One or more embodiments of the invention enable a system and method for ordering tasks with complex interrelationships. In one embodiment, an event request is initiated by the kernel to the KM to execute an event flow. The microcapsules can be used in a variety of applications particularly in the field of thermal energy storage. A second venting passage is preferably employed, so that the liquid potting compound flows through the mold without trapping any air pockets. The version number and the configuration data are provided to an external pin for monitoring.
