Abstract: A communication terminal for Internet telephony is provided that handles and control communication of data in accordance with a standardized network protocol and exchanges data with a connecting unit connected to the Internet where the resulting data exchanged between the terminal and a connecting unit consist of packets in a standardized protocol data packet format embedded in a wireless format. This provides a communications terminal which uses a network or the Internet for the transfer of digitized speech, etc., thereby achieving great economic savings. Also, the flexibility is increased with respect to wireless communication with the network or the Internet without any need for specialized equipment and functionality.

Abstract: A device with acoustic effect and a housing for being located in the cavum conchae of a human ear. The housing has a face adapted for abutment on the tragus, a face adapted for abutment on the antitragus, a mouthpiece adapted for being inserted into the mouthing of the auditory tract. A resilient means is adapted to abutment on the cartilage arch between the antihelix and the concha and influences the housing by a force oriented forwards towards the tragus. The resilient means is a leaf spring with a spring rigidity that decreases with the distance from the housing, whereby a uniform distribution of the force towards the cartilage arch at the concha is provided. The device may be a passive noise shield or it may have on eor two transducers for one-way or two way communication.
