Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing solar power collection. A position of the sun is identified relative to an aerospace vehicle while the aerospace vehicle is moving along a flight path. A level of power generation is identified by a solar power generation system while the aerospace vehicle moves along the flight path using a threat management module and equivalent radar signature data. The threat management module uses the equivalent radar signature data to identify the level of power generation by the aerospace vehicle from different positions of the sun relative to the aerospace vehicle, and the equivalent radar signature data is based on solar power generation signature data identifying the level of power generation for the different positions of the sun relative to the aerospace vehicle. A change in the flight path that results in a desired level of power generation is identified by the solar power generation system.

Abstract: System and method for configuring wireless communication devices. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a system for customizing. The system includes a user interface for displaying information. The system includes a user input for receiving one or more user input. Additionally, the system includes a memory that has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes at least one set of program instructions, and the second portion includes at least one set of contents. The system further includes a first interface that includes a connector. The connector is adaptable to a plurality of connector configurations, which includes a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration is capable of disengageably coupling to a first communication device, and the second configuration is capable of disengageably coupling to a second communication device. First communication device and the second communication device are characterized by different makes.

Abstract: A cellular phone system in which a cellular phone user (CPU) has a cellular phone with a predetermined amount of available airtime. The CPU prepays for a particular number of airtime units. When a cell site receives a call from the CPU, the cell site communicates with a mobile telecommunications switching office (MTSO), which recognizes a unique serial number from the cellular phone. The MTSO directs the call to a prepaid airtime transaction tracking interface (PATTI). The PATTI then checks whether the CPU's account has any available airtime units and may indicate the number of units to the CPU. If none, the PATTI does not answer the call; otherwise, the PATTI connects the call and deducts airtime units until the call is disconnected.
