This is a complete revamp of SmartEnergy and has little resemblance to ZigBee SmartEnergy 1.1. SE 2.0 rides on top of ZigBee IP, which is IPV6 based 6lowpan and a few other IETF protocols for routing, network formation etc. <br /><br />It's easy to understand why many think that TCP/IP (not to mention an XML schema model) is a bit bloated for the inexpensive radios normally used in 802.15.4 networks. The fact that many 802.15.4 products are battery operated compounds the problem.<br /><br /><blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">San Ramon, Calif. – July 15, 2011</span> – The ZigBee® Alliance, a global ecosystem of organizations creating wireless solutions for use in energy management, residential, commercial and consumer applications, today announced a revised Smart Energy version 2.0 standard is available for public review and comment.<br /><br />The revised draft 0.7 document includes progress made by the Smart Energy Working Group on a variety of topics identified during the last ballot. The draft now enters the next 30-day ballot period and simultaneously, the Alliance will collect comments from various key external stakeholders and the public at large.<br /><br />“The ZigBee Alliance is committed to shepherding Smart Energy 2 through the various development milestones as efficiently and effectively as possible, while living up to its obligation to ensure an open and transparent process of standards development,” said Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance. “Continuing to involve the greater Smart Grid community is a promise we made because we know that gathering public input will ensure that Smart Energy 2 is a robust industry standard developed with the highest levels of participation and industry cooperation.”<br /><br />Public comments on the Smart Energy 2.0 Public Application Profile are accepted through online submission and all documents can be found at www.ZigBee.org/SmartEnergy. All comments must be received by August 15, 2011. The Alliance will announce future public comment periods based on the successful completion of development milestones.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />See <a href="http://www.zigbee.org/Default.aspx?Contenttype=ArticleDet&tabID=332">full press release</a> from the ZigBee Alliance<div class="blogger-post-footer"> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

A productivity tool for anyone: </span></span><a href="http://www.taskcoach.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Task Coach</span></span></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:verdana;font-size:11px;"><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and to-do lists. It grew out of Frank's frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to-do consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.</span></blockquote></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I attempted to use Task Coach a year or so ago and quit using it mostly due to my own lack of discipline. I'm going to give it another go and see if it can help me keep focused on the job.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:18px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:18px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">2. An IDE for Python developers: </span></span><a href="http://pythonide.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">SPE.</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></span><a href="http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2007/02/how-to-download-latest-spe-from_26.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">download w/ SVN</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not a fan of IDE's (Integrated Development Environments), I mean I have a half dozen embedded compilers in my office each with their own slightly different IDE. Some of these are good IDE's, for instance the <a href="http://www.ccsinfo.com/">CCS PIC compiler/toolset</a> is surprisingly very good -- especially when compared to the (admittedly free) toolset from microchip. I won't even mention the bloated monstrosity called Eclipse... oops too late.</div><div><br /></div><div>In any case, I'm tired of learning a new IDE every time I switch to a new project. I guess I'm a dinosaur or old dog not willing to learn new tricks... preferring Xemacs, bash and makefiles. But SPE caught my attention, and like TaskCoach above, I'm going to do my best to learn this new trick.</div><div><br /></div><div>SPE is the one-stop-shop for Python development. It has hooks to help with wxPython and wxGlade, two tools that someday, with enough perseverance will let me create the GUI test environments that I want but haven't been able to get off the ground. SPE also integrates PyFilling, Winpdb and PyChecker. It comes with full source and actually runs directly from the Python source files when checked-out from SVN.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

Such rules require devices using the UHF band to listen<br />before transmitting to ensure that a frequency channel is not already<br />in use by another interrogator. If a reader can not find a free<br />channel on which to transmit a signal, it could hamper a company's<br />business processes, such as moving a pallet of goods through a portal<br />reader...<br /></blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/2712/1/1/">see entire ETSI Sync article at RFID Journal</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

Well consider the following, which Wired responsibly points out: e-passport data can only be "unlocked" and accessed with a unique key code that is printed on the passport itself. A hacker would therefore need physical access to the passport before she could read its electronic contents, making it impossible for her to "skim" an e-passport chip from afar and use that data to manufacture a cloned version.<br /></blockquote><br />Should we ignore concerns about ePassports?<br /><br />No. <br /><br />We need to contain the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fud">FUD</a> and be mindful that RFID is just one tool to help with processing of travelers and their passports. Security personnel can't become completely reliant on the RFID information but must continue to verify passport photos and to use other verification methods as before. From an official at the US State Department:<br /><blockquote>"It's [RFID] an additional means of verifying that the person who is carrying the passport is the person to whom that passport was issued by the relevant government."<br /></blockquote>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

Relatively short read range and slower data rates when compared to higher frequencies. Best suited for application that do not require long range reading of multiple tags.</td> <td class="diagram">In large volumes, UHF tags have the potential for being cheaper than LF and HF tags due to recent advances in IC design. Offers good balance between range and performance - especially for reading multiple tags.</td> <td class="diagram">Similar characteristics to the UHF tag but with faster read rates.

According to a BBC News story, the latest batch of malicious hackers might target Radio Frequency ID tags to attack<br />computer systems.<br />Expert security researchers have now successfully infected an RFID tag with a computer virus, thus demonstrating how vulnerable this technology might be to such hackers. They urged tag manufacturers to introduce safeguards to guard against RFID-borne bugs. Andrew Tanenbaum, one of the researchers in the computer science department at Amsterdam's Free University that did the work, reportedly said their efforts were "intended as a wake-up call. We ask the RFID industry to design systems that are secure."<br /></blockquote>When this story first made the rounds a few weeks ago, I googled around and found the referenced <a href="http://www.rfidvirus.org/index.html">research paper</a>.<br /><br />It appears that the "virus" exploits a particular application software that interfaces to a particular RFID reader.<br /><br />The "virus" is SQL database commands embedded in the user data space of an HF RFID transponder. The user data is to contain a data field such as a persons name. For example: instead of "Damon Corbin" the tag contains "Damon Corbin'; UPDATE ContainerContents SET..." or something like that, confusing the application causing unintended or malicious behavior.<br /><br />The problem isn't with RFID, but with poorly written application code that fails to adequately validate it's input.<div class="blogger-post-footer"> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>
