A system and method and device for using a computer to facilitate the issuance and redemption of energy related micro derivative contracts between a buyer and an seller, including a customer determining the derivative contract to be purchased and swiping the card through the card reader. The customer then submits the order to the central controller. At that point, the central controller will store the order in the database. The buyer then submits the contract to the central controller to request to redeem the contract. The central controller then validates the contract and if it is valid authorizes the delivery of the energy product to the customer.

A medical device (10) includes an implant body (20) with a number of segments (30) hingedly interconnected so as to assume a straightened state for delivery and a flexed or roughly curved deployed state. Implant body may have engagement elements on at least two different segments, for example on a majority of segments. An elongated locking element anchored at the distal segment of the implant body may have projections for at least each engagement element. Tension applied to the locking element biases the implant body from the straightened state to the flexed deployed state. When the locking element is deflected to reach the curved deployed state, flexing segments of the implant body lock by matching engagement elements of the implant body with projections of the locking element. A very secure lock may be formed to prevent opening after deployment.

To improve the consumer experience with portable electronic devices, a user interface combines the use of capacitive sensors with tactile sensors in an input device. When a user places a finger, stylus, or other input instrument near a given key button, a capacitive sensor causes the display to display temporarily an indication of the function of that key in an enlarged format. The user may then press the associated key button to activate the desired function. In one exemplary embodiment, the capacitive sensor fixes the functionality to the function indicated in the display. In this embodiment, a tactile input applied to any key, whether the correct key, multiple keys, or a single incorrect key, results in activating the function indicated in the display as a result of the capacitive input.

Implementations of the present invention provide systems, methods, and components configured to preserve valid shadow copies during replication cycles, before those valid shadow copies have expired. In particular, one or more components can identify the size and rate of changes in production server data that will be applied to a new volume shadow copy. The components can then determine the storage area that would be needed to store the new volume shadow copy in the backup volume and apply changes onto the backup volume if there is appropriate space. If there is not an appropriate amount of space, the components can alert the system that new action should be taken to preserve both prior, valid shadow copies as well as new shadow copies. For example, a backup administrator may need to increase the shadow copy storage space, or assign a new storage medium for handling new shadow copies.
