    When data are encoded, the characters are translated into machine-readable code. A label or tag containing the encoded data is attached to the item that is to be identified. Machine reader or scanner. This device reads the encoded data, converting them to an alternative form, typically an electrical analog signal. Data decoder.

  5. Radio-frequency identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification

    Radio-frequency identification ( RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder called a tag, a radio receiver, and a transmitter. When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliograph

    Heliograph. A heliograph (from Ancient Greek ἥλιος (hḗlios) 'sun', and γράφειν (gráphein) 'to write') is a solar telegraph [1] system that signals by flashes of sunlight (generally using Morse code) reflected by a mirror. The flashes are produced by momentarily pivoting the mirror, or by interrupting the beam with a shutter. [2]
