How blood is defined..

Four fold table- Landsteiner’s ABO blood-type system

In this system, you either have base substance A in your blood or not, AND you either have base substance B or not. Four possible blood types are thus defined -- or hypothesized. At one extreme, if neither A nor B is present, you have blood type 0, the universal donor. At the other extreme, if both are present, you have type AB – the universal receiver.

Barcode and UID

UID is considered as a major project in the country. IN the future, i see lot of compANIES would start utilising the UID no. I am seeing a lot of companies boasting that they would use UID no in their normal setup.

I see barcode has lot of potential which i should explore in the future.

The advantages of using barcode in the UID no is numerous.
Since, UID no can be related to the bank account, generating a barcode and placing a barcode reader would replace a no of handheld devices and would assist the banking transactions at the malls in a very good fashion.

FOr example, an IT company may contract with a private agency to produce barcodes and give it to their employers. The employers can say, will be able to stick the barcodes in the t-shirts or some other shirts etc.

When he/she visits a big mall, let us assume, at the initial entry, the barcode may be read and can be authenticated using biometric.

After that, he/she can do the shopping entirely with absolutely no cash in hand. In the billing counter, the barcode will be scanned. After all, the barcode will read the UID no, the UID no will be connected to the bank amount / credit card. Hence, the money can be debited by the malls easily. For safety purposes, the photograph at the entry may be sent to each counters and can be verified whenever at the counter with the persons facial image.

This would drastically reduce the transaction cost - comfort for the merchants.
no cards, no cash - comfort for customers.
no cash movements - good for india..

Probably, this would be a future!
