    摘要: An EAS presence detection system includes a transmitter for transmitting an electromagnetic radiation signal of a first predetermined frequency into a surveillance zone; a tag for attachment to an article to be detected within the surveillance zone, the tag containing a transponder including a material that, when in the presence of a magnetic bias field within a predetermined magnetic field intensity range, responds to detection of electromagnetic radiation of the said first predetermined frequency by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of a second predetermined frequency that is either a multiple harmonic or a frequency-divided quotient of the first predetermined frequency or at the first frequency; a detection system disposed for detecting radiation of the second predetermined frequency within the surveillance zone; and a magnetic field source for providing a magnetic bias field within the predetermined magnetic field intensity range within the surveillance zone. The magnetic field source includes a coil disposed in or adjacent the surveillance zone and an adjustable current source for causing a current to flow through the coil to provide a magnetic bias field within the surveillance zone. The coil is a large aperture solenoid coil wound on a core of metallic material of high permeability and high magnetic saturation. The core may be shielded from the electromagnetic radiation field of the first predetermined frequency by a non-ferrous electrically conductive tube disposed around the coil. The amplitude of the current is adjusted to provide a magnetic bias field within said predetermined magnetic field intensity range within the surveillance zone. The amplitude of the current is varied to sweep the intensity of the magnetic bias field through such a range of magnetic field intensities as to cause the magnetic bias field within each portion of the surveillance zone to be within said predetermined magnetic field intensity range during at least a portion of said sweep. A control system is coupled to the detection system and the adjusting means to determine whether detection by the detection means of electromagnetic radiation at the second predetermined frequency is due to the movement of a tag through the surveillance system or is due to the presence of a stationary tag in or near the surveillance zone.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to perform resonant recharge transfers energy from an AC power source (e.g., a power line) or from a DC power source or from bulk capacitors to a deactivation capacitor. The resonant recharge occurs faster than conventional techniques without the need for dissipative current limiting control elements. Through the employment of a resonant approach, the natural impedance of the resonant circuit limits the current without high resistive losses of a limiting resistor or other current limiting regulator. This may increase the efficiency of the recharge circuit and may charge the deactivation capacitor to a voltage that is higher than the voltage of the power source.
