knows her best since they’ve known each other the longest. when it comes to her relationships she has none because she’s the most awkward and dorky mf known to man when a pretty girl comes around…so yeah she has no game. what she does have is a staring problem.
୧ ‧₊☆彡˚ ⋅﹢
nakamura kazuha~ @toeshews
❀ dancer and rapper who trained for 12 weeks before making her debut with her members. girlie is an ex-ballerina and her company will not let anyone forget about it…ever. she has literally no interest in dating to the point where she forgets people actually want to date her and laughs when she gets asked out because she thinks its a joke. she’s the second youngest and along with yunjin drains the life out of chaewon like it’s a hobby. sometimes she pretends she doesn’t understand korean so she can eavesdrop on conversations. 
୧ ‧₊☆彡˚ ⋅﹢
hong eunchae~ @ohmymanchae
❀ dancer and vocalist who trained for 6 months before debuting in le sserafim. she’s the youngest and her group’s pride and joy. whenever she does anything her members already have phones out to take pictures while they marvel over her just breathing. eunchae is so energetic it’s like she runs on lithium batteries, but nobody complains. she’s the actual reason for sakura’s grey hairs.

Tumblr media
Week in Review
October 23rd-29th
Welcome to Fragile Practice, where I attempt to make something of value out of stuff I have to read.
My future plan is to do longer-form original pieces on interesting topics or trends. For now, I'm going to make the weekly reviews habitual and see if I have any time left.
Tumblr media
Technology
OpenAI forms team to study ‘catastrophic’ AI risks, including nuclear threats - Tech Crunch; Kyle Wiggers
OpenAI launched a new research team called AI Safety and Security to investigate the potential harms of artificial intelligence focused on AI alignment, AI robustness, AI governance, and AI ethics.
Note: Same energy as “cigarette company funds medical research into smoking risks”.
Artists Allege Meta’s AI Data Deletion Request Process Is a ‘Fake PR Stunt’ - Wired; Kate Knibbs
Artists who participated in Meta’s Artificial Intelligence Artist Residency Program accused the company of failing to honor their data deletion requests and claim that Meta used their personal data to train its AI models without their consent.
Note: Someday we will stop being surprised that corporate activities without obvious profit motive are all fake PR stunts.
GM and Honda ditch plan to build cheaper electric vehicles - The Verge; Andrew J. Hawkins
General Motors and Honda cancel their joint venture to develop and produce cheaper electric vehicles for the US market, citing the chip shortage, rising costs of battery materials, and the changing market conditions.
Note: What are the odds this isn’t related to the 7 billion dollars the US government announced to create hydrogen hubs.
'AI divide' across the US leaves economists concerned - The Register; Thomas Claburn
A new study by economists from Harvard University and MIT reveals a significant gap in AI adoption and innovation across different regions in the US.
The study finds that AI usage is highest in California's Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area, but was also noted in Nashville, San Antonio, Las Vegas, New Orleans, San Diego, and Tampa, as well as Riverside, Louisville, Columbus, Austin, and Atlanta.
Nvidia to Challenge Intel With Arm-Based Processors for PCs - Bloomberg; Ian King
Nvidia is using Arm technology to develop CPUs that would challenge Intel processors in PCs, and which could go on sale as soon as 2025.
Note: I am far from an NVIDIA fan, but I’m stoked for any amount of new competition in the CPU space.
New tool lets artists fight AI image bots by hiding corrupt data in plain sight - Engadget; Sarah Fielding
A team at the University of Chicago created Nightshade, a tool that lets artists fight AI image bots by adding undetectable pixels into an image that can alter how a machine-learning model produces content and what that finished product looks like.
Nightshade is intended to protect artists work and has been tested on both Stable Diffusion and an in-house AI built by the researchers.
IBM's NorthPole chip runs AI-based image recognition 22 times faster than current chips - Tech Xplore; Bob Yirka
NorthPole combines the processing module and the data it uses in a two-dimensional array of memory blocks and interconnected CPUs, and is reportedly inspired by the human brain.
