Abstract: The disclosure provides for an audio accessory that includes earbuds or earphones, an input device, and a processor. The input device includes a first button and optionally includes additional buttons or touch sensors. The processor is configured to initiate an action when a first input is received at the first button, provide audio updates when a second input is received at the first button, and prepare the input device to receive audio input when a third input is received at the first button. Also, the processor is configured to silence a currently playing audio message and initiate playing a next audio message when a fourth input is received at one of the buttons or the touch sensors, and silence and mark the currently playing audio message for no further playback when a fifth input is received at one of the buttons or the touch sensors.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for applying a high frequency voltage in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid to create a relatively low-temperature plasma for ablation of tissue adjacent to, or in contact with, the plasma. In one embodiment, an electrosurgical probe or catheter is positioned adjacent the target site so that one or more active electrode(s) are brought into contact with, or close proximity to, a target tissue in the presence of electrically conductive fluid. High frequency voltage is then applied between the active electrode(s) and one or more return electrode(s) to non-thermally generate a plasma adjacent to the active electrode(s), and to volumetrically remove or ablate at least a portion of the target tissue.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing audio connection of a speaker arrangement, with an apparatus for providing audio to the speaker arrangement, using a connection element of the apparatus for providing audio connection, wherein the apparatus for providing audio connection comprises a connection element/connector body, and a user input interface arranged to provide for control of an audio setting of the audio, providable by the speaker arrangement, based on detected movement of the connection element/connector body.

Abstract: A method for accessing services in an apparatus that includes a multidetector is disclosed. A corresponding device, module and apparatus are also disclosed. Further, a computer program product for implementing the method is disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus for a portable electronic device, the apparatus arranged to detect substantially simultaneous user input from device user interface elements arranged to detect opposing user input, and to provide signalling, upon the detection of said opposing user input, for transferring electronic information content associated with the electronic device to a remote apparatus which is associatable with the electronic device. Apparatus for a portable electronic device, the apparatus arranged to detect movement of the device, relative to a remote apparatus which is associatable with the electronic device, as user input from the device, and to provide signalling, upon the detection of said relative movement, for transferring electronic information content associated with the electronic device to the remote apparatus which is associatable with the electronic device.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing navigational information to a secondary visual user interface of a portable electronic device, the device having primary and secondary visual user interfaces respectively located on different faces of the device, the primary visual user interface for use as a main user output interface of the device and the secondary visual user interface for providing a comparatively simple level of user output, wherein the primary and secondary visual user interfaces are respectively arranged such that the primary user output interface can provide a higher level of navigational information than the secondary user output interface, wherein the apparatus comprises circuitry for providing navigational information to the secondary visual user interface.

Abstract: In a contacts application, detecting an activation of a selectable element in a current view of the application.
