Ans 5(b) Night Vision Camera

Night vision is the ability to see in low-light conditions. Whether

by biological or technological means, night vision is made possible by a combination of two
approaches: sufficient spectral range, and sufficient intensity range. Humans have poor night
vision compared to many animals, in part because the human eye lacks a tapetum lucidum.

Types of ranges
Spectral range

The electromagnetic spectrum, with the visible portion highlighted

Night-useful spectral range techniques can sense radiation that is invisible to a human observer.
Human vision is confined to a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light.
Enhanced spectral range allows the viewer to take advantage of non-visible sources of
electromagnetic radiation (such as near-infrared or ultra violet radiation). Some animals such as
the mantis shrimp can see using much more of the infrared and/or ultraviolet spectrum than
humans.

Intensity Range
Sufficient intensity range is simply the ability to see with very small quantities of light. Many
animals have better night vision than humans do, the result of one or more differences in the
morphology and anatomy of their eyes. These include having a larger eyeball, a larger lens, a
larger optical aperture (the pupils may expand to the physical limit of the eyelids), more rods
than cones (or rods exclusively) in the retina, and a tapetum lucidum. Enhanced intensity range
is achieved via technological means through the use of an image intensifier, gain
multiplication CCD, or other very low-noise and high-sensitivity array of photodetectors.
Ans 9(b)
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and
track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically-stored information. Passive tags
collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves. Active tags have a local
power source (such as a battery) and may operate hundreds of meters from the RFID reader. Unlike
a barcode, the tag need not be within the line of sight of the reader, so it may be embedded in the
tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC).
RFID tags are used in many industries, for example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during
production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged
pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock
and pets allows for positive identification of animals.
Since RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and possessions, or implanted in animals and
people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised serious
privacy concerns. These concerns resulted in standard specifications development addressing
privacy and security issues. Use of on-chip cryptography methods for un-traceability, tag and
reader authentication, and over-the-air privacy. Chip specifies a digital signature data structure for
RFID and barcodes providing data, source and read method authenticity. This work is done
within automatic identification and data capture techniques. Tags can also be used in shops to
expedite checkout, and to prevent theft by customers and employees.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-
wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.400 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile
devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). Invented by Dutch electrical engineer Jaap
Haartsen, working for telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless
alternative to RS-232 data cables.

Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has more than 30,000
member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer
electronics. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth as IEEE 802.15.1, but no longer maintains the
standard. The Bluetooth SIG oversees development of the specification, manages the qualification
program, and protects the trademarks.[6] A manufacturer must meet Bluetooth SIG standards to
market it as a Bluetooth device. A network of patents apply to the technology, which are licensed to
individual qualifying devices.
