Patent number: 11630911Abstract: A breach detection engine detects and mitigates the effects of breaches across one or more data sources. An index is generated based on one or more data sources and the index is queried using keywords indicative of potential breaches. A database of potential breaches is populated based on the query of the index. The potential breach database is queried using keywords associated with a system identity (e.g., a third party). A likelihood of a candidate breach is identified based on a set of breach criteria weights. A network node associated with a candidate breach determined to be an actual breach is identified for isolation or for the performance of one or more additional security actions.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: UPGUARD, INC.Inventors: Alan James Sharp-Paul, Christopher Robert Vickery, Jonathan David Hendren, Gregory Ford Pollock, Daniel Bradbury, Christian Alan Kiely, Gavin Richard Turner, Michael Franz Baukes

Patent number: 11176956Abstract: In general, various aspects of techniques are described to enable application directed latency control for wireless audio streaming. A source device comprising a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may store at least a portion of audio data. The processor may execute an application that outputs the audio data, and a request for a quality of service concerning audio processing applied to the audio data. The processor may determine whether the source device is currently displaying the application, and configure, responsive to the determination that the source device is currently displaying the application, a wireless audio processing path to achieve the requested quality of service. The processor may next process, by the wireless audio processing path, the audio data to obtain a bitstream representative of the audio data.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Qualcomm IncorproatedInventors: Laurent Wojcieszak, John Oliver, Richard Turner, Gary Sands, Justin Hundt
