Abstract: A stop and control box houses the standard phone pager (a COTS APPLICATION--meaning commercial off the shelf) as a stimulating and communication device in either a secured and/or concealed mechanical lockup or in any protected area that employs any means to limit access. This protected area would also house control circuitry and could house monitoring circuitry to interface with and record the host machine's functions and finally record the operator and occupant's activities. The stop and control box accomplishes its remote capabilities in a number of ways from actually being wired directly to the pagers circuitry to merely sensing or reading the pager functions and numerical messages.

Abstract: When a satellite is orbiting the earth in an elliptic orbit, it has a certain inclination with respect to the earth's equator. The usual way to change the inclination is perform a maneuver by firing the rocket engines at the periapsis of the ellipse. This then forces the satellite into the desired inclination. There is a substantially more fuel efficient way to change the inclination. This is done by an indirect route by first doing a maneuver to bring the satellite to the moon on a BCT (Ballistic Capture Transfer). At the moon, the satellite is in the so called fuzzy boundary or weak stability boundary. A negligibly small maneuver can then bring it back to the earth on a reverse BCT to the desired earth inclination. Another maneuver puts it into the new ellipse at the earth. In the case of satellites launched from Vandenberg AFB into LEO in a circular orbit of an altitude of 700 km with an inclination of 34.degree., approximately 6 km/s is required to change the inclination to 90.degree..
