BIOCHIPS-A single electronics card may replace your wallet, your financial as well as medicinal records, your ATM no. etc. It consist of two components -Transponder and receiver . Biochips are very small size .These are implanted under the skin and works on low radio frequency signals. This technology is result of combination of Computer and Electrical Engineering.It is very helpful in modern digital scenario.

4. INTRODUCTION
• A single electronic card may replace everything in your wallet including. . Your cash ,
passport ,financial details etc.
• It is new type of bio-security device to accurately track information regarding
everything about a person.
• Surface area is no longer than a finger nail.
• Biochips are used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms.
• A biochip is a collection of miniaturized test sites (micro arrays) arranged on a solid
substrate that permits many tests to be performed at the same time in order to get higher
throughput and speed.
• Like a computer chip that can perform millions of mathematical operation in one
second, a biochip can perform thousands of biological operations, such as decoding
genes, in a few seconds.
5. HISTROY
• The Biochip technology was originally developed in 1983 .
• For instance, at least 6 million medical devices, such as artificial body parts (prosthetic
devices), breast implants, chin implants, etc., are implanted in people each year.
• In 1993, the Food and Drug Administration passed the Safe Medical Devices
Registration Act of 1993, requiring all artificial body implants to have "implanted"
identification — the biochip.
• The major biochip companies are A.V.I.D. (American Veterinary Identification
Devices), Trovan Identification Systems, and Destron-Fearing Corporation.
6. THE BIOCHIP TECHNOLOGY
• Biochips implant system is actually a fairly simple device.
• It is basically a small (micro) computer chip, inserted under skin for identification
purposes.
• It is radio frequency identification (RFID) system using low-frequency radio signals to
communicate between biochip & reader.
• The size of Biochip is of a size of an uncooked rice grain size. It ranges from 2inches
to 12inches.

TANSPONDER
• Actual biochip implant.
• Two types of transponder :Active and Passive Transponder.

8. BIOCHIPS IMPLANT
• The transponder is the actual biochip implant. It is a passive transponder, meaning it contains no
battery or energy of its own.
• Biochips has a very long life, up to 99 years, and no maintenance. Being passive, it's inactive
until the reader activates it by sending it a low-power electrical charge.
• The reader "reads" or "scans" the implanted biochip and receives back data (in this case an
identification number) from the biochip.
• The communication between biochip and reader is via low-frequency radio waves.
• The biochip transponder consists of four parts:
• i) Computer microchip:The microchip stores a unique identification number of 10 to15 digits.
• ii) Antenna coil:This tiny, radio antenna “receives & sends” radio signals from receiver
• iii) Tunning capacitor:This capacitor is charged by small signal sent by the reader.
• iv) Glass capsule: “houses” the microchip, antenna coil and capacitor. Made up of
biocompatible material such as soda lime glass.
9. WORKING
• The reader generates a low-power, electromagnetic field, in this case via radio
signals, which "activates" the implanted biochip.
• This "activation" enables the biochip to send the ID code back to the reader via radio
signals.
• Received code is converted to digital format decodes and displays the 10 number on
reader’s LCD display.
• This communication can be done through most materials ,except metal.

10. APPLICATIONS
• A biochip can store and update financial, medical, demographic data, basically
everything about a person.
• A biochip leads to a secured E-Commerce systems.
• Biochips really are potent in replacing passports, cash, medical records.
• Tracing of a person /animal ,anywhere in the world is possible with the implanted
Biochips.
Medicinal implementation
• 1. Biochips as Glucose detector
• 2.Biochips as an Blood Pressure sensor
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIOCHIP
• 1.DNA chip 2. Protein chip 3. Enzyme chip 4. Lab-on-a chip
11. TYPICAL PROBLEM OF BIOCHIPS: A SOLUTION PROPOSED
The Lock: Problem before the world
• A chip implant would contain a person’s financial world, medical history, health care — it
would contain his electronic life".
• Kidnappers will skin people to find them.
Our key: The solution
• A existing model of Biochips consists of only ROM component.
• The induction of RAM component in addition to ROM component.
• RAM needs to be continuously charged inorder to retain the data. Current can be supplied
to the chip either from the electrical energy produced in the cells. By converting the heat
energy in our body to electrical energy.
• Once if the chip is taken out from the human body RAM immediately loses the Power
supply from the human body; thus information in the RAM is lost.
12. MERITS & DEMERITS
MERITS
• Fast reaction times
• Low-cost, portable and disposable
• Compactness
• High-throughput
• To find lost people, and to identify person uniquely.
• In monitoring health conditions.
DEMERITS
• They raise critical issues of personal privacy.
• They may not be supported by large percentage of people.
13. FUTURE OF BIOCHIPS
• In science biochips will play a substantial role in the analysis of the genetic basis of
common diseases. If these diseases are understood once, the clinical use of biochips
will open an enormous potential for a predictive medicine.
• DNA chips will facilitate the integration of diagnosis and therapeutics, as well as the
introduction of personalized medicines.
CONCLUSION
• A chip might serve as a combination of credit cards, passport etc.
• No longer would it be needed to worry about losing the credit cards while traveling.
• A chip inserted in human body might also give us extra mental power.
