An innovative hardware design overcomes the collision problem. The transponders themselves are stored inside screening coils that can be magnetically disabled, allowing the reading of a single device in a close packed array. The technique can also be used to find the position of a particular transponder. Testing has, so far, been at room temperature but the system has been designed to operate down to liquid nitrogen temperatures.en610conference paper
