What is PIT tagging?... A PIT [passive integrated transponder] tag is an electronic microchip encased in biocompatible glass [that is] injected with a 12-gauge needle or inserted by surgical incision under the animal' s skin, usually into [the] muscle or the body cavity. [It serves] as a permanent coded marker that is equivalent to a social security number[, ] and [it is] as reliable as a fingerprint for identification of an individual. 4, record 2, English, - passive%20integrated%20transponder%20tagging

A microchip for your pet can mean the difference between lost and found. Although tags and collars are important, they can tear or slip off. With microchipping, a veterinarian injects a tiny computer chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just under your pet's skin, between the shoulder blades. The microchip number is entered into an international database, which can be read by a microchip scanner if your pet is lost and picked up by a veterinary hospital or humane society. 1, record 5, English, - microchipping

Traditional Passive RFID [radio frequency identification] Tags rely on gathering energy from the RFID Reader’s signal to wake up the integrated circuit (IC) and provide the backscatter required for identification. BAP RFID tags contain their own integrated power source, which is most commonly a battery. It’s very important not to confuse BAP tags with Active RFID Tags. Active tags transmit a beacon at a defined interval. BAP tags do not transmit. The range is improved because no energy needs to be harvested from the RFID Reader to power the integrated circuit and all of the captured energy can be used for backscatter. 3, record 10, English, - battery%2Dassisted%20passive%20tag

Silicon retina. Neuromorphic circuits emulate the complex interactions that occur among the various retinal cell types by replacing each cell’s axons and dendrites (signal pathways) with metal wires and each synapse with a transistor. Permutations of this arrangement produce excitatory and inhibitory interactions that mimic similar communications among neurons. The transistors and the wires that connect them are laid out on silicon chips.
