  • Publication number: 20240146746
    Abstract: A technique for threat response associated with an endpoint detection and response (EDR) system. The system uses a combination of automated observable detection, threat intelligence enrichment, graph analysis, and supervised machine learning to machine-predict analyst behavior in classifying (as ‘true’ or ‘false’ positives) the EDR alerts, and to support either (i) automated suppression of those alerts that the system classifies with sufficient confidence as either true or false, or (ii) for those alerts than cannot be so classified, the providing of recommendations to analysts to facilitate their activities. Auto-detection of observables for graph-based feature detection, together with the automated disposition of alerts where possible greatly reduces overall analyst workload for the EDR system.

  • Publication number: 20240143297
    Abstract: An embodiment searches source for callable units, and scans the contents of the callable units, and generates a set of unit groups that each include one or more of the callable units. The embodiment preprocesses the callable units and then generates hashes of each of the callable units. The embodiment generates a data structure comprising unit identifiers associated with the hashes and their corresponding callable units. The embodiment generates statistical data using a callable-unit metric and updates the data structure by prioritizing the callable units based on the statistical data. The embodiment compares hashes of the callable units and identifies first and second callable units as redundant callable units. The embodiment updates the data structure by identifying the second callable unit as being redundant to the first callable unit. The embodiment generates a report of redundant callable units based on the data structure.

  • Patent number: 11973630
    Abstract: An enhanced quadrature receive serial interface circuit and methods are provided for calibrating the quadrature receive serial interface circuit. A quadrature receive serial interface circuit comprises a first phase rotator and a second phase rotator generating quadrature clocks of identical frequency. Calibration of the quadrature receive serial interface circuit uses a pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) received by the quadrature receive serial interface circuit. For calibration, one-half of the received PRBS bits are sampled and the phase rotator generating in-phase 0° and 180° clock signals is adjusted to center the data eye for the sampled half of the PRBS bits. Then all data bits (even and odd data bits) of the received PRBS bits are sampled and the phase rotator generating quadrature phase 90° and 270° clock signals is adjusted to center the data eye of all data bits of the PRBS bits to complete calibration.

  • Patent number: 11972267
    Abstract: Tasks are selected for hibernation by recording user preferences for tasks having no penalty for hibernation and sleep; and assigning thresholds for battery power at which tasks are selected for a least one of hibernation and sleep. The assigning of the thresholds for battery power include considering current usage of hardware resources by a user and battery health per battery segment. A penalty score is determined for tasks based upon the user preferences for tasks having no penalty, and task performance including at least one of frequency of utilization, memory utilization, task dependency characteristics and task memory hierarchy. The penalty performance is a value including both the user preference and the task performance. Tasks can then be put into at least one of hibernation mode and sleep mode dictated by their penalty performance during the thresholds for battery power.
