  • Patent number: 11706560
    Abstract: A headphone device comprising active noise cancellation means (ANC) having a feedback (FB) signal path, a feed forward (FF) signal path and a sidetone signal path, where the headphone is provided with a control member (1, 11) that can be displaced or rotated between opposite positions, where the control member (1, 11) is configured such that the gain of the FF signal path and the gain of the sidetone signal path are controllable by the control member (1, 11) in such manner that when the control member (1, 11) is at one extreme position, the gain of the FF signal path is maximum and the gain of the sidetone signal path is minimum and when the control member (1,11) is at the opposite extreme position, the gain of the FF signal path is minimum and the gain of the sidetone signal path is maximum.

  • Publication number: 20100198926
    Abstract: A system and a method where a client, which usually is portable, derives information relating to an event experienced by a user and communicates this event information to one or more providers which return with information relating to corresponding or similar events. In one situation, the client stores the event information if communication with the providers is not possible, such as if the client is out of reach of a wireless network. In another situation, the providers may store the event information and act as search agents performing searches also in the future on the basis of the event information.
