  • Publication number: 20240031533
    Abstract: A method and system for securing an anonymous discovery service may include receiving a request from a client device, the request being directed to an anonymous Autodiscover service, identifying a source from which the request originated from within the client device, and responsive to the source being of a first type of sources, transmitting a first response to the client and responsive to the source being of a second type of sources transmitting a second response to the client. The first response does not return a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to a service endpoint, the second response returns a URL to a service endpoint. Furthermore, the anonymous discovery service may be a discovery service that requires no authentication.

  • Patent number: 8660676
    Abstract: Mitigation of nonlinear echoes by dynamic range compression may be provided. An audio output may be evaluated to determine whether nonlinear echoes are interfering with an audio signal. In order to reduce such nonlinear echoes, a dynamic range compression algorithm may be applied to the audio signal prior to output. The signal may be modified according to a compression wave and/or subjected to an attenuation factor.
