the moment it is actually needed.

No. See below. (Besides, there is nothing that can remain functional after being hit by a nearby n blast :D )

They are used before it blows up to guide it there and arm it.

Right. Relevant links

Nike Missile Flight Sequence

"About 120 milliseconds before expected missile impact with (or closest approach to) the target at the Predicted Intercept Point, a "missile burst" command is issued by the computer through the Missile Tracking Radar. Some milliseconds are required for the missile to decode this command - then - oblivion - for the missile and hopefully the target."

Hey George, did you find any pics of them missiles with tubes in them?

I haven’t seen yet any photo showing the tubes operating inside those missiles.
But there were a lot of tubes onboard .
Nike Missiles

I learned a lot when I took apart an outdated surplus military gyroscope. Interestingly enough there were bits of knowledge that slipped past me at that time. Realized or learned even more bits later about details that were not quite obvious.

Ed it is obvious that you are not one-dimentional

I love all the dashpots. George when they got into the mid 60's I found things like beautiful discrete 6 and 8 bit R2R DAC's as well as RC filters packed with 1% film caps some in vivid colors. We used to shop with Jim Williams and he used them in his incredible 3D circuit sculptures.
 
большое спасибо ;-)
It seems the major problem of the Nike's designers was to enter square boxes in a cylinder.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

One of the Nike ground radars (don't remember which, I was from a newer generation, Hawk system) had a 4 foot diameter horizontal potmeter in the base to sense direction and rotation at increadible resolution. Beautiful piece of equipment. Albeit a bit too large even for high end audio.

I guess that's a loaded question, the claims certainly do explicitly but if they don't actually do anything no laws are violated.

I´m still surprised- last time i linked (and cited) an article including measurements where the signal level remained unchanged after inserting the "Bybee" while the noise floor was lowered ~10dB.

That is neither compatible with the assertion that those devices are just resistors nor with the assumption that those devices do nothing.

Is the "Bybee" better to separate R'n'B music than R'n'R music from the noise floor ?

I wouldn't trust those results.

For those who lack a sense of humor, think about this, there was some meaning hidden behind my joke.
That I could rephrase like : "How to separate the good noise (whatever its color) from the bad one ?"

I was responding to Jakob2's comment. I got your jest.
I was just bringing grist to your mill. (In French, we say "To bring water to the mill")
[edit] Oh, you were not my target about "the sens of humour" ;-)
You'd have to read the entire thing to see this. That, and part 1.
What the reason for such a hate ?

Sounds like a hoax or manipulation with facts/results. You would need at least 2 independent scientific measurements to confirm this. Is there any trusted source of these info and measurements?

I'm not talking about that, the same claims are made about the little wooden block. The article you linked had many plots at RF frequencies of little relevance to most of the claims. Show me a plot of sub 100Hz noise being removed while a music signal is unaffected. Those are the claims. To repeat again, violation of information theory and hence the second law are explicitly claimed this is beyond extraordinary the magazine should have sent their results to the Nobel committee (though it doesn't actually work that way).
