Abstract: A wireless noise-cancelling earplug includes a housing within which at least an active noise cancellation (ANC) circuit for producing anti-noise, a speaker for emitting the anti-noise as a sound wave, and a battery for powering at least the ANC circuit. The earplug further includes an audio cavity for guiding the sound wave from the speaker out of the earplug, at least one microphone for measuring ambient noise and feeding the measured ambient noise to the ANC circuit, and a passive noise reduction unit for blocking ambient noise.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for conservation of battery life with a shared network connection. In the context of a method, a connection is caused to be established with a local network. The local network includes a modem which is in connection with a network. The method also causes at least one mobile device to be disconnected from the network following the connection to the local network. While the at least one mobile device is disconnected from the network, the method receives a signal indicating that a connection should be established with the network. In response to the signal, the method causes the connection with the local network to be terminated and causes the connection to be established with the network.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: enable presentation of control elements on a graphical user interface during text entry based on a text string entered into a text entry field, the control elements being associated with non-predictive-text functions.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments described herein, there is provided an apparatus having a processor, and at least one memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform the following. Firstly, the apparatus is caused to identify, based on received gesture command signalling associated with two or more content items, one or more common aspects of metadata for those two or more content items. Secondly, the apparatus is caused to use an identified common aspect of said metadata to search for other content items with metadata in common to the identified common aspect of metadata.
