* In Europe, this system has already been used at track and field events
* where the competitors wear the device attached to their jersey. This
* provides their coordinates during each event and can be used for the

* Widespread use among sports figures could go a long

* According to microchip researcher Terry Cook, U.S. military recruits are
* also being introduced to the bracelet, just as Marine recruits at Parris
* Island helped test the military's Smartcard prototype.

* Eagle Eye Technologies of Herndon, Virginia is marketing a microchip
* embedded in a sportswatch to be worn by Alzheimer patients who have a
* tendency to wander. When the patient strays from home, Eagle Eye calls up
* an orbiting satellite, which "interrogates" the patient's microchip to
* determine the patient's position to within the length of a football field.

* Notably, Eagle Eye Technologies received its initial funding from the
