Patent number: 6091607Abstract: Briefly stated a tag includes a dielectric substrate having first and second opposite principal surfaces. An electrical circuit having an electrically conductive pattern is formed on at least one of the principal surfaces of the dielectric substrate, the conductive pattern including a gap which establishes an electrical open circuit. An electrically conductive composition including electro-conductive particles is provided for bridging the gap in the conductive pattern to temporarily establish an electrical closed circuit which resonates when exposed to electromagnetic energy at a frequency within a predetermined frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignee: Checkpoint Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas James McKeown, Stanley Tocker

Patent number: 5841350Abstract: A resonant tag circuit useful as an electronic security device includes a layered planar structure having a dielectric substrate, a resonant circuit carried on both sides of the dielectric substrate and a semiconductive material having an ionizable salt dissolved therein. The semiconductor material provides a sermiconductive bridge across an activation or deactivation point in the circuit and connects the conductive circuit on both sides of the activation or deactivation point. The resonant tag circuit of this invention is stabilized against premature operation of the activation or deactivation point from electrostatic discharge.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Checkpoint Systems, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Appalucci, John H. Bowers, Gary T. Mazoki, Thomas J. McKeown, Anthony F. Piccoli, Mark J. Rankin, Stanley Tocker

Patent number: 4282209Abstract: The instant invention relates to a process for preparing novel insecticide-polymer particles. The process consists essentially of dissolving the insecticide, methomyl, and a polymer in a solvent in which both are soluble. The solution is then comingled with a non-solvent for both the polymer and the methomyl under high shear conditions. A particulate product is formed consisting of irregularly shaped particles having methomyl embedded in a polymer matrix. The irregularly shaped particles may be dispersed, e.g. in water, and sprayed readily into an area of insect infestation.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1979Date of Patent: August 4, 1981Assignee: E.
