In accordance with the present invention, an exercise machine receives exercise-related data for a particular user via a communication interface with an independent computing device specified by the particular user, such as a portable computer system, personal storage device, or network system. When the target processing unit instructs activation, the organism information forming unit notifies the target processing unit of information for the target process. The fired heater comprises a radiant section enclosure with a number of U tubes in the radiant section. Preferably, the proximal access cannula has a larger lumen diameter than that of the distal access cannula in order to reduce flow resistance within the cannula system. The multi-purpose missile launcher system is deployed as part of a modular weapon system that mates with a modular bed of the military land vehicle.
