What is Tags: Definition and 22 Discussions

In information systems, a tag is a keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, database record, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system, although they may also be chosen from a controlled vocabulary.Tagging was popularized by websites associated with Web 2.0 and is an important feature of many Web 2.0 services. It is now also part of other database systems, desktop applications, and operating systems.

    How RFID Tags Work: Detailed Explanation for Physics Students

    I'm afraid my Google-fu is failing me. Try as I might, I can only find very basic descriptions online of how RFID tags (specifically passive ones) work. I'd like to actually know what the microcontroller in the tag does, and how it creates a signal the reader can pick up and decode. For example...

    LaTeX How can I fix messed up LaTeX in my old posts?

    I noticed that the LaTeX in one of my old posts is messed up. The problems start with this piece: ##C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4## The result should look like this: ##C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4## But instead it looks like this: ##C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4##. Actually it's even worse. The 4 is on a new...

    suppose Team Red wants to make RFID tags that only their own "authorized" scanners can pick up, such as for tagging merchandise in Walmart. Meanwhile Team Blue wants to be able to find any Team Red tags on items or prove that they are not there. They don't need to extract any info from the tags...

    Have you guys notice that supermarkets like to remove price tags?

    Like whenever you are buying anything and you want to see the price, it isn't there. Which is weird because another item beside it has a price tag. Like did someone just went up there and remove the price tag and then hide it somewhere else? I am sure whoever was stocking must have notice...

    Is there an easy way to convert $$ tags to [tex][/tex]?
