    On a cloudy afternoon last September, Rubio watched Texas National Guard soldiers help passengers off planes at a small airport near College Station. All of them were running away from Hurricane (颶風(fēng)) Ike. They had something else in common as well. Each passenger wore a bright yellow wristband  (腕帶)  , RFID, developed by Rubio's company. The wristband had a computer chip, 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 Bubio'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 travelled 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," Rubio also achieved something else. She finally has the family life she always wanted.
