Ubisense Tracking Cow Health
The company, which uses active tags to determine their locations, now has them on cows in partnership with Danish Smarterfarming. The tags help farmers track behavior which can help identify illness. For example, one disease is preceded by shorter eating times a few days before the animal becomes ill. The tags could help find "soon to be ill" cows and speed treatment, which means, fewer sick days and more milk.

Trash Track: MIT Tracks "Removal Chain"
Two cities, Seattle and New York will be participating in the project from the MIT SENSEable City Lab. It's just what you might think: representative trash from volunteer households will be tagged (they didn't get into the tech), then its path through the waste stream is publicly mapped in real time. The real time data will be available on the Web beginning in September. The idea? The more we know about where our trash goes, the more likely we are to aim for recyclable products over those that will end up in landfills.
