Thingmagic and 100 Uses of RFID

I talked to Thingmagic about ten years ago, shortly after their creation from work started at MIT, when the enterprise took a close look at the uses of the 'internet of things'  in retail.   I don't follow this space as closely as I used to, but I saw a Readwreiteweb article on them today that provided an update. It was widely expected that the RFID firms would consolidate and they were utimately acquired by the GPS navigation  firm Trimble last October. See their 100 uses of RFID for some good example of this technology, it is all possible and implemented today.
