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.

And he lives in the sand, and he catches things that go by overhead.

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.

(a) Authentication of warheads and components to establish that an item declared to be a nuclear warhead or a component from a nuclear warhead is consistent with those declarations

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.

Half of that is coming from dismantled warheads from Russia, soon to be joined by our dismantled warheads.

(b) Dismantlement of warheads and their components

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.

What if they had patented pop up menus, scrollbars, the desktop with icons that look like folders and sheets of paper?

The destruction of some old nuclear warheads has been overshadowed by the equipping of remaining warheads with more precision in targeting.

And so I went back and looked through my Creative Projects folder, and I happened across the Maltese Falcon.

Since there were no distinctive physical differences between chemical and biological warheads and inspectors were still unaware of any biological weaponization, the true nature of those warhead fragments was not investigated further.

Degradation products of VX were found on missile warhead fragments by one national laboratory.

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.

With regard to Al Hussein missile warheads filled with biological warfare agents and later unilaterally destroyed by Iraq, in 1992 inspectors verified the number of fragments which Iraq declared to have been from chemical warheads.

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.

Ten percent of American electricity comes from decommissioned warheads.

They're available to be bought, stolen, whatever.

I removed the microphone from that, and then just pinched that like I just made a clip out of the microphone and clipped that to a piece of paper, any paper that you found around.

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.

For this phase, warheads were followed, from their receipt to their breakdown into component parts, with environmental and non destructive assay data taken at each stage.

The weapons included 25 special warheads for Al Hussein missiles and 157 R 400 aerial bombs, filled with biological warfare agents.

The following additional procedures for sampling and analysis were introduced by UNMOVIC in the light of this experience

With respect to weaponization, Iraq declared that warheads for Al Hussein missiles and R 400 aerial bombs had been filled with liquid biological warfare agents.

Dismantled warheads should only be stored for so long as it takes to safely effect their destruction.

Various reports suggest that China is selectively enhancing its strategic and tactical missile capabilities by developing solid fuel motors diversifying its range of warheads and increasing their accuracy deploying missiles with multiple warheads and upgrading its ballistic missile defense countermeasures, such as decoys, chaff, jamming, and thermal shielding, and possibly maneuverable reentry vehicles (MaRVs) and multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs).
