Abstract
An object () (such as a containment mechanism) supports both a functional electrical circuit () and an electrical circuit () to which the functional electrical circuit is responsive. In a preferred approach the functional electrical circuit has both a low power state of operation and a higher power state of operation. Upon detecting () that an area of connectivity of the electrical circuit has been severed (via, for example, corresponding manipulation of the object itself), the functional electrical circuit responsively operates () using the higher power state of operation.
