Abstract: A detection label for an anti-shoplifting system, comprises a housing (2) accommodating an electrical circuit (21) detectable by an electromagnetic interrogation field, a needle (1) for securing the detection label to an article to be safeguarded, and a locking device (4, 8, 9) for locking the needle. The housing includes a fixed clip (3) which together with the rest of the housing encloses a slot-like free space, a cavity (7) for receiving the tip of the needle (1) which is placed within the housing, an operating push button device (4, 6) for moving the needle towards the clip, and a guide bore (20) in a fabric clamp (6) for guiding the needle during its movement toward the clip.

Abstract: A fault inspection system for the rotary machine is disclosed in which the rotational speed or a physical quantity related thereto of the rotary machine drive with changing rotational speeds is detected as a first detection signal, and the sound pressure or mechanical vibration from the rotary machine as a second signal. A reference line representing the relationship between the values of the first and second detection signals is determined on the basis of the same values. A fault of the rotary machine is detected on the basis of a third detection signal associated with an area corresponding to the region where the first or second detection signal exceeds the reference line.

Abstract: A monitor control apparatus for preventing crimes commited within or in the vicinity of a building in which movements of individuals are detected to determine the behavior thereof. Upon detection of suspicious behavior, predetermined functions are executed to alert appropriate authorities, and alarms are issued. Various time intervals, such as waiting periods during which a individual remains within a designated are and the periods during which the individual moves with a certain speed are determined on the basis of tracking movements so that actions considered to be of a suspicious nature are detected and appropriate responses are executed in a timely manner.
