Abstract: A projectile is provided for firing from a launcher, including an ogive nose; a cylindrical midsection joined to the nose; and a base curvature shaped as a modified aerospike nozzle. The aerospike base is created using a modified method of characteristics nozzle design process. The aerospike base allows for the efficient expansion of air behind the projectile to recover base pressure and reduce the overall drag of the projectile.

Abstract: A medical care administration system that continuously provides accurate identifications of what medical care orders are due for administration in a medical care facility. The system uses a services oriented architecture to provide an interface with a pharmacy. The architecture provides message formats and respective data definitions in a web services descriptive language. Thus, data relating to medical care orders may be stored in a relational database in normative format of definitions that is independent of known pharmacy codes and definitions. With the system, all written orders are sent to a pharmacy by facsimile copy and returned to the care facility in electronic form for comparison with the written order. The system further provides a user interface that leads a person through an administration process and simplifies creation of an electronic administration record.
