Abstract: A system is provided for docking two vehicles. In one exemplary embodiment, the system includes a first and a second vehicle. The first vehicle has a port thereon. The port has a first magnetic mechanism coupled thereto, and the first magnetic mechanism is configured to provide a first magnetic polarity. The second vehicle is in communication with the first vehicle and has an interface thereon. The interface has a second magnetic mechanism coupled thereto and is configured to selectively provide a first and a second magnetic polarity. The first and second magnetic mechanisms are magnetically attracted to one another when the second magnetic polarity is selected and repel one another when the first magnetic polarity is selected.

Abstract: A vehicle control system is provided that includes a slat having an axis, a plurality of microwheels disposed on the slat, each microwheel having a first stator wafer, a second stator wafer, and a rotor wafer disposed therebetween, the first and second stator wafers configured to spin the rotor wafer, and an actuator coupled to the slat and configured to at least partially rotate the slat about the axis.

Abstract: An spacecraft control system is provided that includes a tube and a plurality of microwheels. The plurality of microwheels is disposed within the tube. Each microwheel has a first stator wafer, a second stator wafer, and a rotor wafer disposed therebetween. The first and second stator wafers are configured to spin the rotor wafer.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for matching senders of items with travelers willing to be couriers. Senders register items they wish to send. Couriers register itinerary details. A database process matches items awaiting delivery with couriers wishing to deliver. Other embodiments are also described, such as methods and systems for matching users for in-flight assistance, sharing of space in shipping containers, and mail-order forwarding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reaction wheel assembly and fiber optic gyro device. The device includes a reaction wheel assembly having a reaction wheel assembly housing, a fiber optic gyro coil integrated with the reaction wheel assembly housing, and a fiber optic gyro electronics integrated with the reaction wheel assembly housing. The fiber optic gyro coil may be wound around the reaction wheel assembly housing. The gyro coil may also be located within the reaction wheel assembly housing.
