An apparatus is provided in one example embodiment and includes a power management module configured to receive data associated with travel being proposed by an end user of an electric vehicle. A capacitor structure having the high capacitance needed for logic elements is obtained without increasing the number of layers for fabricating the capacitor by forming a three-dimensional capacitor in the damascene pattern while maintaining the conventional processes in a damascene interconnection process. A determination is made as to whether the requested software component is present within the plurality of software components. The disk-like body has a central line defined between the first main surface and the second main surface, the edge region has an edge profile, and the edge profile is asymmetric with respect to the central line of the first main surface and the second main surface. Then, a control system may determine and implement an appropriate control action on the process. In accordance with the teaching of the invention, mobility M- and N-proxies are provided for intercepting data incoming from the mobile host and redirecting it to the corresponding host via transitional transmission sessions established by the proxies, such that the migration of the mobile host from one coverage area to another is transparent to the network application running on the mobile host.
