Question 1

Which social media site uses LBS?
A)Foursquare
B)iTunes
C)Google
D)YouTube

Accepted Answer

Foursquare is a social media site that uses LBS (location-based services) to help users find and share information about nearby businesses or places of interest. Users can "check in" at various locations, leaving tips or recommendations for others who may visit. Other social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram also use some LBS features, but they are not as central to the platform as they are in Foursquare.

Question 2

Which tags use a battery to run the microchip's circuitry but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader?
A)Active RFID
B)Semipassive RFID
C)RFID Accelerometer
D)Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

Semipassive RFID tags have a battery that powers the microchip's circuitry but do not use the battery to communicate with the reader. Instead, they draw power from the reader during communication. Active RFID tags have a battery that powers both the microchip's circuitry and communication with the reader. RFID Accelerometer is a type of RFID tag that includes an accelerometer sensor to detect motion or vibration. Chipless RFID tags do not have a microchip and rely on other means of storing and transmitting data, such as using printed conductive ink.

Question 3

What occurs when a company places active or semipassive RFID tags on expensive products or assets to gather data on the items location with little or no manual intervention?
A)Active RFID
B)Semipassive RFID
C)RFID Accelerometer
D)Asset tracking

Accepted Answer

Placing RFID tags on expensive products or assets for the purpose of location tracking without much manual intervention is called asset tracking. Active and semipassive RFID are types of RFID technology that can be used for asset tracking, but they are not the specific name for this practice. RFID accelerometer is not related to the given scenario.

Question 4

Which tags do not depend on a silicon microchip and use plastic or conductive polymers instead of silicon-based microchips allowing them to be washed or exposed to water without damaging the chip?
A)Active RFID
B)Semipassive RFID
C)RFID Accelerometer
D)Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

Chipless RFID tags do not rely on silicon microchips and can use materials such as conductive polymers or ink to store and transmit information. This makes them suitable for use in environments where exposure to water or washing is likely, as they do not have a vulnerable microchip component.

Question 5

What is a device that measures the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of an item and is used to track truck speeds or taxi cab speeds?
A)Active RFID
B)Semipassive RFID
C)RFID Accelerometer
D)Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

An RFID accelerometer is a device that measures acceleration and is commonly used to track speeds of vehicles such as trucks and taxis. Active RFID and semipassive RFID are types of RFID technology that do not have the capability to measure acceleration. Chipless RFID refers to a type of RFID tag that does not have an integrated circuit.

A)Automatic vehicle location
B)Geographic information system
C)Cartography
D)Edge matching

Accepted Answer

Geographic information systems (GIS) are the tools used for storing, analyzing, and visualizing geographic data. This includes creating charts or maps that display the data in multidimensional ways, making it easier for researchers to identify patterns or relationships. GIS can be used for a wide range of applications, from monitoring global warming to tracking disease outbreaks. Automatic vehicle location (AVL) is a related technology used for tracking the location of vehicles, while cartography and edge matching are specific techniques used in the creation of maps.

A)Active RFID
B)Semipassive RFID
C)RFID Accelerometer
D)Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

Active RFID tags have their own power source, typically a battery, that allows them to constantly emit a signal and have a longer read range than passive RFID tags.

IT consumerization refers to the blending of personal and business use of technology devices and applications, allowing users to use their personal devices for work purposes and access business applications from their personal devices. This trend has been driven by the popularity of consumer devices, such as smartphones and tablets, which are now being used for both personal and professional use.

Question 12

Which of the following is not a primary use of GIS?
A)Finding what is nearby from a specific location
B)Mapping densities
C)Routing information
D)Ensuring safety equipment is on an airplane before a flight

Question 15

Which business application uses location information to provide a service and is designed to give mobile users instant access to personalized local content?
A)Radio-frequency identification
B)Global positioning systems
C)Geographic information systems
D)Location-based services

Accepted Answer

Location-based services use location information to provide personalized content to mobile users, making it the best choice for this business application. Radio-frequency identification and global positioning systems may provide location information, but they are not designed to provide personalized local content. Geographic information systems are designed for data visualization and analysis, not necessarily for personalized content delivery.

Question 16

What is an RFID tag device made up of?
A)Chip, antenna
B)Chip, reader
C)Battery, reader
D)Battery, antenna

Accepted Answer

An RFID tag device is made up of a chip and an antenna. The chip contains the unique identifier or data, while the antenna is used to transmit and receive signals to and from an RFID reader. Some RFID tags may also have a battery to power the chip and send stronger signals. However, the most common RFID tags are passive and do not require a battery.
