We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Barcodes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release RFID tags handle barcode jobs from
IMEC, which we summarised at the time by saying "The new RFID system consists of a low-cost inductive antenna, capacitor, plastic rectifier and plastic circuit, all on foil".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Extra functions expand safety testing from
Clare Instruments: "Electronic product safety testing system is upgraded with increased current capability, improved software and product traceability features".
In February 2007, we covered the news from IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)
- take a look at IEC/ISO radio standards now available on CD
which says: "The IEC has just launched a second thematic collection of standards on radio frequency identification on CD-ROM".
Take a look also at the news release from Alps Electric (UK), Camera modules aid handset differentiation,
as well as RFID costs are barrier to adoption from Electronics Enabled Products KTN,
and RFID smoothes blood supply from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
