Abstract: A tool for automating management of software development and deployment processes. The tool is made up of a series of lists or databases tracking various information related to the software releases and individual software components making up the releases. The tool includes a user interface for receiving build requests from users. When a build request is received from a user, the tool checks a user list to verify that the user's role allows the request, and the tool executes the build script associated with the component, and updates a status associated with the build request. Builds are automatically sent to target nodes in pre-determined environments for testing or for operational deployment. The tool stores the code in the correct directory locations and install the code for use. The tool further allows tester to grade software and provide feedback and test results to the developers and configuration managers for further development.

Abstract: 1. A projectile comprising a nose section having a central core extending backward therefrom, said core having a cylinder in the tail end thereof adapted to receive a piston, a tail section having a central core extending forward therefrom, the front end of said core carrying a piston adapted to fit within said cylinder, an explosive charge within said cylinder operatively connected to a fuse carried by said projectile, said piston being within said cylinder so that upon explosion of said charge, said piston and cylinder are forced apart to separate said nose section and said tail section, a bundle of rods extending between said nose section and said tail section arranged about said central cores, and projections on each end of each rod engaging with corresponding depressions in said nose section and said tail section respectively for holding said rods in position until said charge is detonated and said sections are separated.
