On a cloudy aftemoon last September, Rubio watched Texas National Cuard soldiers help passengers
off planes at a small airport near College Station. All of them were running away from Hurricane (飓风) Ike.
They had something else in common as well. Each passenger wore a bright yellow wristband (腕标), RFID,
developed by Rubio's company. The wristband had a computer chip (芯片), which allowed the state's
emergency response center (急救中心) to follow the person who wore it.
"The wristband really made a difference," says Rubio, adding that thousands of families who called the
state's emergency response center during the hurricane were able to find loved ones. The wristbands also
made a lot of money for Rubio's company.
That's a goal Rubio could not have imagined even a few years ago, as a 36-year-old stay-at-home mum
with three kids under ten and a husband who traveled for work five days a week. "All I wanted was to have
my family back together," she says.
Rubio considered doing something different after the birth of her third child and returned to work. A friend
suggested the technology of RFID. It wasn't new but was mainly used to find packages.
Rubio began imagining wider use of RFID, and in 2005 the wristband appeared at a business conference and
did a good job. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the company further used the technology, and later during
Ike about 27,000 people were successfully saved.
"I'm a mum with three kids or a woman in a technology field. I've succeeded and got confidence (信心)."
Rubio also achieved something else. She finally has the family life she always wanted. |
