The present invention relates to an apparatus for altering the course of a moving article and a method thereof comprising of a launching aircraft or surface craft to deploy said apparatus towards a moving article. The sleeve joins a wire formed of stainless steel to a fiber formed of Vectran braid through the opening. Alternatively, or in addition, a BAC bit is transmitted by an AP to control access to the AP by WTRUs disposed in a service sector in which the BAC is transmitted. if a screw strikes a wood surface. The resonant frequency of the structure is tuned by changing the size of the split ring resonator excitation patterns. There is also provided a method of fastening at least two workpieces using such a blind rivet, including providing the blind side of the workpieces with a countersunk region to accommodate the conically deformed tail end of the body after setting, substantially flush therewith.
