  • Patent number: 11699993
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signal sampling with offset calibration are described. For example, sampling circuitry may include an input pair of transistors where input signals may be provided to gate nodes of the transistors, and an output signal may be generated based on a comparison of voltages of drain nodes of the transistors. In some examples, source nodes of the transistors may be coupled with each other, such as via a resistance, and each source node may be configured to be coupled with a ground node. In some examples, a conductive path between the source nodes may be coupled with one or more switching components configurable for further coupling of the source nodes with the ground node. In some examples, enabling such switching components may add an electrical characteristic (e.g., capacitance) to the conductive path between the source nodes, which may be configurable to mitigate sampling circuitry imbalances.

  • Patent number: 11695798
    Abstract: A cybersecurity incident is registered at a security incident response platform. At a playbook generation system, details are received of the cybersecurity incident from the security incident response platform. At least some of the details correspond to a set of features of the cybersecurity incident. A set or subset of nearest neighbors of the cybersecurity incident is localized in a feature space. The nearest neighbors of the cybersecurity incident are other cybersecurity incidents having a distance from the cybersecurity incident within the feature space that is defined by differences in features of the nearest neighbors with respect to the set of features of the cybersecurity incident. A playbook is created for responding to the cybersecurity incident having prescriptive procedures based on occurrences of prescriptive procedures previously employed in response to the nearest neighbor cybersecurity incidents.
