Anastomosis devices, tools and methods of performing sutureless anastomosis. Anastomosis devices are provided for fixing a first conduit to a second conduit in an anastomosis, where the conduits are joined by interfacing their inner walls together. The conduit which is loaded on the anastomosis device may be mounted in such a way that the internal wall of the conduit does not make contact with the anastomosis device.

A system loads, authenticates and uses a virtual smart card for payment of goods and / or services purchased on-line over the Internet. An online purchase and load (OPAL) server includes a virtual smart card data base that has a record of information for each smart card that it represents for a user at the behest of an issuer. The server includes a smart card emulator that emulates a smart card by using the card data base and a hardware security module. The emulator interacts with a pseudo card reader module in the server that imitates a physical card reader. The server also includes a client code module that interacts with the pseudo card reader and a remote payment or load server. A pass-through client terminal presents a user interface and passes information between the OPAL server and a merchant server, and between the OPAL server and a bank server. The Internet provides the routing functionality between the client terminal and the various servers. A merchant advertises goods on a web site. A user uses the client terminal to purchase goods and / or services from the remote merchant server. The payment server processes, confirms and replies to the merchant server. The payment server is also used to authenticate the holder of a virtual card who wishes to redeem loyalty points from a merchant. To load value, the client terminal requests a load from a user account at the bank server. The load server processes, confirms and replies to the bank server.
