  • Patent number: 5969679
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining whether a wireless station is operating within a prescribed geographic location. During an initialization process, the wireless telephone measures propagation delays of pilot signals from nearby base stations and stores the propagation delays in a non-volatile memory of the wireless station. Thereafter, during a check process, the wireless station measures propagation delays of pilot signals from nearby base stations and compares them with the stored propagation delays stored in memory. If the difference between the two sets of propagation delays are within a predetermined tolerance, then a determination is made that the wireless station is operating within the prescribed geographic location. Multiple sets of propagation delays may be stored in memory such that a determination can be made as to whether the mobile station is operating within any one of a number of prescribed geographic locations.

  • Patent number: 5773856
    Abstract: A method and structure are provided for connecting to integrated circuitry. A connectivity cell includes multiple terminals formed within the integrated circuitry. The connectivity cell further includes at least one metal layer connected to at least one of the terminals. A first area is a substantially minimal area including the connectivity cell. A second area is a substantially minimal area including at least a part of each of multiple portions of the integrated circuitry. The portions are connectable to respective ones of the terminals while having a placement flexibility relative to the terminals. This placement flexibility of the portions is substantially equal to a placement flexibility of the second area within the first area.
