An object ( 201 ) (such as a containment mechanism) supports both a functional electrical circuit ( 203 ) and an electrical circuit ( 202 ) 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 ( 104 ) 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 ( 106 ) using the higher power state of operation.
