A container seal includes a locking bolt, which has on one end portion or central portion thereof a push-in/latch compartment which is open in the transverse direction relative to the lock axis and is formed or provided with an undercut acting in the direction of the latch compartment opening; a clip or tab, wherein the clip or tab is arranged on the other end portion of the locking bolt; and a bolt or bar which is arranged on the free end/end portion of the clip or tab and has on the free end/end portion thereof a latch device which is coupled to the bolt via a predetermined breaking point.

An anti-tamper device for a utility meter, in particular for an enclosure thereof, providing a guideway for a sealing element, wherein in a sealed state of the utility meter, at least a section of the sealing element extends along the guideway. Furthermore, an enclosure for a utility meter comprising a socket configured for receiving an anti-tamper device, as well as a utility meter comprising an anti-tamper device, and/or an enclosure. The guideway is provided with a predetermined breaking zone configured to break when the sealing element exerts a predefined breaking force onto the anti-tamper device.

A clasp is configured to permanently interlock around a flexible strip of material and includes first and second interlocking members. At least one interlocking member includes a Bluetooth communication device. Each interlocking member can include a plurality of hooks and a corresponding plurality of recesses, where the recesses of one interlocking member receive the hooks of the other interlocking member to secure a band within the clasp between the interlocking members. The recesses can be completely internal to the clasp to prevent external tampering. Each of the interlocking members can include various protrusions and ribs that compress and secure the band within the clasp, so as to prevent movement of the band between the interlocking members when interlocked.

Comprising a long and flexible body (1), which defines two ends (2,3), having fixing means of the female type (4) and the male type (5), on both ends, characterized in that the long and flexible body (1) is lengthwise twisted on itself and is made of such a material as cellulose (7) or a by-product thereof, and/or the fixing means (4,5) are made of a biodegradable plastic material.

The present disclosure provides a new and innovative medical wristband that can be thermally printed with patient identification features and that also includes location-tracking features. The provided medical wristband includes a wristband component and a separate closure component. The wristband component may be thermally printed using conventional thermal printers because it is not physically attached to the location tracker that would otherwise make the medical wristband too thick for conventional thermal printers. The wristband component may be printed with patient identification information and/or a scannable code accessing patient identification information. The closure component has a location tracker coupled to it, such as a Bluetooth beacon. In one example, the location tracker is welded to the closure component. Accordingly, a patient may wear a single thermally printed wristband that provides medical professionals with both patient identification features and location tracking features.

A locking device includes a lock body, a hasp and a seal. The lock body includes a hasp locking latch pivotally disposed therein and a seal locking latch pivotally disposed therein. The hasp is disposed at the lock body and movable between an open state, where a free end of the hasp is external the lock body, and a closed state, where the free end of the hasp is within the lock body. The seal, when inserted into the lock body when the hasp is in its closed state, engages the hasp locking latch to pivot the hasp locking latch to engage and lock the hasp in its closed state, and the seal, when inserted into the lock body, engages the seal locking latch to lock the seal within the lock body. The seal includes a frangible portion that is configured to break the seal into first and second portions.

A sealing apparatus for tamper-evidently closing an opening in a sealable product comprising a locking housing mountable adjacent the opening and including an entrance passage leading to a stall; a fastener for closing the opening, the fastener having a fastener head adapted to pass through the entrance passage into the stall and an actuator tab attached to and movable about the fastener head to, with the fastener head received into the stall, engage with and close the entrance passage behind the fastener head, and a seal for tamper-evidently securing the actuator tab in position in the entrance passage.

Methods, apparatuses and systems for detecting tampering are disclosed. The methods, apparatuses and systems for detecting tampering can involve positioning at least a portion of one or more ingress/egress line having a first end and a second end in a clamping box configured to provide detection of tampering; and detecting tampering by observing the clamping box.
