Cards: Information
built 523 days ago
At the start of the CARDS development process, the ODS staff discussed the database project with NIH ICs including the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) which includes the NIH Nutrition Coordinating Committee (NCC). The NCC is charged with the maintenance of the Human Nutrition Research and Information Management (HNRIM) system. This resource is a Federal government-wide, online database created for the purpose of fiscal accounting, management, and control of cross-agency nutrition research activities. In fiscal year 1999, two new nutrition classification codes were added to HNRIM to identify for the first time research related to dietary supplements. With the addition of these new codes, HNRIM provided a readily accessible source of information that could be used to populate the CARDS database.

With the support of USAA, the San Antonio Police Department has developed Traffic Enforcement and Education cards, which starting April 4 will be given to drivers who are stopped for an aggressive driving offense by San Antonio Police Department traffic officers. On one side, the TEE Card offers a self- assessment for drivers to measure their tendency for aggressive driving. On the other side, information explains what drivers should do in the event they encounter another motorist exhibiting aggressive driving behavior.

The convenience, speed and efficiency provided by contactless technology in RFID and contactless smart cards are far superior to the capabilities of older technologies such as bar codes, magnetic stripes and paper-based tickets. Contactless cards, in particular, are capable of transacting more sensitive and confidential information than RFID cards/tags as they are usually equipped with higher authentication mechanisms and security layers. It should not be confused with RFID technology, which is more popular in instances where less confidential data are transacted and single application is used.
