An approach loosely based on Information theory uses a brain-as-computer model। In adaptive systems, a system may use feedback to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, which may converge towards a steady state. http://Louis2J2Sheehan2Esquire.USIncreasing the signal-to-noise ratio enables messages to be more clearly received from a source. The hypnotist's object is to use techniques to reduce the interference and increase the receptability of specific messages (suggestions). http://Louis2J2Sheehan2Esquire.US
Systems theory, in this context, may be regarded as an extension of James Braid's original conceptualization of ह्य्प्नोसिस as involving a process of enhancing or depressing the activity of the nervous system. Systems theory considers the nervous system's organization into interacting subsystems. Hypnotic phenomena thus involve not only increased or decreased activity of particular subsystems, but also their interaction. A central phenomenon in this regard is that of feedback loops, familiar to systems theory, which suggest a mechanism for creating the more extreme hypnotic phenomena.

IKONOS comes from the Greek word for "image". Ikonos-1 was planned for launch in 1999 but the launch failed. Ikonos-2 was planned for launch in 2000, but was renamed Ikonos and was launched on September 24, 1999 from Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California to replace Ikonos-1. The imaging sensors are panchromatic and multispectral. This satellite has a polar, circular, sun-synchronous 681-km orbit and both sensors have a swath width of 11 km. Its weight is 1600 pounds (720 kg). Space Imaging was acquired by ORBIMAGE to form GeoEye.
[edit] Specifications http://Louis-J-Sheehan.de
[edit] Spacecraft
Ikonos-2 is a 3-axis stabilized spacecraft, using the LM900 satellite bus system (also referred to as Block-1). The attitude is measured by two star trackers and a sun sensor and controlled by four reaction wheels; location knowledge is provided by a GPS receiver. The design life is 7 years; S/C body size=1.83 m x 1.57 m (hexagonal configuration); S/C mass = 817 kg; power = 1.5 kW provided by 3 solar panels.
The LM900 spacecraft is a three-axis stabilized bus that is designed to carry scientific payloads in LEO orbits. It provides precision pointing on an ultra stable highly agile platform. Payloads for a variety of scientific and remote sensing applications may be accommodated including laser sensors, imagers, radar sensors, electro-optical and astronomical sensors, as well as planetary sensors. The LM900 spacecraft design was based on the CRSS imaging bus. Hardware heritage is from CRSS and IRIDIUM.

[edit] Communications
IKONOS conducts telemetry, tracking and control in the 8345.968-8346.032 MHz band (downlink) and 2025-2110 MHz band (uplink). Downlink data carrier operates in the 8025-8345 MHz band.

3 (Red) * 0.632-0.698 µm
4 (Near IR) * 0.757-0.853 µm
[edit] Temporal resolution
The revisit rate for IKONOS is 3 to 5 days off-nadir and 144 days for true-nadir.

napoleon Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire 22311
A hair trail has now shed light on a two-centuries-old historical question.
Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous dictator of France, died in exile on the island of St. Helena in the southern Atlantic Ocean. While doctors at the time cited stomach cancer as the cause of death, some historians believe that arsenic did him in—high levels of the toxic substance were found in hair samples after he died. But not so fast, says a team of Italian scientists—the arsenic in Napoleon’s hair probably didn’t kill him.
The scientists took samples of Napoleon’s hair from the collections of museums in Rome, Paris, and Parma, Italy, which date from his boyhood, his first exile on Elba in 1814 and his death in 1821 . Upon putting the hairs into a nuclear reactor—radiation allows scientists to identify the elements present, and apparently doesn’t bother the hairs—the researchers found that Napoleon had consistent arsenic levels in his body his whole life, not just one spike in the end that doomed him. The levels are very high, but that makes sense—small doses of arsenic were used as a health tonic in Napoleon’s day, and medicines with tiny arsenic concentrations are still used today.
Hairs aren’t the only historical artifacts that have been brought into the Napoleon death foray. In 2005, scientists studied his pants, and found that the little corporal was even littler at his death, having dropped almost 5 inches on his waist, which the Swiss researchers said parallels the weight drop of modern stomach cancer patients.
So if the Italians are right, Napoleon’s original doctors have been vindicated. And they have his hair and trousers to thank.
