It had some strings and pulleys and some springs.

So we thought, OK, this must be a spring the saddle could very well be a spring.

It has six legs there are the tuned, springy legs.

And they can be modeled by a spring mass system that we call the spring mass system because we're biomechanists. It's actually a pogo stick.

So, the saddles that saddle shaped spring has actually been well known to biologists for a long time, not as a spring but as a visual signal.

Now, what good are springy legs then? What can they do?

We want to fold up the legs and shoot it up for long range motion.

And all of these are the same principles that apply to the saddle shaped spring in stomatopods.

There needs to be some kind of spring loaded mechanism in order to generate the amount of force that we observe, and the speed that we observe, and the output of the system.

And then we did a series of calculations, and what we were able to show is that these mantis shrimp have to have a spring.

So sort of an interesting strange fact to find a visual structure right in the middle of their spring.

And again, that brings us back to the importance of that spring in storing up and releasing so much energy in this system.

Same principle it only has six moving parts, six motors, but it has springy, tuned legs. It moves in the gait of the insect.

And this is quite interesting, to find evolutionary origins of visual signals on what's really, in all species, their spring.

So, we've had very solid evidence showing that that saddle shaped structure actually compresses and extends, and does, in fact, function as a spring.

We couldn't believe that it could do this. It said to us that if you could build a robot with very simple, springy legs, you could make it as maneuverable as any that's ever been built.

What we discovered is whether you look at the leg of a human like Richard, or a cockroach, or a crab, or a kangaroo, the relative leg stiffness of that spring is the same for everything we've seen so far.

I must take my oboe for repair.

Now, I said all these animals are sort of working like pogo sticks they're bouncing along as they move. And you can see that in this ghost crab, from the beaches of Panama and North Carolina.

So, very interesting parallels between the biological and the engineering worlds. And interestingly, this turns out the stomatopod saddle turns out to be the first described biological hyperbolic paraboloid spring.

We have to go a little beyond that. Now let me explain why vibrational theory has some sort of interest in it. These molecules, as you saw in the beginning, the building blocks had springs connecting them to each other.

After decades indeed, centuries of employing such tricks, physicists have forgotten that they are modeling phenomena, not necessarily uncovering Divine Truth. For instance, we can easily write down the equations for a ball on a swinging spring, but if we stretch the spring enough and swing the ball hard enough, we can t solve those equations.

And if I take a reed if I rub this, something very amazing happens.

Finally, I have a thing for the keys on a flute or a clarinet.

It's what makes a little girl play the clarinet at home, while her mother does the housework.

The animals, when you look at them running, appear to be self stabilizing like this, using basically springy legs. That is, the legs can do computations on their own the control algorithms, in a sense, are embedded in the form of the animal itself.

They range from this fluffy toy that is about hugging you because autistic children like to be hugged tight, so it has a spring inside all the way to this doll with a mirror so the child can see him or herself in the mirror and regain a sense of self.

And these animals may very well be making use of not only the force and the energy stored with that specialized spring, but the extremes of the fluid dynamics. And they might actually be making use of fluid dynamics as a second force for breaking the snail.

We had wooden flutists, we had oboists, we had opera singers, we had guitar players, and we had rap singers.

So again, the oboe player is completely autonomous and therefore happy and proud of his work, and creative and all of that.

This list, as reflected in both matrices, includes the following munitions Cannon shells ( 14.5 mm), pyrotechnics and propellants, air launched submunitions (single fuze, multi fuze), ground launched submunitions (single fuze, multi fuze), hand and projected rifle grenades, mortar rounds, artillery projectiles and aircraft unitary bombs.

OGR munitions are delivered by artillery shells.

BELOUGA munitions France has withdrawn the BLG 66 BELOUGA grenade launching bomb from service.

Now, I don't play the flute or the clarinet, so I decided to combine these keys with an instrument I do play the television remote control.

And so the kids are raised in a certain way, jumping through achievement hoops of the things we can measure SAT prep, oboe, soccer practice.

The UK air delivered cluster bomb, the RBL755, contains 147 bomblets ejected from the casing by hot gasbags. These bomblets produce a footprint of roughly 100x200m.

And then I'm in the control room here, playing back and forth.

APACHE missiles carrying KRISS runway penetrating bombs.

It would be going too far to liken these munitions to genuine cluster munitions, as one shell carries only two BONUS munitions at a time.

Different manufacturers of sub munitions around the world have achieved different levels of dud rates with their sub munitions.

Iraq unearthed and UNMOVIC verified remnants which included eight intact bombs and various bomb components such as base plates, tails and nose cones that, in total, accounted for 104 bombs.

7. Further recognizes that, in the same time period, the Russian Federation has reduced the number of its START accountable deployed strategic warheads to less than 5,000, and has also eliminated 1,250 launchers for intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine launched ballistic missiles, 43 ballistic missile submarines and 65 heavy bombers

These radars were part of the ballistic missile early warning system of the US, used for monitoring Soviet missiles.