NorthPole can currently only run specialized AI processes and not training processes or large language models, but the researchers plan to test connecting multiple chips together to overcome this limitation.
Apple’s $130 Thunderbolt 4 cable could be worth it, as seen in X-ray CT scans - Ars Technica; Kevin Purdy
Note: These scans are super cool. And make me feel somewhat better about insisting on quality cables. A+.
Tumblr media
The Shifting Web
On-by-default video calls come to X, disable to retain your sanity - The Register; Brandon Vigliarolo
Video and audio calling is limited to anyone you follow or who is in your address book, if you granted X permission to comb through it.
Calling other users also requires that they’ve sent at least one direct message to you before.
Only premium users can place calls, but everyone can receive them.
Google Search Boss Says Company Invests to Avoid Becoming ‘Roadkill’ - The New York Times; Nico Grant
Google’s senior vice president overseeing search said that he sees a world of threats that could humble his company at any moment.
Google Maps is getting new AI-powered search updates, an enhanced navigation interface and more - Tech Crunch; Aisha Malik
Note: These AI recommender systems are going to be incredibly valuable advertising space. It is interesting that Apple decided to compete with Google in maps but not in basic search, but has so far not placed ads in the search results.
Reddit finally takes its API war where it belongs: to AI companies - Ars Technica; Scharon Harding
Reddit met with generative AI companies to negotiate a deal for being paid for its data, and may block crawlers if no deal is made soon.
Note: Google searches for info on Reddit often seem more effective than searching Reddit itself.  If they are unable to make a deal, and Reddit follows through, it will be a legitimate loss for discoverability but also an incredibly interesting experiment to see what Reddit is like without Google.
Bandcamp’s Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off - 404 Media; Emanuel Maiberg
Bandcamp’s new owner (Songtradr) offered jobs to just half of existing employees, with cuts disproportionately hitting union leaders. Every member of the union’s eight-person bargaining team was laid off, and 40 of the union's 67 members lost their jobs.
Songtradr spokesperson Lindsay Nahmiache claimed that the firm didn’t have access to union membership information.
Note: This just sucks. Bandcamp is rad, and it’s hard to imagine it continuing to be rad after this. I wonder if Epic had ideas for BC that didn’t work out.
Tumblr media
Surveillance & Digital Privacy
Mozilla Launches Annual Digital Privacy 'Creep-o-Meter'. This Year's Status:  'Very Creepy' - Slashdot
Mozilla gave the current state of digital privacy a 75.6/100, with 100 being the creepiest.
They measured security features, data collection, and data sharing practices of over 500 gadgets, apps, and cars to come up with their score.
Every car Mozilla tested failed to meet their privacy and security standards.
Note: It would be great if even one auto brand would take privacy seriously.
EPIC Testifies in Support of Massachusetts Data Privacy and Protection Act -Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)
Massachusetts version of ADPPA.
Note: While it may warm my dead heart to see any online privacy protections in law, scrambling to do so in response to generative AI is unlikely to protect Americans in any meaningful way from the surveillance driven form of capitalism we’ve all been living under for decades.
Complex Spy Platform StripedFly Bites 1M Victims - Dark Reading
StripedFly is a complex platform disguised as a cryptominer and evaded detection for six years by using a custom version of EternalBlue exploit, a built-in Tor network tunnel, and trusted services like GitLab, GitHub, and Bitbucket to communicate with C2 servers and update its functionality.
iPhones have been exposing your unique MAC despite Apple's promises otherwise - Ars Technica
A privacy feature which claimed to hide the Wi-Fi MAC address of iOS devices when joining a network was broken since iOS 14, and was finally patched in 17.1, released on Wednesday.
Note: I imagine this bug was reported a while ago, but wasn’t publically reported until the fix was released as a term of apple’s bug bounty program.
