 * 1) **bandwidth** - a data transmission rate; the maximum amount of information (bits/second) that can be transmitted along a channel
 * 2) **backbone** - the part of a network that connects other networks together; "the backbone is the part of a communication network that carries the heaviest traffic"
 * 3) **gateway** - a network node equipped for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols.
 * 4) **fiber-optic communication** - a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information.
 * 5) **server** - a computer that provides client stations with access to files and printers as shared resources to a computer network
 * 6) **biometric systems** - Biometrics consists of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits
 * 7) **digitizing** - is the representation of an object, image, sound, document or a signal (usually an analog signal) by a discrete set of its points or samples
 * 8) **database** - is a system intended to organize, store, and retrieve large amounts of data easily
 * 9) **smart card**- is any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits
 * 10)  **computer chip**- a small electronic circuit, also known as an integrated circuit, which is one of the basic components of most kinds of electronic devices, especially computers. They are used to transmit electronic data signals
 * 1) **resolution**- the number of pixels (individual points of color) contained on a display monitor, expressed in terms of the number of pixels on the horizontal axis and the number on the vertical axis.
 * 2) **high resolution**- Of or relating to an output device that produces images that contain a large number of dots per unit of area and are therefore sharp and detailed.
 * 3) **low resolution**- Of or relating to an output device, such as a printer, whose images do not contain a large number of dots per unit of area and therefore lack sharpness.
 * 4) **radio transmitter**- transmitter that is the part of a radio system that transmits signals
 * 5) **radio frequency** its a method used in RFID tags that transmit data over the distance through radio frequency emission
 * 6) **Ethernet** a type of network technology for local area networks; coaxial cable carries radio frequency signals between computers at a rate of 10 megabits per second
 * 7) **kiosk** An Interactive kiosk is a computer terminal that provides information access via electronic methods. Most kiosks provide unattended access to web applications.
 * 8) **annotate** An annotation is a summary made of information in a book, document, online record, video, software code or other information. ...
 * 9) **virtual reality [|baggage testing]**
 * 10) **IT handshaking**- an automated process of negotiation that dynamically sets parameters of a communications channel established between two systems before communication can begin
 * 11) **PLC**-(Programmable Logic Controller) controls large numbers of discrete elements using very fast I/O (Input/Output) scan times
