  • Publication number: 20240249231
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing cyber security projects. A method may include identifying cyber security related projects used to protect entity assets; and solving an optimization programming problem algorithm, using an optimization engine comprising an evolutionary algorithm, to identify project synergies to select a subset of cyber security related projects that optimize expected loss reduction from cyber security related threat.

  • Publication number: 20220092506
    Abstract: Systems and methods for joining a video conference. A first function can be found, wherein the first function can interact with a user interface element and can be used to call a video conference bot. The first function can be replaced with a second function; wherein the second function can be used to call the video conference bot but may not interact with the user interface element. The second function can be used to join the video conference without interacting with the DOM.

  • Patent number: 11232384
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining cyber security related projects to implement. Cyber security related projects used to protect entity assets can be identified. A return on investment for each cyber security related project can be determined. An optimization programming problem algorithm can be solved to remove project redundancies. Cyber security related projects to implement can be determined.

  • Patent number: 5839099
    Abstract: An signal conditioning apparatus and method to condition a human voice signal for input to a time-domain voice recognition system. The signal conditioner normalizes sampled human voice inputs so that all inputs result in an output with substantially the same pitch and frequency bandwidth characteristics. The signal conditioner includes a pitch altering circuit that alters the pitch of the input human voice signal and a frequency band limiting circuit that limits the range of spectral information contained in a signal. The pitch altering circuit converts the input into a digital signal at a first conversion rate and converts the digital signal back to an analog signal at a second rate which is unequal to the first rate. The frequency band limit circuit is a plurality of filters at different points in the frequency spectrum.
