Abstract

See full text

A marker for use in radio frequency electronic article surveillance systems where the marker contains an inductive-capacitive resonant circuit and is made reversibly deactivatable and reactivatable by the addition of a piece of magnetic material and means, such as a piece of permanently magnetizable material, for biasing the first material to prevent alternating fields induced therein from changing the magnetic state of that material, thereby preventing hysteresis losses from causing a lowering of the Q of the resonant circuit below the point of detection.
