An apparatus for cutting a bolt includes a first member and a second member that are adapted to pivot about an axis. An L-shaped member is pivotally attached to an end of the second member. A sliding member is attached to the L-shaped member that bears on an exterior of the first member when the L-shaped member is fully pivoted toward the first member. A threaded rod includes a first end that is attached to the sliding member. The threaded rod engages with a threaded opening provided in the L-shaped member. A knob that is attached to the threaded rod is tightened which urges the sliding member and the first member toward the second member and severs the bolt that is disposed in a pair of openings proximate the axis.

An improved tamper indicating seal is disclosed, characterized by the generation of a unique signature pattern which, if altered, is indicative of tampering. The seal includes a layer of transparent material which is applied to at least a portion of a secure object or container. A plurality of particles of refective material are randomly arranged within the layer in a unique orientation. When the seal is exposed to light, the particles reflect a portion of the light to produce a unique reflective pattern which corresponds with the orientation of the particles. Alteration of the particle orientation as a result of tampering alters the reflective pattern. Thus when the reflected pattern of a seal does not correspond with its original signature pattern, tampering is indicated.

The time of arrival of a constant speed moving object at a given location is calculated from data representing the time of arrival of the object at two preceeding locations and the relative physical distances between the three locations. An up-down counter counts up at a fixed frequency f.sub.1 during the time interval of the object's transversal of the distance between the first two locations and counts down at a pre-selected frequency f.sub.2 thereafter. The preselected frequency f.sub.2 is a function of the distances between locations and the fixed frequency f.sub.1. When the counter counts down to zero it produces an output pulse that occurs at the time the object reaches the given location. Operation of the time delay computer is independent of object speed.
