  • Patent number: 6034604
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for incorporation into an electronic article surveillance (EAS) detection system, which essentially eliminates the unintended deactivation of deactivatable target labels. The disclosed method, when properly implemented, offers no degradation to the detection range or responsiveness of the EAS system to deactivatable or non-deactivatable targets. Although primarily intended for pulsed resonant frequency RF EAS systems, the disclosed method of eliminating unintended deactivation is fully applicable to any field-generating RF EAS detection system.
