一起加油吧<8>

到頭來

等過了中高, 會更覺得自己的英文哪裡不夠好,哪裡需要加強

恩, 越來越渺小是吧(!?) 有點這種感覺

不過這是成長XD|||

我也覺得考完試才發現

自己讀的書或背的單字實在很不夠：（

要加油拉!!

我也要去考中高：）

daddy556677 · September 2, 2006

對

加油

一定要考過

eternalheast · September 2, 2006

大家都過中高級了阿...

埃..

話說我明年才要考中級耶...

英文太爛了= ='

shiungchi · September 12, 2006

中高大概要多少單字量才行阿?

我畢業的時候好像也要過才可以...

本班有香肉 · September 24, 2006

話說我總覺得自己單字能力不足～～「現在得開始狂背了」，聽力要怎磨準備阿？:s

艾倫金 · October 5, 2006

背單字

去GEPT的網站下載字表

字彙量大約8000多

我也在準備中高

但是我中級複試還沒過

不是過不了是初試和複試中間休息太久還延期一天

不過我就算過不了我還是會直接去考中高

因為我初級也沒去考

其實到了英檢中級(GEPT Intermediate Level)階段，就要開始有技巧的吃單字。

像是按照英文的字首(Prefix)與字根(Root)，也可以依照單字解釋達成系統記憶。

舉例來說：

字首法(Method of Word Prefix)：

export→ex(向外) + port(搬運)→out + port = 往外搬運 = 出口 v.

import→im(向內) + port(搬運)→in + port = 往內搬運 = 進口 v.

字根法(Method of Word Root)：

inscribe→in(向內) + scribe→in + write = 寫在裡面 = 雕刻 v.

describ→de(拿開) + scrib→away + write = 拿出寫的 = 描述 v.

prescribe→pre(預先) + scribe→pre + write = 預先寫好 = 開處方簽 v.

subscribe→sub(下方) + scribe→under + write = 寫在下方 = 訂閱 v.

同義字法(Method of Synonymous Words)：

insept、examinate、survey、check ...... etc(臨時由大腦翻出來，可能舉的不是很好。)

動詞片語法(Method of Verb Phrases)：

take sth apart = Separate = 分離

take sth away = Remove = 拿開

take sth back = Return = 買回

take sth down = Write = 寫下

take sth in = Understand = 理解

......etc(這些當然也是我臨時想的！)

等級不同，不敷使用？你說中級與中高級不同，我告訴你中高級也可以這樣玩，不信我們拿幾個 wordlist 內的字來玩看看。

abandon = ab + bandon = to + ban = 去排除 = 放棄 v.

abbreviate = ab + breve + i + ate = to + brief = 使簡短 = 縮寫 v.

abdicate = ab + dic + ate = to + say + ate = 去說不再命令 = 放棄王位 v.

aberrant = ab + err + ant = to + error = 走向錯誤 = 非常規的 adj.

abeyance = ab + abey + ance = to + obey + ance = 去遵循停火 = 終止 v.

......etc(其他請各位看官自己去 GEPT 官方網站抓來慢慢玩！) :D

如果以上有錯誤，麻煩各位大大不吝糾正，順便說一下中高級聽力要怎麼準備吧（本人聽力爛的可以囧）！

Allow me to use English.

In my opinion, vocabularies aren't that important. The most important part of learning English is to communicate with people, so the easiest way to improve English is to talk to people... etc.

I don't know, just my thought, but apparently Taiwanese English teachers don't completely agree...

同意...

但是你說的方法比較適合去準備GRE或者IELT

順帶一提...我個人不覺得GEPT有啥用...

Agreed. You learn vocabularies anyway through normal communication, reading a lot of books, watching movies, listening to music etc.etc. Learning the vocabulary as if you're eating the pages off the book will probably only get you through these exams, but never come into any use in terms of practical communication.

