It's used to _______   parts and work in process and to reduce defects, increase throughput and manage the productionof different versions of the same product.

RFID technology has been used in closed loop supply chains or to automate parts of the supply chain within a company's ________  for years.

These retailers are currently focused on improving supply chain efficiency and making sure product is on the shelf when ________, want to buy it.

RFID is all the rage in the supply chain world, but the technology is also catching on as aconvenient ________ mechanism.

These active systems have caught on in many countries, and quick service restaurants are ________ with using the same active RFID tags to pay for meals at drive-throughwindows.

RFlD has long been used as an _______ key to control who has access to office buildingsor areas within office buildings.

The ______ of RFlD is it is convenient (an employee can hold up a badge to unlock a door, ratherthan looking for a key or swiping a magnetic stripe card) and because there is no contact betweenthe card and reader, there is less wear and tear, and therefore less_______.

A WSN consists of spatially distributed sensor nodes. In a WSN, each sensor node is able to independently perform some processing and ____tasks.

Furthermore, sensor nodescommunicate with each other in order to forward their sensed information to a central processing unit or conduct some local coordination such as data ______

In a sensor node, the functionality of an embedded processor is to schedule tasks, processdata and control the _________ of other hardware components.

Among all these alternatives, the Microcontroller has been the most used embedded processor for sensor nodes because of its _______ to connect to other devices and its cheap price.

The various choices of wireless _______ media include Radio Frequency (RF), Laser and Infrared.

Memories in asensor node include in-chip _______memory and RAM of a microcontroller and external flash memory.

More ______ is required for data communication than for sensing and data processing.

Energy-harvesting techniques convert ________ energy (e.g. solar, wind) to electrical energy and the aim is to revolutionize the power supply on sensor nodes.

A sensor is a hardware device that produces a measurable response signal to a change in a physical condition such as temperature, pressure and  

Because a sensor _______ a micro-electronic device powered by a limited power source, the attached sensors should also be small in size and consume extremely low energy.
