INTRODUCTION
Biochips are microprocessor chips-an outcome of the fields of Computer Science, Electronics & Biology.
Developed in 1983 for monitoring fisheries.
The major biochip companies are A.V.I.D. (American Veterinary Identification Devices), Trovan Identification Systems, and Destron-Fearing Corporation.
Its a bio-security device to accurately track information regarding what a person is doing, and who is actually doing it.
A single electronic card may replace everything in your wallet including, your cash, your credit cards, your ATM card, your ID cards, your insurance, medical records.
THE BIOCHIP TECHNOLOGY
Biochip implant is basically a small (micro) computer chip, inserted under the skin, for identification purposes.
The biochip system is radio frequency identification (RFID) system, using low-frequency radio signals to communicate between the biochip and reader.
THE TRANSPONDER
The transponder is the actual biochip implant.
It is passive -contains no battery or energy of its own.
Being Passive, it has a very long life, up to 99 years, and no maintenance.
It's inactive until the reader activates it by sending it a low-power electrical charge.
THE READER
It consists of :
An "exciter" coil which creates an EM field that, via radio signals, provides the necessary energy (less than 1/1000 of a watt) to "excite" or "activate" the implanted biochip.
A receiving coil that receives the ID number sent back from the "activated" implanted biochip.
This all takes place very fast, in milliseconds.
The reader also contains the software and components to decode the received code and display the result in an LCD display.
WORKING OF A BIOCHIP
The reader generates a low-power, electromagnetic field, via radio signals, which "activates" the implanted biochip.
This "activation" enables the biochip to send the ID code back to the reader via radio signals.
The reader amplifies the received code, converts it to digital format, decodes and displays the ID number on the reader's LCD display.
The reader must normally be between 2 and 12 inches near the biochip to communicate.
The reader and biochip can communicate through most materials, except metal.
