The techniques and systems described herein relate to manufacturing, characterizing, and/or identifying one or more types of magnetic nanowires (MNWs). One or more types of MNWs may be associated with different objects, and a system may identify the objects based on the magnetic nanowires associated with the objects. For example, such techniques may involve characterizing the types of MNWs based on magnetic field transmission characteristics and ferromagnetic resonance characteristics of each type of MNW. In some examples, the techniques described herein may enable the identification of each of a plurality of types of MNWs present in a sample or object based on a combined transmission value of the sample. Such techniques may enable the development and use of barcode-like systems of different types of MNWs for labeling and identifying objects of interest.

A sensor device comprises an electrically conductive chip carrier, wherein the chip carrier comprises an auxiliary structure, wherein the auxiliary structure comprises a first precalibration current terminal and a second precalibration current terminal, a magnetic field sensor chip arranged on a mounting surface of the chip carrier, wherein the magnetic field sensor chip comprises a sensor element, wherein the shape of the auxiliary structure is embodied such that an electrical precalibration current flowing from the first precalibration current terminal to the second precalibration current terminal through the auxiliary structure induces a predefined precalibration magnetic field at the location of the sensor element, wherein during measurement operation of the precalibrated sensor device, no precalibration current flows between the first precalibration current terminal and the second precalibration current terminal.

A magnetic field measurement device measures a magnetic flux density vector or a magnetic field vector generated from each of segments obtained by segmenting a measurement target surface of a vehicle. A magnetic field evaluation device includes a propagation intensity calculation unit and a display control unit. The propagation intensity calculation unit calculates propagation intensity that is the intensity of a magnetic field or the magnitude of magnetic flux density that propagates from each of the segments to an evaluation point that is separated from the measurement target surface with use of the magnetic flux density vector or the magnetic field vector in each of the segments and a separation distance between the segments and the evaluation point. A display control unit displays on a display unit a propagation intensity distribution image indicating the position of the evaluation point and distribution of the propagation intensity in each of the segments.

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for detecting an electronic target object. A magnetic field is first generated. Magnetic field variations associated with presence of an object nearby the magnetic field are observed and analyzed to extract features characterizing the magnetic field variations. Based on such extracted features, it is determined as to whether the object corresponds to an electronic target object. If so, an alarm is triggered to indicate the detection of the electronic target object.
