The present invention provides a pointing input device, which sequentially outputs pointing position data indicating a pointing input position and push detection data from a push by the same pen or finger used for a pointing input. Administration of an opioid analgesic agent and a compound that binds to the SS1 or SS2 subunit of a sodium channel, such as tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin, and analogs thereof, produces analgesia in the treatment of pain in mammals. An exemplary method for releasing an explosive and liner from a dome end of a munition casing includes inserting a fluid port into a dome end of the casing and introducing a fluid through the fluid port to the explosive to release and separate the explosive from the dome end and to shear the mechanical coupling between the liner and the casing. A separator is typically provided downstream of the gas generator and upstream of the heat exchanger and the steamCO2 mixture is discharged from the gas generator at saturation temperature. This method retrieves a battery-power status that was previously measured and saved.
