  Human Microchip Implantation
Obviously, the use of a microchip implant would serve the purpose of a tamper-resistant[50] identification card, but it would also be connected to a computer-based registry to access desired information about an individual.
The implantable microchip could be monitored from the police station, a car or perhaps even a helicopter, in contrast to the current tethering device, which only works if the tagged individual remains close to the monitoring unit in his home.
The use of microchip implants in humans is such an instance, wherein the application of novel legal theories is required, because of the novelty and the direness of the implications for humans.

 microchip - a Whatis.com definition
A microchip (sometimes just called a "chip") is a unit of packaged computer circuitry (usually called an integrated circuit) that is manufactured from a material such as silicon at a very small scale.
Microchips are made for program logic (logic or microprocessor chips) and for computer memory (memory or RAM chips).
Microchips are also made that include both logic and memory and for special purposes such as analog-to-digital conversion, bit slicing, and gateways.

 A Controlled Release Microchip
We've developed a microchip that has the ability to store a large number of drugs or chemicals, control the time at which release begins, and control the rate at which the chemicals are released, all without moving parts.
Beginning with the initial microchip concept, John developed a process for fabricating controlled release microchips, designed experiments demonstrating proof-of-principle release of chemicals from prototype microchips, and found solutions for a number of the technical challenges that were encountered while developing the prototype device.
The microchip's release mechanism is based on the electrochemical dissolution of a thin membrane anode covering a reservoir filled with the chemical to be released.

 Pet Travel Scheme, Microchip
A microchip must first be implanted in the animal to identify it.
We do not specify a particular type or brand of microchip to be used but, in Europe ISO (International Standards Organisation) Standard microchips meeting specifications 11784 or Annex A of ISO Standard 11785 are generally used.
If the microchip does not meet either of these (ISO) Standards, you should provide your own microchip reader (at your expense) to enable the microchip number to be read successfully when your animal enters the UK or needs to be checked in a European PETS country.

The dog was immediately scanned for a microchip under Toronto Animal Control services unique microchip recovery program that ensures all stray animals are scanned for a microchip at first contact and if a microchip is present and the owner identified, the animal is driven home without ever entering the shelter facility.
The City of Toronto supports this program by encouraging microchip implantation through the establishment of a differential license fee structure, resulting in a free lifetime license for the city of Toronto if the pet is both sterilized and microchipped.
Through the use of a single, common microchip technology, compatibility between the various microchips and readers is ensured, regardless of manufacturer and where one lives in the world, replacing the historical multiple different forms of the technology many of which were incompatible (see related microchip story under News From Around the World).
