English

Subject field(s)
  • Tracks and Roadways (Rail Transport)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A rate at which an RFID [radio frequency identification] system may reliably read desired tags under defined conditions.

CONT

Although RFID technology is expected to work extremely well, the read rate can be highly affected by various factors such as the content of the tagged products, the reader's capability as well as interference with other tags and objects.

OBS

read rate: term and definition standardized by ISO/IEC [International Electrotechnical Commission].

French

Domaine(s)

  • Télédétection
DEF

Taux auquel un système d'identification par radiofréquence (RFID) peut lire de manière fiable les étiquettes désirées sous des conditions définies.

CONT

Même si la technologie RFID est censée très bien fonctionner, le taux de lecture peut être énormément affecté par différents facteurs, comme le contenu des produits étiquetés, la capacité du lecteur ainsi que l'interférence avec d'autres étiquettes et objets.

Record 7 2008-10-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

Exceptionally, mere failure to terminate "inconsistent dealings" is treated as actionable : at least this is well established with respect to retaining a servant once it has come to one's knowledge, after hiring him, that he is already bound to someone else. But if the interference consists in making an inconsistent contract, knowledge attained only thereafter comes too late, even when the inconsistent contract could be rescinded with impunity.... it has been held actionable as "inconsistent dealings" to accept an offer to purchase a piece of land in known violation of a restrictive covenant, or a motorcar in disregard of a covenant against resale, which is either case contractually bond the vendor.