What the !#@% is a Passkey? - Electronic Frontier Foundation
Note: I welcome our passkey overlords.

Bed rotting: ND kids did it first
Oh boy my first blog post!
A couple months ago I had the Kelly and Mark show on at the waiting room at the urgent care I used to work at. I worked the front desk so I had full view of what was going on before the company I worked at said we apparently need a license to play tv in a medical facility.
Mark and Kelly talked about a Gen Z trend called “bedrotting”. Idk about you but I thought they were going to talk about dying in bed or something.
Nope.
Bed rotting by no formal definition is basically spending time in your bed by choice. Some people doom scroll on their phones, some might watch Netflix and others might do face masks n stuff. I tend to do all of the above.
Gen Z is calling this a form of self care. Now, I’m 26 and was born in 1996. In the words of Brittney Broski “Those born 1994-1998, what are we really?” Which if that’s not the truth idk what is. Am I a millennial or Gen Z? Some charts say one or the other but I like the term Zillennial. So yes in a way I can relate to Gen Z.
I heard Kelly and Mark talk about how it’s a “trend” and as they rambled on about it I realized something.
I’ve been spending my weekends bed rotting since middle school. I would have people make fun of me for it. Like it’s the weekend, I’m a exhausted teenager that is people’d out from the school week and this is the time to rest and recharge. Neurodiverse kids have been bed rotting before it was a “trend”
I find it amazing that something I was picked on and given a hard time about by my peers is now trendy.
Well, I don’t know so much about trendy but they are finding the joy of just kicking back, relaxing and recharging. Even better we are calling it self care because let me tell you, in this fast paced culture we need a break and you can’t be your best when you’re running on a somewhat charged battery.
I work in healthcare as a front desk admin. I would see the patients first and help them get signed in and registered at the urgent care I used to work at. I was very often there alone checking people in, answering the phone, etc. Things would go from 0-100 at any minute. I once had FOUR emergent patients come in at once, thankfully only one of them was truly emergent. Although I’m trained as a medical office admin and have 8 years customer service, it would get though as a ND woman. So after work I basically would change into something comfortable and just browse away on my phone.
yeah that’s what I wanted to talk about today. Take care of yourselves y’all! Happy bed rotting!

These companies are well-established players with a strong presence in the market and a reputation for producing high-quality products.
Overall, the global rail wheel and axle market is highly competitive, with a diverse range of companies operating in this space. Companies in the market are constantly seeking ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors, such as through the development of new technologies or the expansion of their product offerings.
For more information: https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/rail-wheel-and-axle-market
Due to the growing sophistication of rail networks and trains, as well as the present trend toward autonomous technology, train makers are devoting significant resources to R&D to develop lighter materials for wheels and axles for freight trains, passenger trains, and short-distance trains.
Nearly 7 billion people take trains each year, and they all want to travel as quickly, easily, and economically as possible. It's for this reason that the research and development of fully driverless trains is continuing to advance. Computerized monitoring systems installed on autonomous trains can detect problems with rail wheels and axles.
There are numerous benefits to using a solar rail system instead of traditional diesel trains. Diesel-powered trains usually have two engine cars. In contrast, solar-powered trains use solar gears in place of traditional gears. Solar panels have been put on the bogie roofs, and electric motors and batteries have been installed in the second diesel compartment.
The electrical needs of railway engines, which normally require 750 V to 800 V to move the rails, may be met by solar panels set atop trains providing voltages of 600 V to 800 V. Demand for these trains is likely to rise, which is good news for manufacturers of rail wheels and axles.
The rail wheel and axle market is an important segment of the global rail transportation industry. Rail wheel and axle products are essential components of rail vehicles, such as trains, trams, and subway cars, and are used to support and propel these vehicles. There are several factors that are driving the global rail wheel and axle market, including growth in rail transportation, urbanisation and population growth, environmental concerns, and technological advancements.
