  • Patent number: 12288553
    Abstract: A method of detecting a replay attack comprises: receiving an audio signal representing speech; identifying speech content present in at least a portion of the audio signal; obtaining information about a frequency spectrum of each portion of the audio signal for which speech content is identified; and, for each portion of the audio signal for which speech content is identified: retrieving information about an expected frequency spectrum of the audio signal; comparing the frequency spectrum of portions of the audio signal for which speech content is identified with the respective expected frequency spectrum; and determining that the audio signal may result from a replay attack if a measure of a difference between the frequency spectrum of the portions of the audio signal for which speech content is identified and the respective expected frequency spectrum exceeds a threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20220157334
    Abstract: A method of detecting live speech comprises: receiving a signal containing speech; forming a framed version of the received signal that comprises a plurality of frames; forming a first subset of the plurality of frames, wherein each frame of the first subset contains a signal that contains voiced speech; forming a second subset of the plurality of frames, wherein each frame of the second subset contains a signal that contains unvoiced speech; forming a first frame that is representative of a sum of a plurality of frames of the first subset; forming a second frame that is representative of a sum of a plurality of frames of the second subset; performing a time-frequency transformation operation on the first frame, to form an average voiced frequency spectrum; performing a time-frequency transformation operation on the second frame, to form an average unvoiced frequency spectrum; obtaining one or more voiced features from the voiced frequency spectrum; and obtaining one or more unvoiced features from the unvoice

  • Patent number: 8555536
    Abstract: An art frame includes a three-dimensional supporting frame, which includes an image receiving surface and an opposed back surface, a center portion defining a perimeter, and at least three foldable extensions extending from the perimeter. Each foldable extension includes two folds to be folded toward the back surface to form a frame portion. Abutting frame portions form respective corners of the three-dimensional supporting frame. A corner mount is to be inserted into the abutting frame portions at the respective corners. Each corner mount includes first and second opposed surfaces, a shaped portion, and two corner mount foldable extensions extending from two sides of the shaped portion. Each corner mount foldable extension includes two tabs to be folded toward the first opposed surface.
