    Abstract: Multi-mode (e.g., EAS and RFID) tags and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. The tag generally includes an antenna, an electronic article surveillance (EAS) function block coupled to the antenna, and one or more identification function blocks coupled to the antenna in parallel with the EAS function block. The method of reading the tag generally includes the steps of applying an electric field to the tag, detecting the tag when the electric field has a relatively low power, and detecting an identification signal from the tag when the electric field has a relatively high power. The present invention advantageously enables a single tag to be used for both inventory and anti-theft purposes, thereby improving inventory management and control at reduced system and/or “per-article” costs.

    Abstract: An example method of manufacturing a solid brazed laminate structure includes stacking a first lamina on a second lamina with an interfacial spacing between them, aligning mating portions of the first lamina and the second lamina, and introducing a braze material at least partially into the interfacial spacing to join the first lamina and the second lamina together. One example solid brazed laminate structure includes a lock assembly. Another example solid brazed structure includes a gear assembly.

    Abstract: A circuit and method of qualified anomaly detection provides detection and triggering on specific analog anomalies and/or digital data within a qualified area of a serial data stream. A start pattern within the serial data stream, such as a packet header, is detected to generate an enable signal. A stop event, such as a packet trailer, a specified digital event, a time interval or the like, is identified to generate a disable signal. The enable and disable signals are combined to produce a qualification signal that allows a trigger circuit to trigger on a specified anomaly within the portion of the serial data stream defined by the qualification signal.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided for the real time auditing of covert data marks. Specific information relating to a product or document is entered into an information cell or shell from a product data file. A high definition, high resolution, high speed inline video system is provided to take specific details from the individual product or document, which details are added to the data cell or shell. Details are then inspected, quality checked, matched in the event there are multiple identifiers (e.g., currency would normally carry two matching sequential numbers), and verified to the product order. This cell or shell is passed to the special design computer/controller through a high speed electronic interface. Information entering the computer/controller is once again verified and matched to the original data as well as the product or document. The cell or shell is converted into a specially created 2-dimensional bar code which is encrypted by the computer/controller and then transformed into a video rip. This video rip is sent to high quality/high resolution production print engines. The encrypted 2-dimensional bar code is imaged directly to the product or document as it is carried past the print imaging engines. The ink also is specially designed and manufactured for this system and process. It is an invisible ink which is unique, durable, permanent and not available commercially (covered under trade secrets). These special inks are well suited for delivery using inkjet technology to efficiently make well formed invisible images at slow to high speed production schemes. The product or document is then sent instantly into a drying scheme (this can be air, forced air, heat, UV Dryer, depending on the printing system selected). After drying there is a final scanning. This scanning equipment is the same scanner design which will be used in the field so that each product or document will be verified with the actual scanning device and programs which will be used in the field. From this final scanning of the 2-dimensional data bar code, a final audited product or document profile is created, as is a database which will be the point of reference in the infrastructure during the life of the product or document. Each time any product or document is scanned at a transaction point, the database will be updated, either in real-time or downloaded from a data collection scanning device. This will build a complete history from the point of manufacture to the moment it is removed from service.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for immobilizing a target such as a human or animal with a stimulus signal coupled to the target via numerous electrodes select particular electrodes to use for the stimulus signal. Subsets of electrodes may be tested by applying a test signal and monitoring the energy or charge delivered during a prescribed time. If the delivered energy or charge using a particular subset of electrodes as indicated by monitoring test pulse amplitude suitably compares to a limit, then the particular subset is selected for applying the stimulus signal. A first stimulus signal may be applied to a first subset of electrodes to prompt movement of the target toward an electrode that, when better coupled to the target as a consequence of movement of the target will provide a more effective subset of electrodes for further stimulus. For example, a projectile with closely spaced electrodes may stimulate a burning sensation to attract the target to impale the target's hand on a rear facing electrode of the projectile. Use of the rear facing electrode and one or more of the closely spaced electrodes may provide a more effective stimulus circuit through tissue of the target.
