Systems and methods for operating a security tag. The methods involve: establishing an electrical connection between the security tag and an external Power Removal Station ('PRS'); performing operations by the security tag to authenticate a detach command sent from the external PRS; allowing power to be supplied from the external PRS to an electro-mechanical component of the security tag when the detach command is authenticated; and actuating the electro-mechanical component so that a pin of the security tag transitions from an engaged position to an unengaged position without any human assistance or mechanical assistance by a device external to the security tag.

Adhesive-backed security label

Systems and methods for operating a security tag (). The methods comprise: wirelessly receiving at the security tag a signal sent from a remote device (); and preventing alarm issuance when first and second Magnetic Attracting ('MA') halves () of the security tag are pulled apart by deactivating alarm circuitry () internal to the security tag in response to the security tag's reception of the signal.

Alarming smart magnetic tag

Systems () and methods () for making a marker. The methods comprise: obtaining a resonator material which has been annealed under a tensile force selected to provide a maximum resonant amplitude at a bias field; providing by a bias material of the marker an operating bias field with a value less than a value of the bias field; forming a first housing portion from a flexible material so as to have a planar shape; and forming a second housing portion from the flexible material so as to comprise a cavity in which the resonator and bias materials can be housed when the second housing portion is coupled to the first housing portion. The cavity is defined by two opposing short sidewalls, two opposing elongate sidewalls (OESW) and a bottom sidewall. Each of OESW is stiffened by forming a plurality of first stiffener edge features along an exterior surface thereof.

Enhanced signal amplitude in acoustic-magnetomechanical EAS marker

Systems () and methods () for making a marker housing. The methods comprise: forming a first housing portion from a flexible material so as to have a planar shape; and forming a second housing portion () from the flexible material so as to comprise a cavity () in which resonator and bias elements () of the marker can be housed when the second housing portion is coupled to the first housing portion. The cavity is defined by two opposing short sidewalls (), two opposing elongate sidewalls () and a bottom sidewall (). The two opposing elongate sidewalls are stiffened such that crushing and bending thereof is made difficult. The stiffening is achieved by forming a plurality of first stiffener edge features () along an exterior surface of each of the two opposing elongate sidewalls which partially define the cavity of the second housing portion.
