A disposable security and tamper evident label (1102) for preventing theft of hard goods including a flexible adhesive transparent layer (1702), at least one EAS or RFID label (800) attached to the flexible adhesive transparent layer and at least one non-EAS tamper evident label (900) attached to the flexible adhesive transparent layer. When a shoplifter tries to remove the disposable label using known techniques, the non-EAS tamper evident label (900) will not be able to be removed leaving a message that the product is stolen, thereby deterring resale of the product. An alternative embodiment includes a flexible adhesive transparent layer (1702) and at least one non-EAS tamper evident label (900) attached to the flexible adhesive transparent layer.
G06K 19/06 - Record carriers for use with machines and with at least a part designed to carry digital markings characterised by the kind of the digital marking, e.g. shape, nature, code
G06K 19/073 - Special arrangements for circuits, e.g. for protecting identification code in memory
G06K 19/077 - Constructional details, e.g. mounting of circuits in the carrier

There is disclosed a system and method for facilitating the resale of goods and providing digital identification for physical goods to facilitate the retail sale of the goods and the online resale of the goods.
There is disclosed an improved disposable keeper that has no locking or unlocking mechanism and which is of a reduced size. The keeper may comprise a rigid or flexible casing that substantially corresponds to the shape of a product and adapted to cover at least one portion of one side of the product but not fully enclosing the product; a security element or a non-EAS printed label attached to the casing and adapted to be inaccessible to a consumer when the keeper is attached to the product; and a flexible adhesive support attached to the casing and adapted to wrap around the product or a double sided adhesive support to attach the Keeper to a product. Additionally, keepers are disclosed which attach by a two-sided adhesive to a product and which if removed will damage the product packaging and detrimentally effect the resale of the product.
There is disclosed a high Gauss magnetic lock comprising at least one high grade steel ball-bearing but typically 3 or 4 ball bearings, one generally non-ferrous ball basket that will carry and hold in a specific position the ball-bearing(s), at least one non-ferrous spring, one ferrous calibrating high precision element, and one generally non-ferrous and conical ball cage where the ball basket will evolve up and down pushed by the spring and pulled down by a magnetic field.
There is disclosed an improved disposable electronic article surveillance keeper ("Keeper") that has no locking or unlocking mechanism and which is of a reduced size. The Keeper may comprise a rigid casing that substantially corresponds to the shape of a product and adapted to cover at least one side of the product but not fully enclosing the product; a security element attached to the casing and adapted to be inaccessible to a consumer when the keeper is attached to the product; and a flexible adhesive support attached to the casing and adapted to wrap around the product.
The invention provides an RFID circuit for use with new or pre-existing antitheft tags. An RFID pin replaces the current pin on antitheft tags that retailers already own. The RFID circuit is incorporated into or secured to, the pin structure. By replacing the current pin used on antitheft tags with a low cost RFID pin, existing antitheft tags can be inexpensively upgraded to antitheft tags that are also capable of use as inventory management and/or enhanced theft control devices.

An audible anti-theft tag that has a multiple ways to activate an audible alarm under predetermined conditions. When the pin assembly is forcibly detached from an EAS tag, a high decibel alarm is automatically activated. The audible alarm in the anti-theft tag uses a thyristor control circuit which does not use power while the anti-theft tag alarm is inactive. Once activated, the alarm cannot be turned off. An optional multi-wire lanyard is available which is not susceptible to defeat by a shunt, and also activates the audible alarm when severed.
