Methods and apparatus for facilitating security and tamper control
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a wire having a proximal end and a distal end; and
a body being fixedly coupled to the proximal of the wire and having at least two apertures, each aperture for receiving and locking the distal end of the wire at different times such that when the wire is locked in one of the apertures it cannot be removed without destroying the apparatus, wherein the distal end of the wire is operable to pass through one or more apertures of an object and lock in each of the apertures at different times such that the body retains the wire in engagement with the one or more apertures of the object and maintains the apparatus locked to the object.

7. An apparatus, comprising:
-
two or more heads coupled to one another in series;
a wire having a first end coupled to a last of the heads and a second end;
a body being fixedly coupled to the second end of the wire and having two or more cavities for receiving and locking respective ones of the heads, wherein the heads and the wire are operable to pass through one or more apertures of an object, the first head is operable to lock in a first of the cavities such that the body retains the wire in engagement with the aperture and maintains the apparatus locked to the object. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a shaft having a first end coupled to a head and a second end coupled to a stop member;
a wire having a first end coupled to the shaft and a second end; and
a body being fixedly coupled to the second end of the wire and having a cavity for receiving and locking the head such that when the head is locked in the cavity it cannot be removed without destroying the apparatus, wherein the head and the shaft are operable to pass through one or more apertures of an object and the head is operable to lock in the cavity such that the body and the stop member retain the shaft in engagement with the aperture and maintain the apparatus locked to the object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
