Feasibility of an EHF (40/50 GHz) mobile satellite system using highly inclined orbits

The pan-European L-band terrestrial cellular system (GSM) is expected to provide service to more than 10 million users by the year 2000. Discussed here is the feasibility of a new satellite system at EHF (40/50 GHz) to complement, at the end of the decade, the GSM system or its decendants in order to provide additional services at 64 kbits/s, or so. The main system aspects, channel characteristics, technology issues, and both on-board and earth terminal architectures are highlighted. Based on the performed analyses, a proposal was addressed to the Italian Space Agency (ASI), aimed at the implementation of a national plan

Body memory and hypochondria: an ever present archaic experience?

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser le caractère unique de la dimension de la mémoire dans l’hypocondrie. La détresse corporelle caractéristique est l’un des modes les plus archaïques du vécu de l’expérience de la mort, qui se reflète dans la matérialité et l’immédiateté du corps. Dans l’ hypocondrie, le caractère de persécution qui se concentre sur le corps du sujet implique une « mise à jour » dans le sens d’un retour démoniaque du même, un vécu traumatique primaire. Le danger imminent de mort, présenté par la maladie grave dont ces sujets sont convaincus qu’ils ont été touchés exprime la percepcion continué qu’ils ont de ses états de corps. Ceci résulte de la permanence dans la vie psychique d’un temps présentifié, temps de l’archaïque, plus proche du champs de la perception. Ainsi, le moi met à jour son mode d’existance le plus primordial et fondamental, tout en se protégeant, paradoxalement, des effets traumatisants.The aim of this article is to analyze the uniqueness of the dimension of memory in hypochondria. Its characteristic body distress is one of the most archaic modes of death experience, projecting itself into the concrete and into the immediate of the body. In hypochondria, the persecutory character that affects the subject’s body implies an “updating” in the sense of a devilish return of the same, a primary traumatic experience. The imminent danger of death, presented by the serious illness these subjects are convinced to have been affected by, expresses the continuing perception they have of body states. This comes from how long the time made present, an archaic time, stayed in the psychic life, closer to the level of perception. Thus, the ego updates its most basic and primordial mode of existing, paradoxically protecting itself from the effects of trauma.El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la singularidad de la dimensión de la memoria en la hipocondría. La angustia corporal que es su característica es uno de los modos más arcaicos de la experiencia demuerte, que se proyecta en la concretud y en el inmediato del cuerpo. En la hipocondría, el carácter persecutorio que incide en el cuerpo del sujeto implica una “actualización”, en el sentido de un retorno demoníaco de lo mismo, un vivido traumático primario. El riesgo inminente de muerte, presentado por la enfermedad grave que estos sujetos están convencidos de que les afectan, expresa la continua percepción que tienen de sus estados corporales. Esto resulta la permanencia en la vida psíquica de un tiempo presentificado, tiempo del arcaico, más cerca del registro de la percepción. Así, el ego actualiza su modo de vida más básico y primordial, mientras paradójicamente protege a sí mismo de los efectos del trauma.O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a singularidade da dimensão de memória na hipocondria.