I'm preparing JPLT right now (level 2) so this is probably similar. I've never learnt Japanese properly in my life. I just watched a lot of anime and J-drama, listened to a lot of Japanese music, read a lot of Japanese manga and novel and talk to actual Japanese people through clubs and basically learnt it little by little through that. My only disadvantage of this is that I never learnt any real grammar. My Japanese grammar is basically the product of natural adaption. To me, if it sounds right, then I guess it's right. I never really understood why you should use "ga" instead of "ha" in certain circumstances and never really cared and through most part, I'm pretty much right 'cause the long years of just learning the language through culture adaption have given me a natural instinct of the language. Of course, when you're going to actually SIT for some exam, it's a differnt story. I've tried both the listening and reading of past JPLT tests and to me, it was synch. I've read and listened enough to the point that the language is pretty much part of me (ie. I don't translate it to Chinese or English - I hear or read and I understand) However, when I come to the grammatical part, I don't do so well. Formalities, in the end, gets in the way.

Anyways, I guess I'm trying to say, DON'T JUST EAT THE BOOKS. Read as much as you can, write as much as you can, listen as much as you can. When you're learning the vocabulary, try learn it in context. Don't just go:

dog = 狗

You'll never get anywhere. You might be able to cram them all in in time for the exam but you'll never be able to use it practically and effectively in real life. Of course, if you just want the certificate and could care less for practical use, then by all means, learn it like a sheep. If you do intend to make better use of it later on, then try get in touch with the culture. Hollywood movies are just everywhere. Try watching them as much as you can - and if possible, without subtitles. Force yourself to listen to the dialogue. You'll guess what's going on anyways since there's action. Over a period of time, the language will flow into you.

Anyways, that's just my take.

abtvctkto61 · October 19, 2006

^^^

Totally.

As for reading, I'd suggest you start with books like "the Hatchet," which is for, like, second-graders. This book shouldn't be too hard for a hish-school student.

When reading or listening or talking, don't go through an English<->Chinese translation process, it will slow your thinking down a LOT, and it is very easy to make mistakes during this process.

Oh and for listening, I wouldn't suggest listening to Studio Classroom dialogues -- they have weird talking speed.....

Introduction

Will Radio Frequency identification (RFID) be the way of the future? Some are skeptical, while others are confident that the technology is the answer to problems that various companies are facing today. If you find yourself skeptical of the technology, here is something to ponder. If you, or someone you know, grew up in the 50’s, you might remember thinking the concept of a barcode would never be possible. Now you might have a hard time finding a product without a barcode on it. The same concept holds true for RFID, only RFID is still in the infancy stage. RFID has various potential applications throughout the supply chain, however, RFID is still in the infancy stage and there are challenges to overcome. No one can say for sure what the future holds, however, it is certain that RFID use will continue to grow and its benefits will be realized.

So what is RFID? RFID is an automatic identification and data capture technology (AIDC). According to the RFID Journal Glossary of Terms, AIDC is a broad term that encompasses ways to gather data and transmit it to a computer without the need for human involvement (p.1). Some examples of AIDC technologies are barcodes, biometrics, smart cards, and RFID. Although there are benefits of using other existing or emerging technologies, this research will focus on RFID, which uses radio frequency waves to transmit data. There is extensive documented research and many scholarly articles about RFID components, advantages and disadvantages of the technology, and potential applications of RFID. Therefore, this research will focus on a particular application of RFID, one that many companies are interested in. The topic of this research is RFID and its use with conveyor systems.

This research applies to companies that are relatively unfamiliar with the technology, and are faced with a major compliance problem. It also applies to the companies that are implementing RFID equipment and are requiring that their suppliers’ tagged product read when using their RFID equipment. With the increasing demand for automated processes, RFID equipment in conveyor systems is a viable way to utilize the technology. However, it will be a challenge to ensure accurate reads as product flies through conveyor systems at high speeds. This research seeks to identify potential problem areas and make recommendations involving RFID and conveyors.

So why is RFID and conveyor systems an increasing area of interest? Super giants such as Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense, as well as other RFID drivers, are currently requiring that their top 100 suppliers tag all products at the pallet and case level (Rommell p.2). In the near future, these companies plan on requiring all suppliers to tag their product with RFID tags, and eventually it will be at the item level. Currently, most are requiring that tags read at the pallet level, and pallets are not an issue with conveyors. However, the date is fast approaching when case level tags will be required to read as well. This brings us to the reason for this research.

A good majority of the cases of product that pass through the facilities of the corporations requiring RFID tagging are sorted and shipped in distribution centers via conveyor belt systems. For example, Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense will require that tags on cases read on a conveyor belt at speeds of up to 600 feet per minute (Rommell p.2 and Hartman p.3). For suppliers, this means they will have to ensure the cases are tagged properly to be read at these high speeds when traveling through a conveyor system. For the customers, this means they will have to implement the proper amount of equipment to best read the variety of product coming down their conveyor systems.

