Glossary
Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is a method of automatic identification, and also a technology of storing information about an object and data updating on a device called RFID tag or transponder by means of radio frequency electromagnetic emission.
Reduced Instruction-Set Computer. Typical features of processors with RISC architecture: fixed length of machine instructions (for example 32 bits) and simple command format; one instruction performs only one memory operation – read or write. “Read-modify-write” operations are missing; big quantity of general purpose registers (32 and more).
Rapid Prototyping. Technologies used for quick creating of samples or working models of case elements for demonstration or model adjustment before serial production.
Real Time Clock
Real-Time Operating System. The following is characteristic of such operating systems: secured response time on external events (interruptions from equipment); hard subsystem of process planning (high-priority tasks should not be replaced by low-priority ones, with some exceptions); advanced requirements to response time on external events or responsiveness (delayed call of interrupt handler not more than dozen of microseconds, delay in task switching not more than hundred of microseconds).
Ruby is an interpreted, reflective, dynamic, object-oriented programming language used for server scripting, prototyping and solving usual programming tasks. Its main advantages are simple syntax, dynamic loading and high portability.
