The disclosure is related to selecting an access point by a wireless terminal. The beam is changed from its erected condition to its collapsed condition by relaxing the tensioning member or cable. The system includes a detector for detecting at least one vital signature in the input signal and a converter for creating an output signal by modifying the input signal depending on the detected vital signature. The propagation delay through the voting structuresettable memory element is the only propagation delay of the triple redundant latch. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent.
