A tag for concealing in an object for providing antitheft protection and identification, and a system for incorporating the tag, include in one embodiment a magnetic antitheft element, and an identification code including a pattern of first and second segments of wires of high thermal conductivity situated at right angles to the antitheft element and in intimate thermal contact with the antitheft element. The length of the first segments is longer than the length of the second segments.

The invention relates to a special type of magnetic tag that serves both as an identifier of the article to which it is attached and as an antitheft device. The former attribute is especially important should stolen property be recovered. Identification comes about through the use of an array of individual magnetic elements that are closely spaced, preferably along and perpendicular to an amorphous wire or strip. The magnetic elements can take the form of magnetic ink, high coercivity wire, thin foil, or amorphous wire. The array may be personalized (coded) by leaving out elements of the array or driving selected elements to saturation while others remain demagnetized. The elements can also be in the form of a double array to constitute `1`s and `0`s to form a code. Reading of the elements is accomplished with a special reading head consisting or one or more small magnetic circuits coupled to one or more pickup loops. A longer length of soft magnetic wire or thin strip is used to trigger an anti-theft alarm when activated by an external field from a magnetic gate.

A transponder has a resonant RLC circuit with one or more electromagnetic energy storage components that vary in response to an externally applied modulating energy field. In addition to the externally modulating energy field, a base station transmits a carrier signal with a frequency essentially the same as the quiescent resonant frequency of the RLC circuit. As the component(s) vary, the resonant frequency of the RLC circuit changes, modulating the carrier signal with the external modulating energy field. Effects of the modulation are detected by the base station. Information (e.g., the presence of a tag) is obtained by receiving and demodulating the modulated signal at the base station. One or more of the circuit elements (e.g., different preferred embodiments of one or more capacitors, inductors, and resistors) can be varied (e.g. mechanically) to modulate the carrier signal. This allows the resonant circuit to modulate the carrier signal with multiple modulation frequencies to encode multiple bits of information on the carrier.

A process for electrolessly depositing cobalt-tin alloys with adjustable tin contents from 1 to over 25 atomic percent tin is disclosed. The deposited alloy is useful in the electronics and computer industries for device, chip interconnection and packaging applications. When used for chip interconnection applications, for example, the invention replaces the currently used complicated ball-limiting-metallurgy. The invention may also be used to inhibit hillock formation and electromigration in copper wire structures found in computers and micron dimension electronic devices.
