Abstract: A security device may include a body portion and a gate assembly. The body portion is disposed between two substantially parallel, longitudinally extending support members of a peg hook. The gate assembly is operably coupled to the body portion to rotate about an axis of rotation that is substantially perpendicular to a direction of extension of the support members. The gate assembly includes a first gate portion and a second gate portion. The gate assembly has a rest state in which the first gate portion extends substantially in a plane in which the support members lie and the second gate portion extends out of the plane such that movement of a product supported by the peg hook along the support members toward a distal end of the peg hook causes the product to rotate the gate assembly to an extraction position in which the second gate portion is substantially in the plane and the first gate portion is rotated out of the plane.

Abstract: A security device is provided that includes a leash configured to be operably coupled to a product. The security device may also include a first tag. The first tag may include an attachment sensor configured to sense an operable coupling of the first tag to a surface. The first tag may also include a ratchet assembly supported within a housing of the first tag such that the ratchet assembly is rotatable in a tightening direction to tighten the leash and a loosening direction to loosen the leash. The tag may also include a locking assembly moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position, where in the locked position the locking assembly is configured to prevent the ratchet assembly from being rotated in the loosening direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to security devices used to protect merchandise or other objects, including security devices having one or more adjustable cables used to wrap around objects of various shapes and sizes, such that the security devices are secured to the objects. The present invention also relates to a removable module that can enable a disposable, one-alarm passive security device to provide three-alarm functionality.

Abstract: Anti-theft device and a method of operating and using the device are provided. The security device may include a housing and a disposable tamper strip which is configured to attach to a merchandise item or other article. The tamper strip may include a conductor such that when the conductor is severed, an alarm is sounded. The tamper strip may include tear points which encourage the conductor to be torn, such as when a potential thief attempts to remove the device from the merchandise item or other article.

Abstract: An auto-calibration system for diagnostic test strips is described for presenting data individually carried on each test strip readable by a diagnostic meter. The test strip meter may provide a predetermined varying resistance on one strip or a plurality of varying resistances from strip lot to strip lot.

Abstract: An auto-calibration system for diagnostic test strips is described for presenting data individually carried on each test strip readable by a diagnostic meter. The carried data may include an embedded code relating to data particular to that individual strip. The data is presented so at to be read by a meter associated with the diagnostic test strip in order to avoid manually inputting the information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a security container formed to receive a cassette which visually indicates to a user what type or style of good is contained therein. The cassette may be of a general solid block type in one color or having one visual characteristic, or the cassette may have multiple inserts or slides which may be moved within the cassette to change the outwardly facing color or visible characteristic.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a security assembly configured to properly secure articles in a retail environment. In some embodiments, the security assembly is configured to secure cylindrical objects, such as baby formula or coffee cans. Additionally, in some embodiments, the security assembly may be adjustable such that differently sized objects may be secured. In an example embodiment, a security device for securing an object with an object perimeter edge is provided. The security device comprises a housing defining an edge lock configured for positioning proximate the object perimeter edge and a locating gap. The security device also comprises at least one cable extending from the security device through the locating gap. The locating gap is configured to secure the at least one cable from substantial lateral movement in at least one direction.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing wardrobing is presented. An anti-wardrobing device for attachment to a merchandise item includes a ribbon, a branding plate and a lock. The ribbon has a first end and a second end adapted to be placed through the merchandise item. The branding plate is adapted to display information about the merchandise item, branding of merchandise item. The lock is located at one end of the branding plate. The lock is adapted to be locked to the ribbon so that the ribbon is looped through the merchandise item and then locked so that the ribbon cannot be removed from the merchandise item without cutting the ribbon.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing wardrobing is presented. A method loops the ribbon through a merchandise item. A branding tag is locked onto the ribbon so that the ribbon cannot be removed from the merchandise item without cutting the ribbon or breaking the branding tag. The branding tag contains branding information related to the merchandise item. When the item is returned, a determination is made if the ribbon and/or the branding tag have been tampered with. The method does not provide a refund when tampering has occurred.

Abstract: A system for diagnostic testing may include a meter for performing a test on a sample applied to a test media and a selectively closable container configured to house test media compatible with the meter. The system may also provide mechanisms for removing a meter from a test container and reattaching it to a new one using one of several coding methods that recalibrate the meter for the new container of test strips. Alternatively, the system may include an auto-calibration system where data is provided individually on each individual test medium in a form readable by the test meter. The carried data may include an embedded code relating to data particular to that individual strip. The data is presented so as to be read by a meter associated with the diagnostic test strip in order to avoid manually inputting the information. In addition, the system may further provide mechanisms to reconfigure the meter to perform a new function when it has been determined that a triggering event has occurred.

Abstract: The invention relates to a security container formed to receive a cassette which visually indicates to a user what type or style of good is contained therein. The cassette may be of a general solid block type in one color or having one visual characteristic, or the cassette may have multiple inserts or slides which may be moved within the cassette to change the outwardly facing color or visible characteristic. The invention furthermore relates to a merchandising system and method for paring the appropriate security device with the correct high-theft piece of merchandise and for return of a previously used security device to the correct department of a retail establishment. In some configurations, a scan device can be used to scan a product and then display a color label associated with a security device to be used with that product.

Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-theft device primarily for securing articles of goods. In the preferred embodiment, a main housing of the device is secured to an article by way of a cable having two ends, whereby each end is inserted into the housing to form a loop around the article. Each end of the cable is secured to the housing by internally disposed locking nuts which allow the insertion of the end into the main housing, but prevent its removal. The device does not include a key or unlocking mechanism. A user must unscrew or cut the security device off the article once it is applied.
