Methods and apparatuses for a mobile station to obtain a position fix using synchronous hybrid positioning and asynchronous hybrid positioning techniques are described. The system utilizes a remote monitoring unit located on-site. In a particularly preferred form of the invention, the inner andor outer cover layers comprise a reaction injection molded polyurethane. The rod apertures are spaced apart in a fashion to form the corners of an obtuse triangle. A module can be configured to apply a voltage to the first access line during an operation of accessing the memory cell associated with the second access line, and to place the second access line in a floating state during at least a portion of a time interval within the operation. The intelligent agent defines a set of management properties to include a status property representing a node severity value, and a property group consisting of a rule, an action property representing an action that is executed if the rule is satisfied, and a threshold value that represents a minimum value that is used as a rule parameter.
