Activate/Deactiveable Security Tag With Enhanced Electronic Protection For Use With An Electronic Security System

View page
US Patent:
6400271, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Mar 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/528637
Inventors:
Lawrence Appalucci - Villanova PA
Alan Paul Dutcher - West Deptford NJ
Gary Thomas Mazoki - Sewell NJ
Anthony Frank Piccoli - Audubon NJ
Assignee:
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. - Thorofare NJ
International Classification:
G08B 1314
US Classification:
3405721, 3405722, 3405723
Abstract:
A security tag for use with an electronic security system which functions within a second frequency range comprises a substantially planar dielectric substrate having first and second sides. A first conductive pattern is provided on the first side of the substrate, the first conductive pattern comprising at least a first inductive element, a first plate of a first capacitive element and a first plate of a second capacitive element. A second conductive pattern located on the second side of the substrate comprises at least a second inductive element, a second plate of the first capacitive element and a second plate of a second capacitive element with the plates of the capacitive elements being generally aligned. The inductive elements and the capacitive elements form a resonant circuit which resonates at a first frequency within a first frequency range which is outside of the second frequency range. A direct electrical connection extends through the substrate to electrically connect the first conductive pattern to the second conductive pattern to thereby continuously maintain both sides of the substrate at substantially same static charge level.

US Classification:
296021, 29 2542, 29593, 29605, 29606, 29846, 29850, 174260, 174261, 324633, 324652, 324655, 324656, 336176, 336200, 336229, 3405721, 3405725, 427 79, 427 80, 361737, 361760, 361765, 361766
Abstract:
A method of making a resonant frequency tag which resonates at a predetermined frequency. The method involves providing a first conductive pattern having an inductive element and a first land and a second conductive pattern having a second land and a third land which are joined together by a link. The second conductive pattern is overlaid the first conductive pattern such that the second land is positioned over the first land. The third land is in electrical communication with the inductive element of the first conductive pattern. The formed resonant frequency tag is energized to determine if the tag resonates at the predetermined frequency. If the tag resonates properly, the third land is electrically coupled to the inductive element. If it does not, the second conductive pattern is adjusted so that overlapping portions of the first and second lands are changed, altering the capacitance to adjust the resonant tag frequency.

International Classification:
G06K 19/00
US Classification:
235488, 235487, 235492, 235495
Abstract:
A tag and method of making it. The tag includes a first adhesive layer provided in a first predetermined pattern between a surface of a first substrate and a first conductive foil. The first pattern corresponds to a pattern for a first conductive trace, e. g. , a portion of a resonant circuit. The first conductive foil is laminated, e. g. , adhesively secured, to the surface of the first substrate to form a first conductive layer. A first portion of that layer is shaped, e. g. , die-cut, to generally correspond to the first pattern. A second portion of the first conductive layer not corresponding to the first portion is removed, to establish the first conductive trace, with the adhesive layer confined within the boundaries of the first conductive trace. Another conductive trace is secured to the first conductive trace, with a dielectric therebetween, to form a resonant circuit.

International Classification:
G08B 13/14
US Classification:
3405721, 342 21, 3405727, 3405728
Abstract:
A security tag includes a combination of a resonant frequency circuit with an adjacent amplification shield for enhancing output signal amplitude. The amplification shield is located adjacent to the resonant frequency circuit and is preferably in the same or substantially the same plane as the resonant frequency circuit or is in a close, generally parallel plane. In an exemplary embodiment, the resonant frequency circuit includes an inductor electrically coupled to a capacitor. The resonant frequency circuit has a center frequency and is arranged to resonate in response to exposure to electromagnetic energy at or near the center frequency, providing an output signal having an amplitude. The amplification shield is arranged to direct a portion of the electromagnetic energy to the resonant frequency circuit to amplify the amplitude of the output signal from the resonant frequency circuit.
