Invisible RFID Ink for Humans

By David J. Stewart

       Mark of the Beast technology is here. Technology has advanced astronomically over the past decade, and if we live to see the next 25-years of the future, only God in Heaven knows what men will be capable of. The following information clearly shows that for the first time in mankind's history, we now have the technology to place an invisible Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) on a person's skin.

Photo to right: an RFID tag. These devices can now be printed with invisible ink onto human beings for tracking, data storage, and to make financial transactions of every sort, even calculating costs.

RFID tags are an improvement over bar codes because the tags have read and write capabilities. Data stored on RFID tags can be changed, updated and locked. Some stores that have begun using RFID tags have found that the technology offers a better way to track merchandise for stocking and marketing purposes. Through RFID tags, stores can see how quickly the products leave the shelves and who's buying them.

In addition to retail merchandise, RFID tags have also been added to transportation devices like highway toll passcards and subway passes. Because of their ability to store data so efficiently, RFID tags can tabulate the cost of tolls and fares and deduct the cost electronically from the amount of money that the user places on the card. Rather than waiting to pay a toll at a tollbooth or shelling out coins at a token counter, passengers use RFID chip-embedded passes like debit cards.

People have no clue just how much a part of our everyday lives RFID's are becoming. We'll soon be able to shop for items and walk out of a grocery store without checking out. The items will be RFID scanned and your bank charged for the items to your account.

Invisible RFID Ink Safe For Cattle And People, Company Says
The process involves micro-needles and an ink capsule to create a stamp that can be read from four feet away

A startup company has developed a chipless radio frequency identification ink that it says has been successfully stamped on cattle and read from as much as 4 feet away.

The most common RFID systems, such as those used for toll-road passes or for tracking merchandise in warehouses, contain a chip and antenna. The process revealed by Somark Innovations last week uses an array of microneedles and an applicator with a one-time-use ink capsule to stamp an animal. The ink can be colored or invisible, and applied through fur.

The company sees a market for the passive RFID technology to track cows in order to reduce financial losses from cases of mad cow disease. Somark, formed in 2005 in St. Louis, is raising venture financing and hopes to license the technology for use with laboratory animals, dogs, and cats; for tracking prime cuts of meat; and even for tracking military personnel.

Ranchers might want an invisible stamp in order to make it more difficult for cattle thieves to tell which animals have been marked. Today, cattle are often tracked with ear tags.

Current chipless RFID systems include those with metal fibers embedded in paper and packaging materials. Other uses include tracking documents, preventing counterfeits, and creating "smart labels."
