摘要:
In general, the invention is directed to techniques for creating and controlling a magnetic field for use with electronic article surveillance (EAS) markers. In particular, the techniques make use of current switching devices to generate a signal having one or more current pulses for creating the magnetic field. An electronic article surveillance (EAS) system includes a coil to create a magnetic field for changing a status of an EAS marker and a drive unit to output a signal having one or more current pulses for energizing the coil. A programmable processor within the EAS system controls the drive unit to generate the output signal according to a desired profile. By selectively activating and deactivating current switching devices within the drive unit, the processor can direct the drive unit to generate the output signal according to a desired profile having a number of current pulses of different amplitudes and direction.
摘要:
A device is disclosed for activating and deactivating magnetic electronic article surveillance (EAS) markers, and particularly those EAS markers that are associated with magnetically recorded media. In one embodiment, the device includes control circuitry comprising a coil, such as a solenoid-type coil, that provides a substantially uniform magnetic field that reliably activates and deactivates the marker, yet doesn't damage the magnetically-recorded media.

A device is disclosed for activating and deactivating magnetic electronic article surveillance (EAS) markers. In one embodiment, the device includes control circuitry comprising a coil, such as a solenoid-type coil, that provides a magnetic field in one direction and another coil that provides a magnetic field in a substantially perpendicular direction, so that EAS markers that pass through the device are positioned generally in the plane defined by the first and second directions.
