Hitachi Develops a New RFID with Embedded Antenna ”-Chip –Makes Possible Wireless Links that Work Using Nothing More Than a 0.4mm X 0.4mm Chip, One of the World‘s Smallest ICs–
(September 2, 2003)
This newly developed version, however, features an internal antenna, enabling chips to employ the energy of incoming electrical waves to wirelessly transmit its ID number to a reader. The 0.4mm X 0.4mm chip can thus operate entirely on its own, making it possible to use ”-Chip as RFID IC tags without the need to attach external devices. This breakthrough opens the door to using ”-Chips as RFID IC tags in extremely minute and precise applications that had been impractical until now. For example, the new ”-Chip can be easily embedded in bank notes, gift certificates, documents and whole paper media etc.
Wi-Vi: See through Walls with Wi-Fi signals
Jun 2, 2013
Wi-Vi is a new technology that enables seeing through walls using Wi-Fi signals. The video shows the output of Wi-Vi (blue window) when a person moves around in a room. It can track whether there is a moving human inside the room and how he is moving.

aging the latest paper the one that
0:02
happened even after this which is
0:03
already better uses stable diffusion
0:06
uses the thing that you use to make art
0:09
like what should a thing that you use to
0:10
make art have anything to do with
0:11
reading your brain but of course it goes
0:13
further so in this one they said can
0:16
they understand
0:18
um the inner monologue the things you‘re
0:20
saying to yourself in your own mind my
0:23
dude by the way when you dream your
0:24
dream like your visual cortex runs in
0:26
Reverse so your dreams are no longer
0:28
safe
0:29
um but we‘ll try this so they had people
0:31
watch a video and just narrate what was
0:33
going on in the video in their mind so
0:35
there‘s a woman she gets hit in the back
0:37
she falls over this is what the computer
0:40
reconstructed the person thinking
0:43
see a girl looks just like me get hit in
0:45
the back and then she is knocked off
0:48
so our thoughts like are starting to be
0:51
decoded
0:53
yeah just think about what this means
0:55
for authoritarian States for instance
0:58
or if you want to generate images that
1:00
maximally activate your pleasure sensor
1:03
anything else okay but let‘s keep going
1:04
right to really get the sense of the
1:06
combinatorics of this how about can we
1:08
go from Wi-Fi radio signals you know
1:10
sort of like the Wi-Fi routers in your
1:12
house they‘re bouncing off radio signals
1:14
that work sort of like sonar can you go
1:16
from that to where human beings are to
1:19
images so what they did is they had
1:21
um you know a camera looking at a space
1:24
with people in it
1:25
um that‘s sort of like coming in from
1:26
one eye the other eye is the radio
1:28
signals so sonar from the Wi-Fi router
1:31
and they just learn to predict like this
1:33
is where the human beings are then they
1:35
took away the camera so all the AI had
1:38
was the language of radio signals
1:40
bouncing around a room and this is what
1:43
they‘re able to reconstruct
1:45
Real Time 3D pose estimation right so
1:50
suddenly AI has turned every Wi-Fi
1:53
router into a camera that can work in
1:56
the dark specially tuned for tracking
1:58
living beings
2:01
already
WLAN kann jetzt ohne Kamera beobachten
Keine Sorge: Das Unternehmen betont: keine Bilder, kein Ton, keine Personenidentifikation. Die Funktion ist opt-in und standardmĂ€Ăig aus. Sie lĂ€uft auf neueren Gateways ab dem Modell XB7. Comcast selbst sagt, das sei kein professioneller Sicherheitsdienst und werde nicht rund um die Uhr ĂŒberwacht. Wen das trotzdem noch besorgt, der kann wirklich entwarnt werden: Comcast und die GerĂ€te gibt es nicht in Europa.
Es sollte trotzdem interessieren, was technisch möglich ist.
