The invention relates to a system and method for tracking items of interest using one or more signal tags, configured to receive information and transmit information using a longwave frequency in the magnetic field. Additional components include one or more data entry devices; one or more tag readers; and one or more database components, configured to transmit information to and receive information from the one or more data entry devices and the one or more tag readers.

System and method for tracking items by means of longwave, magnetic signal tagging

Grounding wire clamp

A wire clamping and retaining device comprises first and second integrally interconnected leg members which are separated by a predetermined separation distance while in a normal position. A biasing force is established, preferably by the inherent properties of a rigid material capable of resilient deformation, so as to bias the leg members into the normal position. A cavity is defined in the device and intermediate the cavity and the terminal ends thereof, an inclined surface is provided so that when the device is laterally moved relative to a wire, outward displacement of the leg members will be effected so as to gain access to the cavity. Once the wire is accepted in the cavity, the biasing force will once again return the leg members to their normal position and thus frictionally engaged the wire contained in the cavity to prevent axial slippage relative thereto. Thereafter, a nail or other suitable means is utilized to secure the device to a substrate.
