Filed:

May 4, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/848827

Inventors:

Eric Eckstein - Merion Station PA, US
John D. Paranzino - Sewell NJ, US
Nimesh Shah - Marlton NJ, US

Assignee:

Checkpoint Systems, Inc. - Thorofare NJ

International Classification:

G08B013/14

US Classification:

3405721, 3405724, 3405681, 340505

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for detecting the presence of an article. The system includes a transmitter for radiating a first electromagnetic signal at a predetermined primary frequency and a resonant tag secured to the article. The resonant tag generates a second electromagnetic signal in response to receiving the first electromagnetic signal. The second electromagnetic signal has components at the primary frequency and at a predetermined secondary frequency different from the primary frequency. The system also includes a receiver for receiving the second electromagnetic signal and a computer connected to an output of the receiver. The computer processes the received second electromagnetic signal and generates an output signal when the secondary frequency is detected in the second electromagnetic signal.

Assignee:

Checkpoint Systems, Inc., a Corp. of Pennsylvania - Thorofare NJ

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

3405724

Abstract:

A pulse-listen electronic article security (EAS) system for detecting the presence of a security tag within a detection zone is disclosed. The EAS system includes a transmitter for radiating a first electromagnetic signal into the detection zone. The first electromagnetic signal is a time sequence of RF bursts emitted during each of a plurality of contiguous frame intervals in which the duration of each of the frame intervals is one of a plurality of different values. The EAS system also includes a receiver synchronized with the transmitter for receiving a second electromagnetic signal re-radiated from a security tag in the detection zone in response to the first electromagnetic signal. The receiver provides an output signal if a security tag is detected. The values of the plurality of the frame interval durations are selected to be different from the values of frame interval durations of other EAS systems thereby rendering the EAS system substantially free of false alarms or blockages caused by the operation of other EAS systems.

International Classification:

G08B 13/24

US Classification:

3405727

Abstract:

A system and device for detecting and/or deactivating a security tag when passing through an electronic article surveillance (EAS) portal. The portal may be oriented by the arrangement of one or more antennas to generate an electromagnetic field at or within the portal to detect and/or deactivate the security tag. The electromagnetic field may detect and/or deactivate a security tag located at any orientation on merchandise as the security tag passes through the portal. The portal may be mounted on a counter at a point-of-sale station in which merchandise having security tags attached thereto are passed through the portal. The portal may also be mounted to a floor in which a shopping cart having merchandise is passed through the portal so that security tags attached to the merchandise in the cart are detected and/or deactivated.
