An overview of HP memory-spot technology and its applications

Memory-spot is a revolutionary new paradigm for bridging the worlds of physical and digital media. Memory-spot is a small (several square mm), low cost, Mbit+ storage solution that can be embedded in or stuck on to paper, plastic, or any surface. It relies for power on inductive coupling from the read/writer and therefore requires no batteries. It incorporates a very fast (10 Mbps) contact-less method of data i/o based on inductive coupling at 2.45 GHz.
