Kymissis et al. have examined the possibility of generation of electrical power parasitically from devices built in a shoe, a wearable subsystem for the soldier. Merits of three different types of piezoelectric devices are compared. They are a unimorph strip piezoceramic composite, a stave of multilayer laminate of PVDF foil, and a shoe-mounted rotary magnetic generator as a part of technology demonstration a piezoelectric embedded shoe has also been postulated to periodically broadcast a digital radio frequency identification (RFID) signal as the wearer walks.

Another major technology area that can utflize conductive IJ ink is the display market. Inkjet can be applied for both flexible and rigid displays such as electroluminescent and electrophoretic displays (including e-paper), hquid crystal displays (LCD), plasma display panels (PDP) and touch screens some functionalities have already been printed by IJ technology in certain display apphcations, for example RGB color filters. Conductive IJ is also appropriate for use in thin film transistors (TFT), disposable batteries, radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, and a range of chemical and electronic sensors.

New technologies incorporated into products enable even more information to be leveraged by the supply chain. Radio frequency identification tags (RFID) represent one approach that could, theoretically, enable even a single unit of a product to be tracked. An RFID system transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves ([2]). 

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Sensors RFID is a technology capable of providing wireless identification of objects. Figure 8 shows a typical RFID system that consists of a transponder (a tag) including an integrated circuit containing an RF circuitry and information to be transmitted, with a transceiver to read the radio frequency and transfer the information to a processing device.

A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antenna was placed in the central unit to detect when items are removed, flashing up a warning on a touch screen when the stock is incomplete. This also facilitates the restocking process as the technology can display exactly what is missing, and the expiry date. 

Some of the most used technologies for indoor location include the use of infra-red [15], ultrasonic waves [16], pressure sensors [8], RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) [13] and wireless communications networks [1, 9, 10]. In what concerns to the methodologies used to obtain the location, they can be divided into three main areas [3] Triangulation, Proximity and Scene Analysis.