However, the demand for rail wheel and axle is also facing several restraints or challenges, including high capital costs, cyclical demand, a complex supply chain, competition from other modes of transportation, and regulatory challenges. Despite these challenges, the rail wheel and axle market is expected to continue growing in the coming years, driven by increasing demand for rail transportation and ongoing technological advancements in the industry.
Key Takeaways
It is estimated that the US market for rail wheel and axle will be worth $570.8 million in 2022.
Market value in China, the world's second largest economy, is projected to reach $878 million by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 6% from 2023 to 2033.
Over the projection horizon, both Japan and Canada are predicted to grow at rates of 2.9% and 3.8%, respectively.
The demand for rail wheel and axle in Germany is projected to expand by 3.3% this year.

One thing to note is that this doesn't factor-in non-occupant fatalities, which would very likely increase all brands numbers significantly.
But one thing I noticed is that this article presents interesting data and then draws an absurd conclusion from it; namely, blaming the drivers "taking safety features out of context."
This is unethical journalism in its most textbook form. Here is why:
- Tesla is not the only brand that over-advertises safety features, even though they are one of the easiest examples to point to thanks to Elon's ridiculous publicity stunts like shattering the "shatter-proof" windows.
- Tesla Drivers are not a unique demographic of people. As a subdemographic of Executive Car owners (High end Lincolns, Audis, BMWs, Mercedes), they might trend towards more "faith in technology" than their counterparts, but not so much that it would explain a doubling of fatal accidents as measured by occupants of the vehicle. That level of attribution is ludicrous.
- Teslas have several known safety flaws and several correlating high-profile fatalities.
The doors tend to lock closed in the case of a power failure, which may only be released via an unmarked switch with a location varying across models but almost always requiring some disassembly of the dashboard. In the dark or other low-/zero-visibility situations like being underwater or having the cabin fill with smoke, this is effectively a death sentence for the driver and all passengers.
The batteries ignite readily and combust vigorously when exposed to moisture in the air thanks to the Lithium used in their construction, and resist traditional firefighting methods due to the whole "combusts in reaction to the presence of water or moisture" issue.
Crucial operational and safety features such as gear shifting are relegated to purely touchscreen controls, which is insane on the face of it. Touchscreens are an interface which require precise inputs and can't by their very nature guide you in supplying those inputs. Their surfaces warp and distort under prolonged exposure to heat (like might be found in the interior of a car in warm or hot weather), distorting the input in unpredictable ways even if it is entered correctly. They process a large amount of data in collecting the input to generate the output, leading to memory leaks, latency, and crashing. And the monitors that supply their display tend to degrade in a way that generates more heat over time, degrading the performance of the touchscreen if not causing outright failure by saturating it with false inputs.
All of these issues would have to be accounted for before one could begin to make assumptions about "Operator Error" if there were literally any standard of ethics being applied.
And I'm going to jump back to touchscreens for a second:
August 21st, 2017:
On an exercise with an exhausted crew, the USS John S. McCain experiences a loss of steering and propulsion control, causing it to deviate into the path of the Liberian-flagged Tanker Ship, Alnic MC. The resulting collision killed 10 sailors on the USS John McCain and crippled the ship.
What caused this collision? The US Navy officially blames the Captain, in a Certified BuOrd Moment™ [for those unaware: the Bureau of Ordnance was the body behind the insane failures and even more insane coverup of the Mark 14 Torpedo, notable for its proclivity to blame crews and captains for failure in handling the torpedo even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary].
But what was a more proximate cause was the Touchscreen Controls for the ship's steerage and engine power. The TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLS for the STEERING and ENGINES. In a throwback to the Mark 14, crews had no ability to access the manuals for the equipment (the only manual available was written entirely in Norwegian), very little if any training in using the equipment, and no training on what to do if the equipment failed.
So when a "feature" none of the crew were aware of was unwittingly discovered, the ability to decouple one of the shafts (driveshaft but for a ship) from the touchscreen controls, the crew encountered a situation where they wholly relied on a single poorly-understood system to avert disaster.
