A system for determining the disposition of a probe within the body of a patient includes a probe having probe field transducers and a plurality of reference field transducers. The reference field transducers are independently movable with respect to one another to desired, customizable positions close to the body of the patient. Calibration transducers determine the relative positions of the field transducers with respect to one another after they are located in their desired positions. Non-ionizing fields are transmitted and detected between the probe and reference field transducers. From the detected fields, the relative disposition of the probe with respect to the reference field transducers is determined.

A broadcast receiving device comprising: first device arranged so as in a first mode to enable selection and receipt of a radio frequency broadcast channel; second device arranged so as in a second mode to enable selection and receipt of a webcast channel over a telecommunications link; third device arranged to effect a change of mode from said second mode to said first mode automatically responsive to a measure of the quality of the radio frequency broadcast channel. 4. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said telecommunications link is a wireline telecommunications link. 5. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said telecommunications link is a mobile wireless telecommunications link. 6. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said webcast channel is selected responsive to data received as part of a radio frequency broadcast channel. 7. A receiver according to claim 6, in which the data is Radio Data Service data. 8. A receiver according to claim 6 in which the data comprises a web address. 9. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said broadcast channel is selected responsive to data received over said telecommunications link. 10. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 9 wherein said data is provided responsive to a channel selected in said second mode. 11. A broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 9 wherein said data is provided responsive to location of said broadcast receiving apparatus. 12. A telecommunications system comprising broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1. 13. A receiver according to claim 1 further comprising: an indicator arranged to provide to a user of the broadcast receiving apparatus an indication of a current mode of reception. 14. A receiver according to claim 13 in which the indication is one of an audio indication, and a visual indication. stored in association with the mobile identity number (MIN) and/or mobile directory number (MDN) of the wireless unit in a location register such as the home location register (HLR) in a network element of a wireless network. The network element is configured to accept and support the TR-1188, wireless intelligent network (WIN), or the like messaging processes. When a calling party uses a wireless unit to make a call to a wireline unit of a subscriber having calling name delivery service, the call is routed in a conventional manner to the service switching point (SSP) serving the calling line of the wireline unit. Based on the called party's status as a subscriber, the SSP uses the appropriate messaging process in a query/response exchange to obtain the calling party name and/or other information from the appropriate network element that includes the calling name (or other information) in or has access to an appropriate location register. The SSP then may provide the calling party name and/or other information for display on the wireline unit or associated display device.
