Appendix B: <strong>Wireless</strong> Glossary • 173 EPCglobal Network (or EPC Network): The Internet-based technologies and services designed for EPCs. ePedigree or Electronic pedigree: A secure file that stores data about each move a product makes through the supply chain. Pedigrees can help to reduce counterfeiting of drugs and other products. Encryption: A means of securing data, often applied to a plain or clear text, by converting it to a form that is unintelligible in the absence of an appropriate decryption key. Environmental parameters: Parameters, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, or noise that can have a bearing or impact upon system performance. Error: In digital data terms, error is a result of capture, storage, processing, or communication of data in which a bit or bits assume the wrong values, or bits are missing from a data stream. Error burst: A group of bits in which two successive erroneous bits are always separated by less than a given number of correct bits. Error control: A collective term to accommodate error detection and correction schemes applied to handle errors arising within a data capture or handling system. See also Redundancy. Error detection: A scheme or action to determine the presence of errors in a data stream. Error rate: The number of errors divided by the number of transactions. European Article Numbering (EAN): The bar-code standard used throughout Europe, Asia, and South America, administered by EAN International. Event data: Information related to a transaction or incident with significance to the business. If a tag on a pallet is read as the pallet leaves a dock door, an event is recorded (the pallet was shipped). If a reader reads a tag on a pallet in a storage bay 100 times per minute but the pallet never moves, data is generated, but there is no event. F Factory programming: The entering of data into a transponder as part of the manufacturing process, resulting in a read-only tag. Compare Field programming. © 2010 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
174 • Appendix B: <strong>Wireless</strong> Glossary Far field communication: The region of an electromagnetic radiation field at a distance from the antenna in which the field distribution is unaffected by the antenna structure and the wave propagates as a plane wave. Compare Near field communication. Field programming: The programming of information into a tag after shipment by the manufacturer, either by an OEM customer or end user. Field programming is often related to the tag’s target application. File: A set of data stored within a computer, portable data terminal, or information management system. Firmware: The coded instructions that are stored permanently in readonly memory. When upgrading a reader to read a new protocol, the firmware usually has to be changed. Some newer readers can be upgraded remotely over a network. Flat panel antenna: Flat antennas that are generally made of metal plate or foil and embedded in a label or other material. Form factor: The packaging in which a transponder can be put. These include thermal transfer labels, plastic cards, key fobs, and so on. Frequency: The number of cycles a periodic signal executes in unit time. Usually expressed in hertz (cycles per second) or appropriate weighted units such as kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), and gigahertz (GHz). G Global Commerce Initiative: A user group founded in October 1999 by manufacturers, retailers, and trade industry associations, to improve the performance of the international supply chain for consumer goods through the collaborative development and endorsement of recommended voluntary standards and best practices. Its charter is to drive the implementation of EAN.UCC standards and best practices, including use of EPC. Global data synchronization: This term generally refers to the process of ensuring that a manufacturer’s master files with product information match those of retailers. GDS is an important prerequisite to deploying RFID in open supply chains because companies need to ensure that RFID serial numbers refer to the right product information in a database. © 2010 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