And then the Bridge Touchscreen crashed.
There's a whole lot more to this story, such as the "big red button" and the whole extent of crew fatigue, and I highly recommend the Lions Led By Donkeys bonus episode about it; but the overall moral of this story is don't put any function on a touchscreen that would create a hazard to the operator or any bystanders if the touchscreen failed.
holy shit

Industry trend|New foreign RFID patent: Detecting human activity without the need for wearing tags
Researchers at the University of Glasgow have made a breakthrough by developing a new RFID tracking system that can track the behavior of elderly or high-risk people at home without requiring them to wear any RFID tags. This innovative technology is named "Transparent RFID Tag Wall" (TRT Wall) and has been patented.
The core of the TRT Wall system lies in its unique working principle. Traditional RFID-based tracking systems usually rely on capturing and identifying RFID tags worn on the human body, such as badges or wristbands. However, the research team at the University of Glasgow took a completely different approach. They installed RFID interrogators on one wall and arranged multiple RFID tags on the opposite wall to form a 3×5 grid array. These tags use machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to identify when someone is in the room, as well as their location and movement.
Tumblr media
The system does not directly identify when the RFID tag is read, but infers the presence and activity of a person by analyzing when and how the tag reading is interrupted. When someone moves between walls, their body slightly interferes with the transmission of the RFID signal. The degree and manner of this interference are enough to be captured and analyzed by the system to identify the person's walking speed, sitting posture, standing posture, and even falling movements.
The advantage of the TRT wall system is its non-invasive and non-contact nature. It overcomes the limitations of wearable devices and camera-based systems and provides a real-time monitoring solution that is both safe and privacy-friendly. For the elderly or high-risk groups who need special attention, this tracking method without wearing any equipment is undoubtedly more convenient and comfortable.
Advantages of transparent RFID tag wall
Compared with other detection methods, transparent RFID tag wall has a series of unique advantages such as good privacy protection, cost-effectiveness, strong reliability, short training time, good compatibility, and non-line-of-sight sensing. The following is a detailed analysis of these advantages:
Good privacy protection: Transparent RFID tag wall does not require users to wear any equipment, thus avoiding the privacy leakage problem that may be caused by wearing equipment. This feature is particularly suitable for places with high privacy protection requirements, such as homes, nursing homes and hospitals.
Cost-effective: The system uses a minimum of battery-free UHF tags and a single antenna, which significantly reduces costs. Compared with traditional wearable devices, RFID tags are cheaper to deploy and maintain, and do not require regular charging or battery replacement.
Expected to be applied to more fields
In addition to being used in home environments, the transparent RFID tag wall system also has a wide range of commercial application prospects. For example, in office meeting rooms, the system can indicate which chair people tend to sit in by analyzing signal changes, thereby providing useful data support for facility planning. Similarly, in parking lots, RFID systems can identify which spaces are occupied by vehicles and improve the efficiency of parking management.
In addition, the research team at the University of Glasgow is further exploring the potential of the transparent RFID tag wall system. They are developing sensors that can detect physiological data such as personal heart rate and breathing rate, and combine infrared sensors and artificial intelligence technology to identify the typical patterns of specific individuals. This means that in the future the system will not only be able to track people's location and activities, but also be able to identify individuals based on physiological characteristics.
Although the transparent RFID tag wall system still faces some challenges, such as multi-person detection and the distinction between interference factors such as pets, the research team at the University of Glasgow said they will continue to work hard to improve this technology and look forward to its application and promotion in more fields.
The emergence of the transparent RFID tag wall system has brought a new revolution to RFID tracking technology. It not only improves the accuracy and convenience of tracking, but also pays more attention to privacy protection and user experience. With the continuous development and improvement of technology, the transparent RFID tag wall system is expected to play a greater role in the future and bring more convenience and safety to people's lives.
