Abstract: A method of managing leakage of liquid inside a battery system comprises: containing leaking liquid in a non-liquid sensitive region of the battery system so as to protect internal electrical components of the battery system from coming in contact with the leaking liquid; and in direct response to the leakage, expunging the leaking liquid from the battery system. A drain device includes: a body with a port therethrough, the body configured to be positioned in a wall of a container; means for opening the port in response to a first liquid contacting the drain device on an inside of the container; and means for resisting ingress into the container by a second liquid that contacts the drain device on an outside of the container.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for releasing a ligament. In one embodiment, the system includes a proximal handle, a tubular body, and a flexible body. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end. The handle is coupled to the proximal end. The flexible body extends through the tubular body and includes a tissue cutting portion. The flexible body is longitudinally displaceable relative to the tubular body to move the tissue cutting portion between a non-deployed state and a deployed state.

Abstract: An electronic capacity exchange system comprises one or more computing devices in communication with one another via at least one of a wired and wireless network. In one aspect, the system is configured to receive capacity orders for product and/or service capacity that include an associated order value in terms of non-monetary universal trading units (UTU's). In addition, the system receives at least electronic indication of interests, at least one of which corresponds to at least one capacity order. The indication of interest is compared to its corresponding capacity order and if there is a match, a capacity may be consummated and executed. Upon execution of the capacity transaction, a quantity of UTU's is credited and/or debited from electronic UTU accounts pertaining to one or both parties to the capacity transaction.
