Fanon's patients, in the middle of another revolution against the French, had recurring nightmares of their wives and daughters and sisters spinning out of the orbit of their control, and it was nightmares like those that the Islamists tapped in France.
But Mr. Berger, he added, is "a missing element, and the movie, unequally balanced, goes off into a wobbly, out-of-control orbit as a result".
The problem of orbit control for spacecraft on elliptical orbits is analysed and an approach to the design of optimal constant gain controllers for the periodic dynamics of relative motion is proposed.
Computer bugs bring down military e-mail systems; oil refineries and pipelines explode; air-traffic-control systems collapse; freight and metro trains derail; financial data are scrambled; the electrical grid goes down in the eastern United States; orbiting satellites spin out of control.
To minimize the complexity of the on-board stationkeeping logic and to improve reliability, a simple orbit controller has been designed, which generates a series of control signal making the orbit roughly follow the predetermined reference range data.
Shamelessly recycling riffs ripped from Outland to Alien 3 via The Rock (the credits ironically cite "an original idea by Luc Besson" – ha!), this sends Guy Pearce into orbit to regain control of an extraterrestrial prison on which the president's daughter has become inconveniently incarcerated.
At the same time, it can stabilize the unstable fixed points involved in the periodic orbit of dynamical system, and control the oscillation and bifurcation of the system [20].
Orbit and control attitude of satellites is carried out through the use of small engines based on catalytic decomposition of liquid hydrazine.
We used a navigation system for computer-assisted preoperative planning based on cone beam tomography with virtual reconstruction to obtain symmetry of the orbit and intraoperative control of virtual contours.
A tenfold surge in the numbers within its orbit would push the agency out of control, says James Milner, a professor at Ottawa's Carleton University.
Already, a formidable infrastructure has been built in Iowa by Ready For Hillary, which operates outside of her orbit or control.
