Aspects of the present disclosure includes a method of manufacturing a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, including connecting a first wire and a second wire across a chip, maintaining the spaced apart distance between the first wire and the second wire adjacent to each side of the chip to define a spaced apart segment of the first wire and the second wire that forms part of an inductive loop, connecting the first wire and the second wire at each side of the chip distal from and adjacent to the spaced apart segment of the first wire and the second wire to close the inductive loop, define connected wire segments, and to form an RFID assembly, and moving the RFID assembly through a casing material at or above a glass transition temperature of the casing material to encase the RFID assembly.

RFID tag and method of making same

An integrated electronic article surveillance (EAS) and people counting system including an EAS system, a people counting system, and an alarm management unit. The alarm management unit accepts the EAS data signal from the EAS system and a people count signal from the people counting system for facilitating correlation of EAS and people count data. A method of monitoring a passageway and an alarm management unit associated with an integrated system are also provided. There is also provided a people counting system for determining a direction of travel of people including first and second people detection devices and a controller. The controller provides an output representative of a direction of travel in response to the outputs of the first and second people detection devices.