For this reason, we have tested the feasibility of RFID on conveyor systems to identify any weaknesses or potential problems and make recommendations based on conclusions from our research. We have tested a broad array of products, tag orientations, and antennae combinations to make these recommendations. Our conclusions are useful to a company when deciding which tag orientation and antennae setup will produce the best results when RFID is coupled with a conveyor system. The conclusions also address other options that companies have, such as redesigning the packaging material or adding additional packaging material, if necessary, to better work with RFID equipment.

This research begins with an overview of previous literature written about the areas of interest in this study, and then moves to an explanation of the testing methodology, next to a visual schematic of the testing model and diagram, and then an explanation of results and conclusions of the research study. Concluding the research will be a summary of the recommendations, which will be useful for companies looking into implementing RFID equipment within a conveyor system, or companies that are required to have their tagged product successfully read when passing through another company’s facilities. Finally, there will be a brief discussion of possible future directions for further research.

Literature Overview

Radio Frequency Identification has been subject to extensive research in recent years. Therefore, there is a broad array of information available, mostly through the internet that does an excellent job of explaining what RFID actually is and how it operates. Sources include the RFID Journal, Packaging Digest, and RFID equipment manufacturer websites. There are also a plethora of scholarly articles and other published documentation that extensively addresses the benefits of RFID, which range from inventory control to the tracking of small children in amusement parks. These sources available to the general public have explained the many applications of RFID in various industries across the market, as well as the challenges that accompany the implementation into these industries.

The demand for RFID systems is increasing as a result of RFID drivers such as Wal-Mart, as is the need for information on how to best apply RFID equipment with diverse product lines (ElAmin). Furthermore, as the use of automated conveyor systems increase, and the use of RFID increases, a viable option is to integrate the two. There is documented research that addresses the issue of implementing RFID into conveyor systems but does not offer enough data to confidently implement it (Selecting). However, after conducting research, it was realized that most articles suggest that RFID equipment needs are dependant on the product when using conveyor systems (Crook p.2). We did not find an extensive amount of specific research on how certain items react in these environments and what the needs will be when certain types of product are used, such as metal or water, which are known to be challenges of RFID. Furthermore, we did not find extensive recommendations as to the best antennae setup and tag orientation is for specific products when used in a conveyor environment.

Knowledge gained from several course labs helped us conclude that circular antenna usually has better reading overall. A Circular antenna tends to cover a broader area than a linear antenna (Lab 3, 8). We also learned tag orientations (Lab 2) and number of antennae (Lab 6) could also determine tag readability. Therefore we applied this information on setting up this lab and testing methodology.

Test Methodology

The purpose of this lab was to test the feasibility of reading cases of product when passing through a conveyor system. To determine the most efficient tag orientation and antennae placement system for different types of product, we tested various combinations of the variables mentioned.

We have chosen to use Sensormatic circular antennae in our testing, as read range is not usually the issue with conveyor systems. The circular antennae are less orientation sensitive, and therefore in most cases it is best to use circular antennae rather than linear antennae in a conveyor system. A conveyor with a speed of 270 feet per minute was used (see calculations). Although the speed doesn’t meet the Wal-Mart and other major retail store mandates, it gives sufficient representation of RFID application on a conveyor system.

The testing involved running product down a conveyor in six different orientations consisting of the tag facing the front, rear, east, west, up and down. The products used were a case of 14/13.5oz. boxes of Rice Krispies, case of bottled water (bottled by the lab), 50 pack of Memorex CD-R’s, a case of 12/12oz. Heineken aluminum cans, and a case of 24/500ml Biota Colorado Pure Spring Water.

Initially, the west antenna was used and each of the six products were tested a total of fifteen times in each of the six orientations. Next, the process was repeated using both the west and east antennae. Finally, the process was repeated using all three antennae (west, east, and above).

Calculations

Conveyor Speed Calculation

One revolution = 5 seconds

One revolution = 270 inches

270 inches / 5 seconds = 54 in/sec

54 inches per seconds / 12 inches per feet = 4.5 feet/second

4.5 feet per second * 60 seconds = 270 feet per minute
