A system for communication between two communication platforms, including a near-earth returning platform and a remote platform. When the device ID of the general-purpose computer is altered, a recovery program for recovering an original device ID is downloaded from a recovery program generation server, thereby the device ID is recovered. Because the accesses to separate cache lines are concatenated within the vector rename register without the need for an accumulator, an off-alignment load instruction is completely pipeline-able and flushable with no cleanup consequences. The tine and second end of the lever move in unison in response to an input force until the input force exceeds the predetermined force such that while the tine and cable continue to move in unison the deflection of the tine proportionally reduces the movement of the first end of the lever and as a result an actuation force applied to effect a brake application is correspondingly reduced. In yet a further embodiment, an abuse-detector or accelerometer is provided for determining when the device is exposed to deceleration above a predetermined limit, and optionally for automatically shutting down applications programs and for providing a black-box-record of a short time frame before the device was exposed to an unexpected shock.
