The present invention is embodied in a method an apparatus for reducing the number of leased E1 lines needed to backhaul communication traffic in a satellite communication situation. The first switch has a body diode that passes current from the first rail node to the central node. The electron beam generators arranged in the irradiation unit have connections for at least one pump system to generate an operating vacuum. The control system utilizes the interface to receive and store the name of the person identified in the container and the one or more emergency contact numbers, and the control system utilizes the communications device to contact the one or more emergency contact numbers.
