Abstract: An in vivo imaging system for viewing the interior of an organism includes a camera mounted to a sled body that is placed in the interior of the organism. The camera includes a lens, and a dome covers the lens. An image display device is provided to display images received from the camera. A cable communicates images to the image display device according to a viewing angle of the lens. A magnetic source body placed on the exterior of the organism magnetically attracts the sled body to hold the sled body in place in the interior of the organism.

Abstract: An apparatus for effecting communication between a wireless network and a coupled satellite radio receiver includes: (a) a wireless receiver for receiving at least one local signal associated with the wireless network; (b) a coupler for coupling the satellite radio receiver with the apparatus; and (c) a controller coupled with the wireless receiver and with the coupler. The control unit cooperates with the wireless receiver to ascertain presence of a local signal. The controller cooperates with the wireless receiver and the satellite radio receiver to ascertain whether a satellite signal received by the satellite receiver has a predetermined relationship with the local signal. When the satellite signal has the predetermined relationship with the local signal, the controller and the satellite radio receiver cooperate to provide signaling to the satellite radio receiver using the local signal.
