摘要:
Methods and apparatus applying RFID technology to identify electronic components, devices, and systems to provide functions such as, for example, security of the assets, inventory tracking of the assets, identification of the assets, and short distance communication between the assets are disclosed. RFID transponders are integrated into electronic components, devices and systems at the component level (i.e., circuit chip, circuit board, etc.), the asset level (i.e., box, computer, etc.), or system level (i.e., network system, computer system, etc.).

摘要:
The present invention is a magnetic sensor used with one or more frequency band pass filters and a logic circuit that produces a ("critical") signal that is used for enabling and disabling an external electronic circuit, e.g. a computer circuit. The magnetic sensor produces a signal when excited by an externally applied alternating current (ac) magnetic field. The external ac magnetic field can comprise one or more frequencies, each of which induces an electrical signal at the respective frequency in the sensor. Depending on the linearity of the sensor, one or more harmonic frequencies of the signal frequencies can also be induced in the sensor. One or more bandpass filters is connected to the magnetic sensor and each of the bandpass filters is tuned to filter the signal to select filtered signals, from the output of the sensor. A logic circuit is activated by one or more of the filtered signals or a combination of one or more of the signal frequencies. When the logic circuit is activated, a critical signal is applied to an electronic circuit to enable or disable the external electronic circuit.

A method and system for preventing theft of an object, includes an electronic article surveillance (EAS) device operatively attached to an object, a security path for detection of the EAS device, a reader operatively coupled to the security path, and a smart card for being read by the reader. The smart card contains an identification profile of an authorized user of the object.
摘要:
A radio frequency identification transponder (RFID tag) includes an RFID antenna and one or more elements of nonlinear magnetic material tuned to resonate at substantially the same frequency as the resonant frequency of the tag antenna. This co-resonance amplifies signals that impinge upon the antenna, yielding both a higher level signal from the antenna to the tag electronics and wider operational bandwidth for the tag. With the addition of the nonlinear magnetic material, the tag may also be employed as a magnetic surveillance tag, with the attendant non-screening capabilities. With a plurality of nonlinear magnetic elements tuned to different resonant frequencies, the tag may provide more "non-screenable" information, that is, two bits, or four binary states, for example, when two such elements are employed.
